Slop
Just a bunch of AI slop. Barely picks up speech and lessons are boring and repetitive. Not worth the subscription cost. No work went into it whatsoever. Don’t waste your money or time.
Performance Issues
Great app, but as other reviewers have reported the app does seem to slow down with pictures being slow to load and voice recognition not registering. Not sure if I’ll continue with subscription after the trial because if it…
Great app, but no Mac support
Everything about Rosetta Stone Sapphire is great. The lessons, design, and learning experience are excellent. However, it doesn’t support Mac, and unfortunately, I can’t even access it through the web version on my Mac. I really hope Mac support is added soon.
Mikrofon geht fast immer nicht
Ich lerne sehr gern Japanisch mit der App und habe diese wegen der Aussprache-Feedbacks gewählt. Doch genau das funktioniert selten. Sehr ärgerlich. Ohne diese Funktion ist die App schlichtweg zu teuer.

Wir entschuldigen uns für die aufgetretenen Schwierigkeiten. Hier sind einige Tipps bei Problemen mit dem Mikrofon: - Warten Sie nach dem Signalton einige Sekunden, bevor Sie sprechen. - Deinstallieren Sie die App und installieren Sie sie anschließend neu. Dadurch wird der App-Cache geleert, was das Problem möglicherweise behebt. - Schließen Sie andere Apps, die das Mikrofon im Hintergrund verwenden könnten. - Versuchen Sie, näher an das Mikrofon heranzurücken oder eine ruhigere Umgebung aufzusuchen. Sollten die Probleme weiterhin bestehen, wenden Sie sich bitte an unser Support-Team: https://www.rosettastone.com/support
Listening Bugs
Great except sometimes when it’s listening, it doesn’t even register I spoke at all. I have to close and re-open the app.
Excelente
App ficou ainda mais lúdico com lições estruturadas na medida certa para você criar uma rotina diária sem se cansar. Recomendo de olhos fechados para qualquer pessoa que queira aprender um novo idioma com confiança !!
Vibe coded spaghetti
The Rosetta Stone brand and original method (as well as its resources, which withstood the test of time) have been mismanaged for a long time. This is just the last flop. Bad taste and poorly put together. A shame. To this day, I have fond memories from the original desktop app. It was revolutionary at the time. This is just bad. You just need the cards, the same flow, the same beep. Real voice actors, sharp pronunciation analysis. The fantastic feedback loop. Ultra clean, lightweight design. It works. Previous app was poorly adapted, but acceptable. What was wrong was your pricing model. Now you’ve changed the pricing model, and degraded the rest. Pissing off your loyal userbase who purchased the previous offering in the process. Go figure. 🤷

Horrible
I thought this app would be a good tool to learn a new language, since Rosetta Stone has been around since the dawn of time, but it’s absolutely terrible. The voice recognition is terrible and frustrating, and it doesn’t explain anything in your native language, so it’s relying on you to GUESS the meanings of the new content. I often have to google the definition in order to understand the new words. When trying to speak, either it accepts any gibberish you throw at it, or it refuses to accept words you say perfectly. For example, I’m trying to learn Italian, and it absolutely will not accept my voice when I say “blu”, even though it’s said the EXACT same was as “blue” in English. I unfortunately paid for a whole year of this trash, but I won’t be making the mistake of paying for another.

Total umständlich
Ich habe über Rosetta Stone schon viel Gutes gehört und wollte deshalb die App ausprobieren. Wenn man die App auf macht, wird einem ein Anmeldebildschirm gezeigt. Unten gibt es einen Link zu „Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen“. Wenn man auf den Link klickt, wird man auf die Homepage weiter geleitet, wo man dann weiter suchen muss. Irgendwann findet man dann eine Seite mit pdfs, für die ich dann erst mal Adobe Acrobat installieren soll. Warum auch immer, denn ich kann pdfs normalerweise auf meinem iPhone öffnen… So oder so ist das ziemlich umständlich für das Jahr 2026. Eine Lifetime Subscription scheint es auch nicht mehr zu geben. So oder so findet man die Preise nur auf der Homepage (und wahrscheinlich nach der Anmeldung). Schade, dass man hier nicht transparent sein möchte. Ich werde die App wieder deinstallieren.

Better learning experience
Lowkey better than duolingo, feels like my german class i took once
Too much AI
Wow this app was completely designed by AI. I honestly couldn’t use it because it hurt my eyes. I’m so disappointed.
Good review
This is really helping me learn French I really recommend this app
Great learning tool but app needs work
Good learning platform. The immersion learning style is much more effective than trying to translate everything to English. However the app is unstable. Very glitchy. Duolingo is much more stable.
Update: As I have been using this app more and wow the glitches are severe. For example, the speaking lessons completely freeze and stop recognizing that you are speaking and the screen freezes. Seriously work is needed on this app. As a software engineer, this is an example of a very poor QA team. AI is coming and risks replacing a lot of these apps so get it together now or you’re going to be out of business.

Please help me
I have completed lesson one and want to continue but I am having issues with that. It keeps telling me I have to do the free month trial but I don’t want do that. Do I have to do it or do I have a choice??
Don’t be evil
Completely cutting off previous lifetime buyers is a punch in the face - especially considering that the old app was never very good on phones and tablets.
There are enough alternatives so we don’t need to tolerate unfriendly behavior like this.

We appreciate you being a Rosetta Stone customer! Rosetta Stone Sapphire is a new separate app, but you can continue using your lifetime subscription as normal with the Rosetta Stone Classic app.
Lovely, but has a slowing down issue that needs addressing
I’m having fun with the app and like the UI, but as another review mentioned the app gets slower and slower over any single session (especially visible in the speaking exercises, which start taking a while to start recording)- a memory leak, maybe? It’s usable for me provided I close and reopen the app every lesson or two, but I hope an update addresses this.

App issues
Unit 6 - Past Tense - Meaning and Understanding - intro to writing is not working. Though the words are typed in correctly it is saying that it is incorrect. Everything is highlighted blue which is the indication that it is right but it is not giving the credit for the answer.
