Sadly AI slop
I was super excited about this - I rarely see a language learning app that offers my need of language, Gujarati. However, immediately the AI-generated pronunciation was awful. phrases as simple as “goodbye” and “how are you” are butchered. If you can’t have a native speaker do your pronunciation, or at the least quality check it, don’t offer it yet!

So happy
This is exactly what I needed, I’m so excited to learn Dari and be confident talking with my bibi Jan
Scam
Money was taken out of my account directly by the app developer, not Apple, before my free trial was even up. I’ve tried emailing using the email on the website but it shows up as undeliverable.
Improvements needed!
A good app for learning Dari but the app is glitchy despite paying for a premium subscription. Understandable as it’s a new app but lots of improvement is needed.
Some of the audio does not match up and you are forced to do lessons in order, you cannot choose what you want to learn. The flashcards also do not appear for me.

screen freezes

Idk
I want to sign in the continue button does not work and when a quiz is loading then i‘m getting kicked out..
I really wanted to like it 💔
Almost unusable, tried to click into Syrian Arabic but the AI voice started speaking a completely different language
Audio doesn’t match
Was excited to learn Punjabi but some of the audio is a different language than Punjabi and the pronunciations don’t help you at all as they are in an American accent and incorrect
Kept Crashing
I didn’t even get to USE it. Didn’t get the past the question stage where it asks where you’re at. Kept crashing me out. I deleted and reinstalled over and over but still never worked.
Don’t waste your time
I first heard about this through social media and thought it would be amazing as it didn’t focus on mainstream languages, but then I found out this app forces one to pay after doing a self-assessment on what your level is within that language. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP!
Vibecoded Pricey App
Wasted 5 mins doing the assessment just to find out it’s paid.
Like I’m down to pay any amount, but it’s obviously AI vibe coded. The text to speech is very off from what Punjabi sounds like, despite what the Instagram reel skit suggests.
It’s so bad that I can make this app for free in 30 mins. What a shame

refreshed my progress
I really love the app, its hard to find these languages in other similar apps. But, I spent over an hour on the app for it to refresh and all my progress to be gone forcing me to restart :(

Great intention but too many glitches
I started the Pashto lessons. Most of the audio doesn’t match the word in the lesson. Some of the written Pashto did not match the transliteration. The lesson review quizzes ask things that weren’t taught in the lesson. This app can be really great with the right fixes.

Won’t let me cancel
I have been trying to cancel the free-trial from the get go and continuously would get an error message. I’m happy there is an app for these languages but just because of the technical issues I wouldn’t recommend.

Not for Persian
Not accuracy audio for question for Persian.
Good app but there are flaws
I love that there is finally an app out there covering South Asian dialects, as someone who can understand Punjabi but speak very little this could be something to help my confidence in speaking! However I got the 3 day trial and already on day 1 I’m noticing that there are flaws. when going through the tests the speaking doesn’t make sense and I even heard it speak in a different language at one point! There’s are of clean to do bit after that this app would be excellent!

Needs improvement
A lot of the voicing for questions don’t work, don’t let you repeat to hear a question again. The narrator will say a “Red is laal” but the answer choice is not there
Full of bugs
Vibecoded app that is full of bugs
Great concept but app needs to be updated and ensure it’s working
Love the idea, Been trying to find somewhere for over 3 years to learn one of the languages offered on your app but the audio doesn’t work which is a bummer. I really thought i’d be able to start learning and be able to speak the language but until audio is fixed it’s not possible to learn anything

Improvements
I like This app a lot and have been looking for something like this for years but I couldn’t find it. Unfortunately the app has some problems. When I close the app and I go back on it it resets all my progress and makes me restart from beginner level 1 again. Also I picked the premium option so I could learn Pashto and Dari but when I tried to switch to learn Dari the app wouldn’t allow me.
