### 1/5 — stopped working

*2026-03-06, version 1.0.0*

wtf

### 1/5 — Stopped working, support email doesn’t work

*2026-02-16, version 1.0.0*

Title - app is now stuck on a white screen ands unresponsive. Tried to email support and it didn’t work

### 5/5 — App glitch

*2026-02-04, version 1.0.0*

The app isn’t working on my end. It might be a glitch or technical issue, but I’d really appreciate it if someone could look into fixing it as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Best for Basics

*2025-09-08, version 1.0.0*

I wanted to learn simple words as my in-laws are Laotian and this is the best since it not only has words/phrases for simple conversations, it also has audio for easy repetition and no ads so far. It reminds me of what you’d learn in school minus syntax learning. It helps me a lot bc I have to read and hear the word spoken out loud for me to learn so this is ideal to help teach my toddler words and phrases.

### 5/5 — Learn by phrase and sound.

*2025-01-25, version 1.0.0*

Best to learn by natural speaking of Lao in phrases. Simple and clean.

### 5/5 — Crazy find

*2024-12-20, version 1.0.0*

There’s not a lot of Lao learning resources out there like this. Props to the creators 🇱🇦🙏

### 4/5 — Lao lernen

*2024-11-11*

Eine gute App zur Unterstützung zum Laotisch lernen. Es hilft beim lernen mit den Alltäglichen Vokabeln die man braucht um sich zu verständigen und und die nicht so leichte Sprache zu verstehen. 
Es wäre nicht schlecht wenn sie auch das Alphabet enthalten würden und man die Vokabeln Automatisch abspielen könnte als Ganzes. Alles im ganzen eine gute App zur Unterstützung zum Laotisch lernen und für das lernen der Aussprache

### 5/5 — Apprendre le laotien

*2024-09-26*

Superbe application, j’ai pas encore fait le tour mais j’aime beaucoup merci!!! J’ai galerer à en trouver une comme sa 😭

### 4/5 — Persons’s review

*2024-05-15, version 1.0.0*

It is a good app But I need more time to study the words and  it doesn’t have a back and forth talking mode to use and not all times like 7:45

### 4/5 — Really great app!

*2024-01-24, version 1.0.0*

It literally lives up to the name, it’s simple and not too complex regarding learning and I’m picking up things decently already! I just wish the voiceover would talk slower or have a feature to hear it slower.
