They market it to make it appear you are having fluid back and forth conversations with an AI avatar. In reality there is no AI charscter talking to you. It tells you to text or talk. I cannot see a way to actually write your answers and when you talk it cant hear / understand you so you have to repeat the same answers again and again and just move on. It also markets sentance structure but I have yet to see it. ### 3/5 — Audio doesn’t work *2026-07-23, version 2.0.9* The audio in this app isn’t working for me. There is no sound when I click on the words ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-07-12, version 2.0.8* What I thought I was buying and what I got are two different things, with no seven day trial period I happily paid $200 a year for Langua but your app Stella is way too misleading ### 4/5 — Good but sign is not working ,.. adios Stella *2026-07-11, version 2.0.8* Good but sign is not working ,.. adios Stella ### 1/5 — Microphone problems *2026-07-11, version 2.0.8* AI is constantly confused I’m ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-07-07, version 2.0.8* I see ads for Stella on facebook with activities I'd like to do but then can't find them in the app on my phone. Frustrating ### 1/5 — How to cancel the subscription? *2026-07-05, version 2.0.8* Cancel ### 2/5 — Great content but slow and clunky *2026-07-02, version 2.0.8* I was excited to try this app after having used others (Speak, Jumpspeak, Praktika) but man-it’s just not usable as it is today. I don’t know what the issue is but this runs way too slow, as in it takes several seconds to “hear” and acknowledge my spoken response. And it frequently mishears my answer, like 50% of the time. Other apps I’ve tried have no such issues. It’s too bad because I do like the content and lesson plans, but I don’t have time to wrestle an unresponsive app. ### 2/5 — Really Slow AI *2026-06-25* This hardly seems like a true AI app. Between the annoying and continual background music, spends more time “thinking” than actually helping you. And the AI assessment of your conversation often cannot detect a particular word you have pronounced correctly repeatedly, giving you a constant 80% correct because the word will not register. I should not have paid for it. ### 1/5 — Keine drei Tage testen möglich *2026-06-24* Es werden sofort 8,99€ abgebucht und man bekommt sie auch nicht wieder, wenn man es nur drei Tage testet, Vorsicht!!!! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-06-24, version 2.0.7* Did not perform as advertised. Very disappointed ### 1/5 — scam *2026-06-22, version 2.0.7* it gave me %85 off 59.99 for 29.99 then its charged me 59.99 ### 1/5 — Tried to take money without my consent *2026-06-21, version 2.0.7* They are trying to take money£29.99 from my account. ### 1/5 — Keep getting errors *2026-06-16, version 2.0.6* Keep getting errors when I’m trying to use the app. Honestly it’s an amazing app when it works! ### 2/5 — App doesn’t understand Spanish. *2026-06-16, version 2.0.6* I tried speaking to this app, and it doesn’t understand my Spanish when Google Translate and grok and chat GPT understand what I’m saying. What gives? ### 1/5 — Glitching *2026-06-14, version 2.0.6* App is constantly glitching, can’t even get through the first lesson ### 1/5 — 👎👎 *2026-06-05, version 2.0.5* This app is nothing like the add. Total bait and switch ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — doesn’t work most of the time *2026-08-06, version 2.1.0* really bad programing never works doesn’t understand what you are saying very disappointed ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-04, version 2.1.0* Sucks ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-02, version 2.1.0* Absolutely terrible! ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work *2026-07-29, version 2.1.0* I purchased the yearly plan for $29.99 and the app doesn’t even work. Everytime I tried to open this app and use it . It says network error. I would like a refund. ### 1/5 — They need to improve *2026-07-22, version 2.0.9* I purchased this through my App Store because it looked like a great idea but when actually I downloaded it when you go to speak to it, you’re speaking to it 1 million times saying exactly what they’re saying and it can’t hear you. When you go to do the sentences it skips the first word so it marks it wrong and so it’s like you have to repeat it and holler at it. It’s not worth your money. ### 1/5 — completely unlike the advertisement *2026-07-21, version 2.0.9* So many glitches, and they make it out that you're gonna be talking to an AI animated person doesn't happen total rip off don't buy it ### 1/5 — Really Slow AI *2026-07-20, version 2.0.9* This hardly seems like a true AI app. Between the annoying and continual background music, spends more time “thinking” than actually helping you. And the AI assessment of your conversation often cannot detect a particular word you have pronounced correctly repeatedly, giving you a constant 80% correct because the word will not register. I should not have paid for it. ### 1/5 — Nul . Voix de robot . *2026-07-20* C’est nul. La voix est une voix robotique. Je suis française , j’apprends l’espagnol et la traduction est en anglais. ### 1/5 — Network error *2026-07-15, version 2.0.9* Network connection unstable, no matter even it’s on WiFi or strong cellular ### 1/5 — AI is not visually interactive *2026-07-14, version 2.0.9* Advertisement is misleading. There is not avatar to provide interactive communication and learning, only audio or text. Very disappointing! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just Starting with Stella *2026-06-27, version 2.0.7* I’ve just launched this app and it looks like it will help significantly to become more successful with learning Spanish. ### 5/5 — Ac *2026-05-21, version 2.0.4* Fantastic app ### 5/5 — Migdenis *2026-04-23, version 2.0.1* Sanchez ### 5/5 — Falsche Sprache *2026-02-22* Warum wird es nicht auf deutsch angezeigt und gesprochen, sondern auf Englisch?
