### 5/5 — Awesome! Just 1 request

*2016-06-28*

This is an excellent app, the speaking is clear and has option for Latin American and Spain Spanish. My one request is for another topic - emotions (happy, excited, angry etc etc) and phrases with that.
I have Spanish, German, Italian and French, so I'm speaking for all languages here.
Love them all.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2015-05-06*

I work with foreign students everyday, this is the perfect app to help us with communicating.. I recently used it in Havana, Cuba when I got lost.. 
Can't live without it!

### 5/5 — Love

*2015-03-03*

This app is very useful, i love how you can make it talk slower so you can understand. No robot voices either! Please add more words and phrases :)

### 5/5 — How I like the app

*2014-09-14*

I really like this app. This is the best one I have used for the purpose of learning Spanish. Thank You.

### 5/5 — This is good for a Spanish speaker that doesn't know English

*2014-03-08*

This will be great for my mom.! She does know English but the bad words -.-... But finally she can speak English with this app.!!! Thanks

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-02-21*

A great app that's easy to use and works really well. I would however recommend you use it in conjunction with Duolingo.

### 5/5 — I'm amazed

*2014-01-04*

This program is amazing I have learned so much by it and I'm still learning when I got it I just thought it was a Spanish app but no it teaches you it tells me how to say it it says it more slowly it is the reason I want to go to Mexico, the day I downloaded it i downloaded a lot of them so I could see witch one i liked and I deleted every other one then I was going through my apps and I say this one and I used it and now I love it it teaches me easy so thank you to this Spanish app

### 5/5 — Amazingly useful!!! 😄

*2013-05-18*

This app is truly superb and has everything you'll ever need on holiday to a Spanish country

### 5/5 — Easily worth $3.98!

*2013-04-10*

$1.99 for the full version of the app, plus another $1.99 for the bonus phrase packs, will be the best $3.98 you've spent on the App Store in a long time. Really great, practical and well thought-out app, and definitely something to get before heading off on a trip to a Spanish-speaking country or two. The fact that you can choose between European and Latin American Spanish makes it all the more useful, and being able to listen to phrases spoken at both normal and slower speeds knocks it out of the park. Exceptionally quick, thoughtful and thorough responses from the developers makes this app, and indeed the rest of the Pocketglow SpeakEasy series, well worth the modest asking price. I can highly recommend this app in preparation for your next international journey, or simply if you want to learn some useful phrases in a new language. Well done, Pocketglow team! Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Very good little app

*2012-12-27*

Excellent little language app I just wish they did German

### 5/5 — German

*2012-11-20*

Please make a speak easy German app.  I will buy it.  You have the best language apps on the internet.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Flash card functions inadequate

*2020-10-13*

You can’t flip back and forth on the flash cards. There’s no favorites even though it says to swipe one way and hold it doesn’t work. No reset. I feel I’m missing out a bit. Common phrases are complex.

### 1/5 — Can’t learn

*2020-06-04*

Won’t allow you to compare English vs Spanish? Can not ‘Learn’,  if I can’t compare ?

### 3/5 — Better free ones!!

*2016-09-13*

As good as this app may be dualingo is far better and it's free! I bought this believing it would be better but it's not, useful for the tourist and accessible offline but I can't learn using this app.

### 3/5 — Where is the audio on full version phrase packages?

*2012-11-17*

Overall, this is a good app.  But I paid for the full version and the audio for the IPad phrase packages is not there. Please update this to correct for the missing audio on the phrase packages. Note that this not a problem on the Iphone, only on the Ipad.
I would have given this 5 *'s but because of the missing audio, I gave it only 3 *'s

### 4/5 — Very Good

*2020-11-29*

It would get 5 stars if it said the word when the card appears.

### 4/5 — Tried several, chose SpeakEasy

*2017-06-21*

I am a non-Spanish speaker looking for an easy-to-use phrase book for an upcoming trip to Latin America. After trying out several free intro apps, I opted to purchase SpeakEasy for the good sound quality and easy interface.

### 4/5 — Excellent app. A+

*2013-05-31*

Well laid out, comprehensive and easy to use. 

My only suggestion is perhaps adding choice of female as well as male voice.

### 4/5 — Seeking Latin American Spanish

*2013-02-06*

I chose this (the full version) because it had a tab to switch to Latin American Spanish. 

Unfortunately I still get all the formal phrases.

The Latin American pronunciation, however, is very good!

### 4/5 — Spanish

*2013-01-05*

I would like to see a choice between male and female voices.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-08-30*

The translator would be great if it had LATAM.

## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-08-19*

This is the best I’ve used, i enjoy the fact it is continuously updated. 

I would suggest add formats to use for example: estaba + [so and so] cuando + [ so and so ]

I would also add voseo

That’s all other than that it’s great for my use.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-03-02*

I travel a lot and this teaches me what I tell it I need to know.  Love it.

### 5/5 — Spanish

*2022-04-29*

Great Spanish learning tool🇲🇽

### 5/5 — Well I like it

*2020-07-23*

A very competent and well thought out app. Makes learning Spanish quite enjoyable really.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2019-11-14*

This is the only learning app that I've found that includes phonetics which makes it so easy to learn to pronounce the words and phrases. Brilliant!

### 5/5 — Perfect for Travel

*2019-09-03*

This app has all of the phrases to learn while traveling or practicing vocab in general. I have used SpeakEasy for learning Italian, French, and German as well. Very simple and easy to use. I love the format!

### 5/5 — Great Starter

*2017-04-07*

Great starter to get you on your way. I purchased the whole package and I'm not disappointed at all. The diction and clarity of the speech sample is spot on!!!

### 5/5 — My "go to" Spanish app

*2017-02-04*

Easy to use. Works with me at my speed and level. No bells or whistles, just a straight forward approach.

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2016-10-04*

I've used Duolingo and podcasts to learn Spanish up to a decent standard. I can read well and listen well. The thing I am still really poor at is actually speaking. So I've found this app very useful to go through so I know what to say in everyday situations. I'm not sure this app will be that good for a beginner though unless you like learning through flash cards. I have not counted the number of cards but I think when they say "900 phrases" they are counting all the cards with single words of which there are many.
