Good Idea and Design, Disappointing
I like the good vibes here.
But, a lot of delays in responses.
Lacking in proper execution.
Too buggy overall.

It doesn’t teach you
This app just put me straight to conversations and I could not understand it was day obe
Genuinely the best Ive tried
I’ve tried a lot of language apps, but this is honestly the best way to practice speaking without feeling awkward. The conversations feel genuinely conversational instead of scripted and it talks about current trending topics and I love that it has memory it actually remembers what we talked about before and builds on that. As an intermediate learner, it’s hard to find tools that aren’t too basic or overwhelming but this app perfectly fits that.

Huge change
I’ve been using Jojo (the original name) for a few months and I really loved it. I learned so much Japanese really quickly and it made my move to Japan really easy, however this new update changed everything I loved about the app. I’m a UX designer by trade, so I already know the worst thing an app can do is completely change everything without notice.
I used to regularly recommend the app to my friends, but since this latest overhaul, I canceled my subscription after testing it out for a day. I really dislike this shift in the app.
I only gave it two stars as a thank you for the initial help it was. The huge shift was not helpful at all to the way I enjoy learning a new language.

Not free
It absolutely does charge you after the first exercise. It doesn’t even let you complete an entire lesson so you can determine whether or not you like this. Lesson 1 starts with basic introduction about 7 minutes of speaking practice. Second, it’s review and refine pronunciation. Third, it appears to be a chat option to use the new phrases in context. These three things make up every lesson. I was able to do the first option of lesson one, but locked right away saying I need to upgrade. Again, I don’t know if I like the app yet. You could’ve let me finish the entire first lesson before trying to force me to pay $119 for the annual fee or $17 a month. Crazy expensive for such a short trial. Could at least offer a 7-14 day free trial for those high prices—then I would consider paying.
