Thank you for making such an amazing app. If anyone was thinking about learning Russian and thought “oh what if there was an app with literally everything you can say (for tourists of course there’s not the entire Russian dictionary in there)” , well this is the app! ### 5/5 — This helps me learn Russian so well 😭✨ *2023-02-19, version 4.5.2* I love how you can hold the words and it say it slowly and I get to learn the basics, it was definitely worth the buy! ### 5/5 — Best app native Speakers *2023-01-27, version 4.5.2* You can’t learn the language, listening to a computer voice. This is the best out there. I have speakers with a speed up slow down option. The only major shortcoming is it is a travel rather than language app. if they would use this template a method for 1000 word vocabulary, they make millions. ### 5/5 — It cool *2022-11-17, version 4.5* This app helped me learn a good amount of Russian free but unfortunately the rest is paid for ### 5/5 — Its been good so far. Thanks devs. *2022-06-20, version 4.0* Good download.

I only have the free version but the way it breaks words down to help with pronunciation is brilliant. Love it, it’s so helpful! (: ### 5/5 — Best app⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2021-05-08, version 4.0* I love this app but I wish the full version was free with no in app purchases then I would say it was the best ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Uma porcaria! *2017-10-18* Não baixem. Baixei a versão paga, que é incompleta e pede para pagar ainda mais por um “pacote”extra. ### 1/5 — Not so good *2017-08-12, version 3.5.1* You have to pay to get the full version ### 1/5 — Waste time *2012-03-19, version 1.0* Waste time dont dowload it How come people says very good idont belive it just basic program ### 2/5 — Slightly good *2025-12-04, version 5.1* Why do I need to pay for so many things. Those things are needed in order to actually learn Russian. ### 2/5 — Very Basic *2018-10-13, version 4.0* Unless you are prepared to make in app purchases this app is very very basic. It gives you the briefest of words and phrases to use. On the upside, very easy to use, learn at your own pace. ### 2/5 — Kinda bad *2018-01-23, version 4.0* Im slavic (bulgarian)and i wanted to learn russian but it sounds horrible because i know some words in russian but it doesnt sound good ### 2/5 — Basic starter app *2016-05-05, version 3.5.1* This is an app containing some basic phrases. You have to pay for a more extensive list. It is not an off-line translator. If you're looking for that you need to search elsewhere. ### 3/5 — :/ *2026-04-01, version 5.1* it didn’t really help me learn Russian but it is still good! ### 3/5 — Why *2025-08-04, version 5.0* First. It’s a okay app to learn but Why do u have to pay to learn Russian . Deleting app, ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2025-04-14, version 4.5.2* It’s ok but the fact that I have to pay 5$ for the free version is insane! And I thought learning was free on the whole country? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-01-17, version 5.1* I use this for about a month and was able to have a conversation with a nurse at my doctors appointment in Russian. I couldn’t believe it! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-01-04, version 5.1* This app is amazing for people trying to learn Russian. With a lifetime access to everything for only 25 bucks, this app gives me everything I need in my daily life in Russia and more ### 5/5 — REALLY GOOD APP *2025-05-02, version 4.5.2* It’s really good for talking and speaking.

Thank you 😊 ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2024-02-17, version 4.5.2* This is a great app to study with which includes slang terms. Also breaks down words and phrases phonetically so it’s easier to pronounce. Thank you for making this! ### 5/5 — I love it 😻 *2023-08-20, version 4.5.2* I love learning Russian with my beautiful fiancé, sometimes she bites my fingers when I get the words wrong but it is okay 😍 ### 5/5 — Very Good *2023-07-20, version 4.5.2* This app is very helpful for learning Russian. You can learn hundreds of words and phrases. A word is spelled in Russian, and has an English phonetic word to help you pronounce it and the word or phrase is spoken in very clear Russian. I an learning with Duolingo and this is a great help. There are even organized flashcards for study and testing. AND NO ANNOYING ADS. A big plus for me+++++ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
