It often gives you definitions that make zero sense, or will straight up change the definitions of a word. The voice recognition is infuriatingly bad as well. It sometimes takes 10 repetitions for it to hear what I’m saying, regardless of how clearly I’m enunciating. ### 2/5 — Scam *2026-08-26, version 3.26.2* From the app page it seems like it’s a free app with paid perks. The app is literally unusable unless you pay the EXORBITANT subscription fee. I do appreciate learning hiragana and katakana but outside of that, it’s useless. ### 2/5 — Whyyy *2026-07-26, version 3.19.0* Why those it cost to learn an language ### 2/5 — Gabby *2026-07-22, version 3.18.0* So Good ### 2/5 — You have to pay for everything plus it’s hard to scroll *2026-07-06, version 3.14.0* I can easily go to the lessons tab with the vowels and stuff but why is it so hard to go to the free speak then for some reason I can’t do any speaking things without getting notified that I need to pay. Plus it’s so hard to scroll to the free chat cuz the scroll literally skips over it so I can’t even chat to the ai. ### 2/5 — 課金アプリ *2026-06-28* 煽りのやつはやってるからインストールしたけど課金しないとてきないし、煽りの面影もないよー ### 2/5 — Very very limited lessons and it’s called Sakura SPEAK but the SPEAK part costs money just terrible *2026-06-20, version 3.9.0* I tried to do the speaking lessons and learned ITS 18 DOLLARS!? Some lessons were free but those were bs 1 it had to much info 2 it didn’t let me speak 3 I couldn’t exit the quiz 4 it’s everything I already know 5 there’s no harder lessons 6 it looks like it was made by a 7 year old ### 2/5 — Good if you know the language already *2026-06-14, version 3.9.0* In trialing this app the beginning immediately slammed me with full on conversations. You can’t give someone 5 sentences per conversation that they don’t ever repeat and expect them to remember it or the words in it. ### 4/5 — Best app EVER *2026-06-09* Genuinely don’t know why the reviews are so bad 😭😭 like bro. Honestly speaking, this is THE best app you could use to learn Korean/Japanese. It’s been only a few days since I downloaded it, and I’ve already mastered reading in Korean. The popular apps (*cough cough* Duolingo *cough* Busuu *cough* *cough*) could NEVER!! It made me believe that learning a new language is possible. Genuinely. ### 4/5 — Awesome so far *2026-05-10, version 3.4.1* just started but its kinda going good ### 2/5 — Need to pay *2026-04-22* Im trying to learn japanese and i need to pay to speak and i thought it was free ### 5/5 — Perfect! I love the anti-duolingo energy! hahaha *2026-04-18, version 3.0.1* 1000/10 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Way over priced *2026-08-24, version 3.26.2* You spend $17 to learn and it’s boring and kinda all over the place and on top of that you want to speak to the AI to learn but you need to spend another $17 a month if you want to do that which is crazy ### 1/5 — Only works with subscription *2026-08-18* Lessons wont load without subsciption ### 1/5 — The pronouncing icon doesn’t work *2026-08-08* Downloaded this app recently to learn Korean but all the pronunciation doesn’t work when I click on it Please fix this asap this is very irritating last bug fix a week and I am struggling from past 1 week ### 1/5 — Nul *2026-07-14* de 1 c’est payant et de 2 je vous rapelle qur l’ia est mauvais pour la planète ### 1/5 — Install Duolingo *2026-06-15* Can’t use anything without paying 👽 ### 1/5 — Surprise paywall *2026-06-15* I have no problem paying for a premium app and regularly do, however, I need to be able to test an apps functions. This app wastes your time asking many questions, only to tell you that you need to pay to see the full features. At least give a trial so we can see if it is worth the money. ### 1/5 — May sakura please fix this *2026-06-06, version 3.8.0* So basically I didn't want a subscription and everything is saying that it's coming soon which doesn't make sense as it worked on some people that are on YouTube TikTok and more but if this isn't fixed I will have to delete it ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-04-26* I just paid Sakura speak for a month and I worked for a minute and then started asking for money ### 1/5 — why *2026-04-14, version 2.12.2* THE WHOLE REASON I GOT THIS IS CAUSE I WANT TO LEARN TO SPEAK JAPANESE FASTER, BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY 20 A MONTH?!? ### 1/5 — No Free Trial *2026-04-13, version 2.12.2* All other language AI apps have a free trial. This one doesn’t. Or their UI/IX is too broken to make it clear there is a free trial sigh. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — it’s so cool because you can learn different language *2026-08-02, version 3.21.0* i give it a 5 ### 5/5 — Athen *2026-07-23, version 3.19.0* Is the best app of all time? ### 5/5 — YO-YEANMOAKCORTIS I LOVE KPOP *2026-07-18, version 3.18.0* I LOVE TO LEARN JAPANESE AND CHINESE AND KOREAN I WANT TO LEARN MORE ASIAN STUFF ### 5/5 — Yippieeee *2026-07-16, version 3.16.0* Hope it’s free ### 5/5 — From Ellie *2026-06-15, version 3.9.0* Every thing is good the app is teaching me new ways to speak and learn Japanese 🥳,but since today when I downloaded it it keeps kicking me out of the app :( ### 5/5 — Very good apps I’m not good talk korea but I downloaded this app very smart sakura speak *2026-06-09, version 3.8.0* Nice ### 5/5 — Nice job!
