Nên cho chọn nhiều ngôn ngữ giao diện thay vì chỉ 2 ngôn ngữ , mình muốn quen mặt chữ ngôn ngữ mình học mà toko chỉ có 2 ( cho tiếng mẹ đẻ và tiếng anh ) . Tôi muốn giao diện tiếng trung mà bây giờ không thể chỉnh lại. ### 5/5 — มาเรียนรู้ *2026-01-05, version 1.1.897* สิ่งนี้ ### 5/5 — Về việc tư vấn *2026-01-05, version 1.1.897* Nhanh chóng và thực tế ### 5/5 — Tốt *2026-01-05, version 1.1.897* app tương đối hiểu tâm lý người dùng ### 5/5 — ดีมาก *2026-01-05, version 1.1.897* ดีค่ะ ### 5/5 — ฝึกเรียน *2026-01-03, version 1.1.897* ฝึกเรียนรู้ ### 5/5 — เป็นความช่วยเหลือที่ต้องการ *2026-01-02, version 1.1.897* ชอบมากอยากมีความรู้เรื่องภาษา ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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。 **Developer response:** Hi Colin722，很抱歉你遇到頻繁斷線與伺服器連線不穩的狀況，這確實會大幅影響使用體驗。請您提供你的所在地區、Toko支援ID及螢幕錄影給我們，這會幫助我們更快定位原因。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！☺️ ### 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! ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-02-13* I requested a cancellation a year ago, but they charged me again a year later. **Developer response:** Hi, just a reminder that if a subscription isn’t cancelled before the renewal date, it will automatically be charged for the next year. Please make sure to cancel through your account settings if you no longer wish to continue.

Tôi không có nhu cầu cũng như không có ý định gia hạn gói dịch vụ này, tuy nhiên hệ thống vẫn tự động trừ phí mà không có thông báo rõ ràng trước đó. Nhưng bên app ko giải quyết vấn đề cho tôi. ### 1/5 — quá tệ *2025-12-08, version 1.1.892* chi phí quá mắc, với mình đây là 1 số tiền lớn với 1 người còn đi học, vì quên hủy đăng ký mà mình mất 1 số tiền với ứng dụng không mấy đặc biệt bà cũng không đáp ứng nhu cầu mình mong muốn, việc nhầm lẫn không được các bên hỗ trợ, nhà phát triển có thể nào hỗ trợ người dùng trong trường hợp ngoài mong muốn này không ### 1/5 — Quá tệ *2025-09-09, version 1.1.847* Quá tệ, lừa đảo ### 1/5 — What…? *2025-09-03* So, my primary language is English and I want to learn Korean. However, it keeps trying to teach me English unless I change the whole app to Korean, then I can’t understand half of it. Was this whole app made with AI? Are there actual developers to this? **Developer response:** Hi ZephaReph~Thank you for your feedback! At the moment, Toko doesn’t support learning Korean.

If you don’t continue to pay, any functionality related to your previous work will be blocked.
