### 3/5 — Not too bad

*2025-12-10, version 7.0*

I just started using this app to perfect my yoruba and while although it’s good there’s still needs to be improvement, some of the words don’t have any audio to them, so it’s much harder to figure out how to pronounce the correctly i wish that could be fixed, i also would like the pronounciation of the words to spelled out it makes it much easier because most of the time the pronouncing of the words are too fast so i wish that could be included.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2025-11-30, version 7.0*

Started learning Shona and it was going well, I got busy and hadn’t used it in a few days. When I went back onto it, it  would not let me login, I tried making a new account, it would kick me out and make me start the sign up again, and is still doing the same thing now. A real letdown.

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2025-11-30, version 7.0*

It’s not letting me register for whatever reason

### 1/5 — Stuck on create profile

*2025-11-21, version 7.0*

I used this app a lot but they added something that wants me to create a profile and every time I register it takes me back to the same page and now I can’t learn anything now

### 3/5 — Bug

*2025-11-18, version 7.0*

My app was working great and now it doesn’t let me register

### 5/5 — Really good

*2025-11-14, version 7.0*

I love this app so much! It has wide range of African languages even my mother tongue, Lingala. Which, i find that alot of other language apps tend to lack. 

if its okay, can i recommend that you could add more asian languages such as Nepali? Please and thank you.

### 1/5 — Good then bad

*2025-11-10, version 7.0*

At first this app was good but then it started to act funny it’s asking me to login but it will not let me

### 5/5 — Mano Language

*2025-03-29, version 7.0*

So I was looking through the app and I was just happening to wondering if you also teach Mano or will add that anytime soon?

### 4/5 — Flash cards

*2024-12-27, version 7.0*

This app is great for flash card type learning. It’s language development through rote memorization. It would be helpful if some AI conversations could be introduced so there is practice with usage and not just memorizing and matching.

### 3/5 — A Great app but…

*2024-12-21, version 7.0*

The app is very good, featuring a nice UI/UX design. Based on my experience with other apps, I believe Sebmita has potential; however, I’ve noticed a couple of issues. There isn’t a breakdown of the words, and the app doesn’t provide a way to learn the alphabet. You primarily listen to the words, but it can be challenging to keep up. Sometimes, it’s difficult to grasp what was spoken or to follow along. It would be helpful if there were resources to learn the basics, such as the alphabet and a few simple words, before diving into the main content. I learn Amharic and this is a problem for me, as most of the words sound so foreign to me that I struggle to even follow up.
