Not too bad
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.

Glitch
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.
Glitch
It’s not letting me register for whatever reason
Stuck on create profile
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
Bug
My app was working great and now it doesn’t let me register
Really good
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.

Good then bad
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
Mano Language
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?
Flash cards
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.
A Great app but…
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.

Excellent!!!
If you are looking for an app that teaches African languages that aren’t very common, this is the app for you! I live in Zimbabwe and am trying to learn the local language, Shona. I have searched the AppStore thoroughly without finding a good Shona learning app. I finally found Sebmita and am enjoying my bite sized, easy to learn lessons. I can only make one suggestion- swap the Shona and English words so that you get an English word and have to find the Shona word. The subscriptions also are really good as they are not monthly, but paid once for all time. I might upgrade if I don’t get a Shona tutor instead. Thanks Sebmita!

Money
App was great at first could access all content with no ads. Then they added ads which was okay. Then they added ads and you have to pay to study some content. I am not paying 30$ or 20$ monthly. That’s actually ridiculous.
Ads are annoying
This app shows a lot of promise but the ad set up is insane. There are ads between every lesson, which is fine, but then you have to stare at a pop up prompting you to pay for ad free for one month for a full 45 seconds - between EVERY LESSON. please cut that out. Make it a pop up every 5 lessons and don’t make it a 45 second requirement. 5 seconds maybe. It’s the only reason I will stop using the app.

Great app but needs to improve subscription options
The app is great and has a wealth of languages on there with pronunciation. It includes a translation section to type anything you like.
Would like to see subscription options that allow you to permanently remove ads or for at least 1 year. Paying monthly for this is just silly and deters me from staying on the app for longer - I end up on YouTube language channels after a short while.
Also would be good to include a glossary/dictionary of words as we only are learning them as part of phrases.
Thanks. Hope you consider this.
Kind Regards,
Ivor

Bug
Even after the app has rebranded, once I try to click on a new lesson in transportation my screen fades out and turns white and i can’t access anything
Love this app
I think this app is amazing but I just have one complaint that I with it was easier to just to hear one word at a time, in a sentence. So it’s easy to learn that one word instead of having to hear the whole sentence or phase just to hear that one word.
Mandarin pronunciation is horrible!
First, I’ll say that I haven’t checked more than Mandarin and Swahili, and only a little bit of either. Swahili pronunciation seems ok, but not perfect. Mandarin pronunciation on the other hand, is absolutely horrible. The sort of horrible that made me wonder if they were actually trying to say alternate words for the words that I knew were correct. Additionally, the very first sentence was wrong, because no native Mandarin speaker ever says the equivalent of “Hello. How are you?”, since the words for “hello” and “how are you” are the same in Mandarin, with one small addition at the end. If you learned their horrible pronunciation and combined that with their wrong wording, there is no way that you would ever be understood. Additionally, no Chinese language appears to be supported or even mentioned on the developer’s very brief website. For these reasons, I’m not going to take the chance of learning the wrong thing, by using this app, for any language.

Downhill
This app has gone so downhill. It used to be called Mandla and it was specifically for African languages but now maybe they sold it because this app has changed so much also you have to pay for things on this app.
lacking hausa
please add hausa to your list of languages! it’s so widely spoken, i was surprised it wasn’t on the list.
Loving this app so far!
I came looking for a better app since the support for African languages is nonexistent with Duolingo. Thank you for this amazing app! 🥰
