It’s okay but too many premium! Disappointment

Why is there so much premium?

Talkpal

This app has been very helpful in my Spanish journey, it’s really nice to be able to talk to something that responds back with real answers yk and while the free version doesn’t have much the chat option is good ❤️

Get Rid of Call Mode Disclaimet

I admit I really am enjoying the call mode feature.

But lose the bluddy disclaimer. It's intruding on the experience having to read that all the time.

And, it offers zero value to you. Not to mention, only someone who pays must see it.

It's blocked for casual users.

Other than that, I enjoy it. The voice is pleasant, clear. It's fun.

Using Talkpal ai

I am trialling this ap for conversation practice, but occasionally it doesn’t send my recordings. I have tried to get help on this but there is nowhere to get help and the email address -which I found through asking on google - doesn’t work! Does anyone have any contact with them? Thankfully I haven’t paid anything yet

Cancelled my subscription without consent

Totally disgusting. This makes no sense. They offered a 12 month deal some weeks ago, I bought it, and then they raised the price and canceled my subscription without my consent. So if I want to resubscribe I need to pay more. Never seen such a thing elsewhere, the way Talkpal does this is totally disgusting.

Too Advanced

I specifically told it I am a beginner but the AI tutor was using words I didn’t know and it talks incredibly fast. I’m not kidding. I thought it would say simple things like bonjour and merci to start but it was talking to me like I’m from Paris and have been speaking French all my life. Saying things like “Bonjour, comment vas-tu aujourd’hui ? Qu’est-ce que tu aimes faire pendant ton temps libre ? J’aimerais apprendre à mieux te connaître. » I had no idea what it was saying. What a useless app! It’s supposed to teach me French, not show off how much French it knows. I deleted the app and canceled the free trial. Ah well, they got my name and email address which is probably what they really wanted anyway. I imagine they sell it.

A dream come true but language accent got corrupted

I dreamed about an app like this for years before it became a reality— so I was absolutely elated to discover it. The features are excellent, engaging and creative. Most importantly, as a legacy Cantonese speaker, it allowed me to interact verbally with AI tutors that had surprisingly more complexity than I’d previously experienced from language bots. I wish I could give it 10 stars, because it truly started to change my life. However, a month into using it as a Premium subscriber, the accent of the Cantonese tutors became corrupted and they sounded like Mandarin speakers trying to speak Cantonese unsuccessfully. As a result, I had to stop using the app. I hope Talkpal fixes this soon, as I would then not stop talking about this app!

Hello, Thank you so much for your early support and for sharing how much Talkpal originally meant to your Cantonese learning journey. We are genuinely sorry for how frustrating it must be to experience that sudden corruption in the Cantonese tutors' accents, especially as a Premium subscriber. Our team has noted your feedback and will work to improve our Cantonese content and pronunciation. We would greatly appreciate it if you reached out to us at support@talkpal.ai with more details. Thank you for helping us improve Talkpal! Best regards, Talkpal team.

Good but has flaws

Great app. I would like results to be stored and compared to previous attempts in the exercises. In the courses in dialogue there no way to stop it and review each sentence. Unless I’m missing something. Photo mode says you I have finished a photo but doesn’t retain the phrases used.

Péssimo

Não quero nem sei de onde saiu esta cobrança

Estamos empenhados em ajudá-lo e em garantir que isso seja resolvido o mais rápido possível. Atenciosamente, Equipe Talkpal

they got me

I should’ve known better. I wasn’t super impressed with the trail and thought I had cancelled it in time, but I was charged for a full year. Honestly I wouldn’t risk the download if you’re not independently wealthy. Having the default plan after a free trail be a full (non-refundable) year is predatory and gross.

Thank you

Niveau Débutant Norvégien agréable…

Et puis on passe d’un niveau où nous sommes assez aidés, on a le sentiment de bien progresser, puis arrive le niveau intermédiaire où l’exercice de discussion nous fait faire un énorme bon alors que nous n’étions pas prêts… plus aucune aide. Et la motivation s’efface… alors qu’il aurait suffit de juste moins aider ! À coup de petits mots, de vocabulaire utilisable, de plusieurs propositions et choisir la plus adaptée, etc. Les suggestions sont là mais : elles ne nous font pas travailler. Juste cliquer… un peu déçue du coup. 🥺

Bonjour, Nous vous remercions d'avoir partagé vos impressions avec nous et nous comprenons parfaitement votre frustration face à cette marche trop haute entre le niveau débutant et intermédiaire en norvégien. Votre remarque sur le manque d'aide progressive et sur le fonctionnement des suggestions est très pertinente pour éviter d'entacher votre motivation. Nous avons bien pris note de vos remarques afin d'améliorer l'expérience de progression. N'hésitez pas à nous écrire à support@talkpal.ai si vous avez d'autres suggestions ou si vous souhaitez que nous vous aidions davantage. Cordialement, L'équipe Talkpal.

Got got

I got charged for a year even though I cancelled. The app sucks. I deleted it even though I paid for it unknowingly. That should tell you something

Trail not good

The problem is is you’re only allowing me to test chat and there’s other functions that you’re expecting me to pay for them to get them. I don’t even know how they work. You should give a free trial of everything not just the chat because I have no idea. Do not know if the other things are good or not unless I try them.

Learned nothing

Learned nothing. This option is not for everyone !

No real customer support

I canceled my 14-day TalkPal AI trial after 10 days because I wasn’t using it as much as other tools for learning Italian. The app was okay, but its responses felt generic and didn’t adapt well to how I learn.

Despite canceling before the trial ended, I was charged $89.99. I contacted support and provided a screenshot of the charge, but the replies kept saying they couldn’t find a charge associated with my email address. I have yet to receive an explanation or a refund.

I would have rated the app itself two stars. The billing issue and lack of helpful support bring my overall rating to one star.

Great app

Parfait; large choix de langues ; peut-être ajouter la possibilité de créer une liste de vocabulaire

Swahili for Beginners

I’ve only just started learning but find really useful especially as I’m in Kenya

Better apps

I thought this would be an amazing app because it actually has European Portuguese but I was wrong. You only get 10 minutes of learning every day. Instead of being helpful, it only spoke to me in Portuguese and its really hard to have a conversation that doesn’t feel like talking to an AI. I wanted an app that I can learn what I want but I guess I will have to keep looking.

Very Good

I recommend it for the languages I’m using it for, but with one strong caveat: for whatever reason, the app is not geared towards people who are just learning a new language. It seems to be more for people who are familiar with the language (both in written and spoken forms) and don’t need explanations on some of the finer points of why and when to use certain things. That said, the app is excellent. It’s the 4-5 different language-learning app I’ve used. None of the previous have worked as well as Talkpal in the sense that I’m building my speaking and listening skills congruently.

Hi, Thank you so much for the excellent feedback and for sharing your experience with Talkpal! We are thrilled to hear that our app has helped you build your speaking and listening skills better than other platforms you've used. We also really appreciate your caveat regarding beginner-friendly explanations; we also offer beginner-friendly modes, such as Word, Sentence, and Dialogue, and we're always looking to expand them to additional languages. Do you have any specific suggestions for future features or tools that would help new learners better understand the finer nuances of a language? Thank you for choosing Talkpal to support your language journey! Best regards, Talkpal team.
