### 1/5 — 经常断链

*2026-05-09*

服务器很拉垮，经常断连。体系化教学的部分很少，几乎只能当个ai口语陪练。但是你说一大堆，ai也只能给你其中一个问题或论点给出回应。

### 1/5 — Be aware! Scam to make you do payment after trial.

*2026-04-11*

I did the trial and want to cancel since it was not fit for me. After click to manage subcription, it led me to a website and ask me to put my email in so they can contact me. There is no button to click for cancellation. After 3 days trying now I had to pay the subscription. Now when you click to manage subscription you can cancel it. Keep in mind that you have to pay it before you are able to cancel it. Totally a scam to me!!!!!

**Developer response:** Hi~Luke Chen8999! It's concerning to hear about your experience with the subscription process. I truly appreciate you sharing your feedback, as it highlights areas where we can improve. I want to ensure that users like you have a clear and straightforward experience when managing subscriptions-If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to share them with us through Line (https://page.line.me/tokotutor) or email (support@tokotutor.com). Thanks again for your support!

### 4/5 — 新聞難度分級

*2026-04-02*

希望新聞可以有個標籤，可以分什麼高級中級跟初級之類的，以方便檢索難度。

**Developer response:** Hi girewgf~感謝您的建議！在新聞內容加上難度標籤(初級/中級/高級)這個想法很實用🙌 我們已將此建議記錄下來，會帶給產品團隊評估。我們不斷致力於改善產品，若您有任何回饋或其他建議，歡迎隨時於 Line (https://page.line.me/tokotutor) 或 email (support@tokotutor.com) 分享。感謝您選擇 Toko！☺️

### 2/5 — 學習者容易心累😓⋯⋯喜歡AI的發音

*2026-04-01*

回饋裡有很多很挑剔的糾正 ，容易讓學習者很快感覺心累..Ai表現中規中矩 但缺乏個性 無法讓人驚豔…課程有對話與反覆練習還不錯，語音發音清楚。

**Developer response:** Hi Doll silver~ 感謝您的評論！關於發音糾正過於嚴格的部分，我們理解這樣容易讓學習者感到挫折，我們已記錄下來並會反映給團隊，研究如何在鼓勵與糾正之間取得更好的平衡 😊關於 AI 個性的部分也收到了，這是我們持續努力的方向！很高興對話課程和語音清晰度有讓您滿意 ☺️，若您有任何回饋或其他建議，歡迎隨時於 Line (https://page.line.me/tokotutor) 或 email (support@tokotutor.com) 分享。感謝您選擇 Toko！☺️
