At least you should leave a free way for speaker If not, this app is definitely a paid service ### 4/5 — Pretty impressive *2026-08-15, version 4.61.0* 4/5 ### 3/5 — Too many errors *2026-08-12, version 4.60.0* I initially enjoyed using it to learn Japanese from English. Despite some speech recognition issues, it was a satisfying way to work my way through the lessons. But I stopped using it after discovering a growing amount of content errors (wrong pronunciation, mixed up counters and meanings, etc.), and got frustrated doing review practice of cards that I knew were wrong and I had reported weeks ago. To its credit, at least the AI assistant built in would acknowledge the errors when I would get confused and ask, and explain how to say the sentence correctly. ### 3/5 — Sad *2026-08-12, version 4.60.0* Why there is no arabic in the native branch☹️ ### 2/5 — Started off good *2026-08-11, version 4.60.0* Started off working fine but after the first lesson it was no longer registering I was saying anything. ### 4/5 — Voice recognition needs work *2026-08-11, version 4.60.0* I’m loving the app so far! I just wish the voice recognition would work better. ### 4/5 — Просьба *2026-08-10* Здравствуйте!

Won’t open on my Ipad. Endless spiral. Not good, people. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2026-08-15, version 4.61.0* Seems like a good app I’m interested in Russian language other apps have more to choose from ### 1/5 — Not like the advertisement *2026-08-14, version 4.60.0* The advertisement showed me interacting with a Spanish speaker, very slowly - an AI character. This is nothing like ### 1/5 — Lost all progress *2026-08-13, version 4.60.0* I just went to do my daily practice and all my progress has been erased. Up until now I would’ve recommended the app but apparently your progress can get lost at any time. ### 1/5 — Bug or intention? *2026-08-11, version 4.60.0* It’s all fine until suddenly, when i finish a sessions, it appears premium options which i can just skip it as usual but that time it becomes a loops, i can’t get through it to start a next session, literally all sessions have it are like it ### 1/5 — Worthless app *2026-08-09, version 4.60.0* Don't waste your money. The app doesn't work. It doesn't even acknowledge that I have said anything. I'm saying the words over and over and nothing is happening until it makes a sound that sounds like a failure, then proceed on as if I did a perfect job. Doesn't seem like a reliable app to learn a new language if it can't critique my pronunciation. Canceled subscription within first 10 min. ### 1/5 — Was Good *2026-08-06, version 4.59.0* It's like as soon I got to 70 days, everything went wrong. it erased all my progress from the first course. Stating that I have to do them all over again or buy premium. bad app ### 1/5 — Misleading ads *2026-08-05, version 4.59.0* Hoping to learn Hindi and Spanish, the app preview says Hindi is offered… it is not and neither are like 10 other languages they list. Waste. ### 1/5 — Are you joking? *2026-08-02, version 4.59.0* Very first lesson. “Nice to meet you”! Great, cool. Hey, I wonder what mucho actually translates to? Software says “nice”. Be so for real. If you can’t get basic vocabulary right, I’m not using this app. ### 1/5 — Rushes through lessons *2026-08-02, version 4.59.0* App just pushes through lessons without giving enough time to try to get the answers. I’m literally "passing" lessons by getting 100% wrong. I can stare at a blank wall and learn just as much as this app is teaching me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Classe A *2026-08-22* Boa ### 5/5 — Spanish *2026-08-16, version 4.61.0* Is teaching me how to speak Spanish ### 5/5 — Tried others *2026-08-16, version 4.61.0* Tried other apps, this one is working for my. I’m not conjugating verbs, I’m learning to speak ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-16, version 4.61.0* I love it I just wish you could learn multiple languages at once like Duolingo ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-08-15, version 4.61.0* This app is very good I love it very much it has helped me so much!! ### 5/5 — Great so far *2026-08-14* I’m a few days in and I’m really enjoying it ### 5/5 — The best speaking app ever *2026-08-14, version 4.60.0* This is the best speaking app ever because I feel like it really helps me and yeah, I’m trying to learn Spanish and yeah and I’m being so truthful. I don’t like Duolingo like that but yeah, I like this I’mma give you kind of an update but like yeah I really like this app. ### 5/5 — Great learning system *2026-08-12, version 4.60.0* Great learning techniques that actually help you remember words and phrases on a daily. The interaction is spectacular because the lessons can be built for you through actually having a conversation even though it is AI it helps you form sentences on your own and gives corrections when needed. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-08-11, version 4.60.0* It is a really good app,it makes you feel like your learning from a professional. Unlike apps like Duolingo, it actually tells you if your doing something wrong, and will play back your voice so you can here the mistake. ### 5/5 — Never too old to learn *2026-08-10, version 4.60.0* This app is great. I love that I can restart each phrase as many times as I want. Everyone learns differently and I have tried so many ways. Speak is actually teaching me Spanish. I am 8 days in and usually I would’ve given up by now. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
