Reviewing just the app
The program itself is fantastic! Reviewing the app, it’s so painfully slow and glitchy. So so slow. Really needs a big update to stay on par with every other app. Support is quick to reply but issues have persisted.
Program is great, app is hit or miss. Still worth it!
I love the program and the concept, it’s been awesome! The app has been buggy. But it works enough of the time to use and enjoy.
Doesn’t work since new update
I can’t open the app at all since the update. It says critical error.
Terrible App
The app is not working well. It opens for 2 seconds then crashes. Or it won’t load any phrases.
Bonjour 👨🎨🥖🇫🇷
Love this app totally recommend for learning any languages
Bonjour
I am a Frenchaholic so thank you TalkBox.Mom I can now converse happily in French I LOVE YOU
Great concept, app needs updating
I love the talk box mom concept and book so much!! I also love the app when it works, it seems buggy and some things don’t load sometimes. Please update your app!
Good program, awful app
This app is by far the most frustrating app I have ever used. Any other app that was this buggy I would have quit using by now. But the program itself is good and so the app stays. It plays the wrong phrases when you tap. It doesn’t play some phrases at all. It continues to the next phrase when autoplay is turned off. It doesn’t pause when you press pause. It has way too many different menus to navigate to get to what you want, and it’s remarkably slow in loading them. Marking a box as completed takes way too much redundant tapping and still doesn’t properly work half the time. On a daily basis, often multiple times a day, I have to kill and restart the app because it has frozen or glitched enough to be unusable. If there were any similar language programs available, I’d use them for a better app. But there aren’t similar programs and this program is very good, so I tolerate the awful app.

Flat out AWESOME!!!
Ok I’ll start right from the top this app is amazing for learning any language. It’ll give you pre-recorded phrases to practice the pronunciation of the specific words you want to learn. It’ll give even has books you can use on the app or just order a copy online!!!! I would definitely recommend this app is you have an interest in learning more about a few phrases just so you can visit a foreign country and he able to strike up a conversation. It’s really very easy to practice these phrases and stuff. Give it a go!! You’ll be an expert in no time!!!

Flat out AWESOME!!!
Ok, I’m a French-a-holic I love all things French the food the scenery the language the culture, just about EVERYTHING!!! And I really wanted to take a French class but being homeschooled is where I have too many classes anyway! So when my mom was like “hey is this app something you want?” I was all “🫢😱🤩🥳😛😍🙂🥲🥹😁😊☺️😘😇😌!!!!!!!!!”
Literally Talkbox is the #1 language practice app that I would recommend. It has daily updates and routines, not to mention it has pronunciation so that you don’t have to just figure it out yourself! (I had an app like that once and it sucked) I can literally say SOOOO many more French phrases and saying now thanks to the Talkbox app! Thank uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… I love it so much and I don’t know what I would do without it! ✌️ (btw anyone who is a swiftie is an immediate friend of mine and is totally allowed in my friends circle)

Just the App
I purchased just the book and then downloaded the app. It’s basically not functional. I have everything else off on my phone and it still takes 30+ seconds to respond to anything, if it ever does. To use the search bar to look for phrases, you have to literally select another tab (like books) and then go back to the phrases tab for it to actually initiate a search. I’m not sure what the point of the app is because I can’t actually see what it is designed to do in action. I am really hoping for some fixes because this is so disappointing.

Program is amazing the app leaves a lot to be desired
I love this program and the content on the app is fantastic, but my app rarely works. If I try to click on a word in my practiced or practicing list it often doesn’t play the right word and no matter what I do it won’t play the word I’ve selected. The search feature also is not comprehensive.
I would love to have an app that actually works most of the time.

So incredibly slow
This app hasn’t been updated in a year. It is so incredibly slow it’s annoying. When trying to just do a few min of language a day, it’s almost impossible to use because it won’t load the phrases. I’m talking it takes several minutes to load the phrases so you can practice listening. This app could absolutely be amazing but it needs help. I feel like the app is a necessity with the monthly boxes so you can listen and learn proper pronunciation, but with the app taking so long to load it really makes it a drag.

Best Language Learning Program
We love this immersion program! It’s better than any other program we have tried!! It make learning Korean fun and we are actually learning to speak to each other from day 1!
Great program, BUGGY app
*I reached out to them over four weeks ago with a detailed breakdown of all of this feedback with screenshots and device specs and I’m hopeful that there will be an update to this app soon. This program deserves a more refined companion app that this current version.*
This review is strictly for the app, which has been frustrating. There are lots of little annoying things that add up to it just being a resource I don’t want to use.
1. Dead hyperlinks that just don’t go anywhere OR outdated info like referencing the Facebook group that doesn’t exist anymore.
2. A lot of the pdf “Extras” are formatted as pdf shortcuts, which just won’t open on the app. Spinning circle of death. Unusable.
3. I’m not able to scroll properly and get “trapped” on SO many sections. I seriously cannot get through 3/4 of the articles because it won’t let me scroll down! Maddening!!!! This is the main reason I rage quit out of this app.
4. Throughout The Total Success Guide, it seems like there’s accidentally a lot of blank space at the bottom of the pages (at least the ones where I can actually scroll all the way through). This is really just a poor design issue that makes the app feel less polished.
5. You have to go in and hit complete on every single component of the box, like all of the sub challenges and even the extras tab, to be able to mark off the box or a challenge as complete. Really annoying.
Again, the program is great and the app does get many things right. I’m reviewing this as a busy mom of three who love apps that work as intended and actually bring additional value to the programs that they claim to supplement.
Please please please fix these bugs! I WANT to love this app!

Need to work on bugs
Will play other random phrases when I try to play audio files.
Please make search available!
Absolutely love this program, and I have recommended it several friends and family. The app is fantastic, and it is so helpful being able to listen to the native speaker audio. However, it would be amazing to be able to search for a word or phrase. Sometimes I know exactly what I need to say in a given situation, but I have no idea where in the app to look for it. If this could be made a function, that would greatly increase the efficacy.

Could be better
So I think the app is great but it would be even better if there was an option to search the book phrases without having to search through the entire app! I get so frustrated doing that I don’t even want to use it anymore. And it’s such a useful app! It would be nice to search for a word or phrase and see what matches so I can use the appropriate one. Please add that feature.

Highly Recommend!
This program is phenomenal! I’m love recommending this to all my friends and family. If you ever had thoughts you were past the language learning stage think again! Talk box.mom makes the process so easy for EVERYONE in the family and it works. The app is easy to use and makes looking up phrases on the go a breeze. The whole team is so kind and will help you along any step of the way!
