Hikayeler hem eğlenceli hem de öğretici, ayrıca kelime dağarcığını geliştirmek için harika bir yol sunuyor. Sesli okuma özelliği sayesinde telafuzu da geliştirebiliyorum. Seviyelere göre hikaye seçenekleri olması çok faydalı. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim 👍 ### 5/5 — Guzel *2025-02-07, version 2.2* Faydali ve kullanimi kolay bir uygulama ### 5/5 — So smart and Useful app. *2025-02-03, version 1.0* 🌙 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-02-03, version 1.0* It offers engaging and useful stories for learning Russian.

The audio doesn’t work and the text doesn’t load. You can’t even send a message to the developers to tell them what’s wrong. Please fix this ! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. We’ve identified the issues affecting audio playback and text loading, and fixes will be included in our new update coming on September 1. We’ve also made several improvements to the app to provide a smoother and more reliable experience. Thank you for your patience and for taking the time to let us know! ### 3/5 — Kaldığın yerden devam etmiyor. *2025-05-03, version 2.6* Metnin ortasına geldiniz o an bitirmek zorundasınız. Kapattınız programı tekrar kaldığınız yere media yürütücü getiremiyorsunuz hikayeyi en baştan başlatmak zorunda kalıyorsunuz. Bu büyük bir eksiklik 3 puan verdim. ### 4/5 — good app, but transcripts need work *2026-06-14* loving the app so far, but the only issue ive run into is that the transcript for the readings will not always be for the one i have selected. not sure if that makes sense, but no complaints otherwise :) **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We will fix very aoon. ### 4/5 — Casi perfecta *2026-04-16* Me encanta esta app, pero sería ideal si permitiera modificar la velocidad del audio de los libros. Un saludo **Developer response:** Muchas gracias por tu comentario. La opción de ajustar la velocidad del audio estará disponible en la próxima actualización. Gracias por tu apoyo. ### 4/5 — I love it! *2025-03-28* I like it easy to use and good price. However I’m having a hard time getting it to play th recordings. It shows it playing but there’s no sound? **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks so much for your kind words and feedback. We’re glad you’re enjoying the app! Regarding the sound issue: if your phone is in silent mode, you might not hear the recordings even though they’re playing. We’re aware of this and working on an update so the audio will play even when the phone is on silent. Thanks for your patience and support! ### 5/5 — Impressive & Effective!! 🙌 *2026-09-16* I’ve been a long time language learner and have tried tons of apps whenever they hit the market. This one’s genuinely engaging, well-built, flexible, and effective. Really love being able to create my own word banks and have a variety of learning methods (flash cards, quizzes, etc.) that I could leverage. I also LOVE the YouTube and Apple Music integrations — music and video is such a VERY effective way to learn languages and feel integrated to the culture. Few little fixes would be good: when you complete a story and go back to the carousel, you get defaulted back to the start. For example, I’m on basic story number 20, but when I return to the carousel, I land on story 3. Product feature request: integrate with Spotify? I’d love to add my favorite Russian songs and add the words from the lyrics to my bank as well. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re really glad you’re enjoying the word banks, different practice methods, and the Apple Music and YouTube integrations. The carousel issue you mentioned was fixed in version 6.5. If you’re still experiencing it after updating, please reach out to us through the Feature Request section in the app so we can take a closer look. We’d also love to support Spotify. Unfortunately, Spotify’s current API and access policies don’t allow us to offer this integration to all Luna Reader users in the way we’d like. If that changes in the future, it’s definitely something we’d be interested in adding. Thanks again for the detailed feedback and for helping us improve Luna Reader! ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2026-07-06* I had never left a review for an app before, but after seeing how few reviews this amazing app had, I felt compelled to write one. This app is truly wonderful; you can listen to and read stories, instantly see the meanings of individual words, get translations for entire sentences, and mark words as "known" or "unknown" to study them later. Plus, the fact that there is a section for making suggestions shows just how much they value their work and user feedback. This app is absolutely fantastic—congratulate to the team for such great work! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Knowing that Luna inspired you to leave your first-ever app review truly means a lot to us. We’re especially happy to hear that you’re enjoying the stories, audio, translations, and vocabulary features. Feedback like yours motivates us to keep improving Luna and creating an even better reading experience for Russian learners. We also have exciting new features on the way, and we can’t wait to share them with you soon. Thank you for your support and for being part of Luna! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2026-05-24* I studied Chinese for years and my reading was helped immensely by an app with this exact same design that allowed you to click on a word while reading and find its meaning. I always looked for one with Russian but could never find it. Luna has finally filled that gap. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words. This is exactly the experience we wanted to create with Luna — making Russian feel more natural and enjoyable through reading. It truly means a lot to hear that Luna filled a gap you had been looking for for years. Thank you for your support and for taking the time to share this review. We’re continuing to improve Luna every day, and the next big update is coming very soon — stay tuned! ### 5/5 — Самый лучший app!!! *2026-04-17* Genuinely the best learning material I’ve only read 2 short stories and already feel like I know so much more. Thank you creators of this app!!! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ### 5/5 — très satisfaite *2025-08-07, version 2.7.3* très bien conçue, et je suis ravie qu’il y est un accès gratuit. Je réfléchis à acheter la version premium parce que l’appli est vraiment pratique et bien faite, mais même juste avec la version gratuite c’est déjà super. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Très bon application *2025-08-06, version 2.7.3* L’application est très bien pour améliorer sa compréhension du russe et dispose de textes de tout niveaux pour s’exercer. Et une voix peut accompagner la lecture de vos textes, ainsi on peut écouter comment les mots sonnent dans la vraie vie. Je recommande cette appli à n’importe qui souhaitant apprendre le russe. ### 5/5 — Çok memnunum *2025-07-23, version 2.7.3* Umarım uygulama uzun yıllar yayında kalır :) ### 5/5 — Hesap *2025-07-04, version 2.7.2* Uygulamada premium aldım ve sonrasında silmem gerekti geri indirdim daha önce yaptığım bitirdiğim her şey sıfırlandı hesap sistemi gelmedi mutlaka kalanı süper elinize sağlık. ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение! *2025-06-29* Оно поможет полегче учиться русскому языку. Спасибо за хорошое приложение. **Developer response:** Большое спасибо за ваш отзыв! Мы рады, что приложение помогает вам учить русский язык. Впереди новые истории и функции — оставайтесь с нами! 🌟 ### 5/5 — Great content *2025-04-20* Im trying to learn russian myself and I loved your application’s simplicity and usefulness. I love the idea of creating story sections based on the reading levels. There is only one issue though. When i click a word to learn the meaning, it is always kicking me the beginning of the story. I have to look and find the paragraph and sentence to continue to read each time. This part is annoying but Im hoping that it will be improved too. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! We’re really glad you’re enjoying the app and finding it helpful for learning Russian. Regarding the issue you mentioned — great news! We’ve fixed that in version 2.5.7. Now, when you tap a word, the app should no longer jump back to the beginning of the story. Thank you again for pointing it out. We truly appreciate your support! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
