App payante

On a même pas la possibilité de tester l’app qu’on nous impose un payement des le début . Et vos trucs de 3 free days trial là c’est la même chose puisqu’il faille ajouter une carte de débit

You HAVE to pay to even open the actual app:(

Wouldn’t let me open the app without having me to pay for a yearly subscription for 80 dollars

Response from developer

Hi! Just to clarify, you don’t have to pay $80 to try Verbi. We offer a 3-day free trial with access to the app, and you won’t be charged if you cancel before it ends. Our AI tutor has a real cost every time it’s used, so we unfortunately can’t offer unlimited access completely free, but we cover that cost during the trial so you can try Verbi before paying.

This scam

They took 49.99, I explained that I didn’t meant to keep the subscription and tried to explain it to apple but nothing.
Not an app to use and apple did what it does best. Taking money away.

Response from developer

We’re sorry about this. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled entirely by Apple, so we cannot approve or deny them ourselves. We enable refunds in cases like accidentally forgetting to cancel a trial, but Apple reviews the customer’s account and refund history and makes the final decision. Unfortunately, we have no control over their decision.

I like it

I wish it had Portugal Portuguese

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! 🇵🇹 European Portuguese is something we’d love to support in the future. Right now, our Portuguese curriculum focuses primarily on Brazilian Portuguese, but expanding regional options is definitely on our radar. Thanks for using Verbi!

Mauvais qualibrage

L’application ne fonctionne pas pour le mode conversation. Au lieu de me faire dire les mots en espagnol il me demande de les dire en français

Response from developer

Bonjour ! Il s’agit d’un problème connu causé par de rares hallucinations de l’IA, qui peut parfois utiliser la mauvaise langue. Cela se produit dans moins de 1 % des conversations. Nous avons déjà mis en place un correctif pour empêcher au maximum ce comportement. Merci de nous l’avoir signalé !

Aplicativo Inútil

vocês são muito burros de fazer um aplicativo que precisa preencher um monte de coisa pra só no final de tudo informar que só consegue fazer o uso de 3 dias grátis após inserir o cartão. a pessoa nem conhece o aplicativo pq já tem que inserir logo de cara os dados. vocês nem dão a chance de sequer conhecer o app que vocês demoraram pra criar. muito sem sentido. estão perdendo dinheiro

Response from developer

Entendemos seu ponto! Nosso tutor de IA gera um custo toda vez que é utilizado, então infelizmente não conseguimos oferecer o Verbi gratuitamente. Por isso, nós mesmos cobrimos o custo dos 3 dias de teste grátis, dando acesso aos recursos para que você possa experimentar e decidir se vale a pena antes de pagar.

roast regime does not work

it does not hear what i say at all. just one mistake and one ok, then it proceeds. rubbish.

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting this! Roast Mode should listen to and evaluate your responses normally, so this definitely isn’t the intended experience. We’re actively improving speech recognition and how responses are evaluated, especially across different accents and devices. We appreciate you flagging it!

?

I was expecting more from this app. I did a Spanish speaking lesson, I said exactly the same words it was showing in the list before start and it kept saying all the time that the words were wrong, and saying different words.

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting this! If you were saying the correct Spanish words and they were consistently being marked as incorrect or recognized as completely different words, that’s not the experience we want. We’re actively improving our speech recognition and pronunciation evaluation to make it more accurate and forgiving of different accents.

Good app but

I wish i could remove the vosotros part of learning. My family and friends do not use vosotros so it feels pointless to practice. Otherwise it would be great

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! This is a great suggestion. We know vosotros isn’t commonly used in many Spanish-speaking regions, especially Latin America. We’re working on giving learners more control over regional Spanish and the vocabulary and conjugations they practice. Thanks for helping us improve Verbi!

Very bad

Full of errors, instead of teaching me the language I want, it asks me to learn the one I know.

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting this! This is a known issue caused by rare AI hallucinations, where the tutor can occasionally switch languages incorrectly. It happens in less than 1% of conversations, and we’ve already implemented a fix to help prevent it from happening. We’re continuing to improve the AI!

Caro

Valor absurdo

Response from developer

Entendemos que o preço pode não fazer sentido para todos. Nosso tutor de IA gera custos toda vez que é utilizado, então infelizmente não conseguimos oferecer o Verbi gratuitamente. Por isso, cobrimos o custo de um teste grátis de 3 dias para que você possa experimentar os recursos antes de decidir se vale a pena assinar.

Response time is ridiculously slow

I really wanted to enjoy this app but a couple of things make it incredibly frustrating. AI model is not understanding the audio and the response time is RIDICULOUSLY slow. It shouldn’t take 10-15 seconds to respond and count against my 3 min time limit.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, and you’re absolutely right that 10–15 seconds is too long. We experienced a massive spike in users that temporarily overloaded our servers, causing unusually slow AI responses and issues with speaking lessons. We’ve since resolved the problem and response times should be much faster now. We’d love for you to give Verbi another try!

Slow and glitchy

This app is fun and engaging especially the speaking feature but it takes forever after giving a response in the speaking section. Not sure if it’s a bug or the AI model they use is extremely slow. If they made the app faster (and also cheaper) I would try again.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We recently experienced a massive spike in users that temporarily overloaded our servers, which caused slower AI responses and delays in speaking lessons. We’ve since resolved the issue and performance should be much faster now. We’d love for you to give Verbi another try, and we appreciate you flagging this!

so fun!

why is no one talking about this app?! i love how you can change the way your instructor talks to you. the mean setting it’s hilarious 😆 it’s actually correcting me and helping me learn faster. i feel like i’m talking to a native. i’m way more excited about learning a new language and being constant now!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re thrilled that you’re enjoying the different instructor personalities and finding the speaking practice helpful. Making language learning engaging while building real speaking confidence is exactly what we aim for. 💚

Italian Does Not Function

The concept is nice, but unfortunately in the speaking / interactive lessons, the words are never given in italian. eg it asks you "come si dice "ticket" in italiano" and you say "Biglino". It says something like "Quasi, la parola è giusta ma la pronuncia è "ticket", ripeti con me "ticket". It does not manage to fill in the words in italian. Also the voice recognition could be improved.

Maybe when these bugs are fixed....

Response from developer

Thanks for the detailed report! We’re aware of this bug, it was introduced in our latest update and can cause lessons to expect words in the wrong language. We’re actively working on a fix, as well as improvements to voice recognition. We hope you’ll give Verbi another try once it’s fixed!

Anglais

L’app aurait etait mieux si l’app aurait un système de traduction car tout est en anglais et on peut pas apprendre l’anglais si on est français

Response from developer

Merci pour votre retour ! 💜 Nous avons justement passé les deux derniers mois à travailler sur une grosse mise à jour qui permettra d’apprendre depuis n’importe quelle langue, et plus seulement depuis l’anglais. La nouvelle version devrait être disponible cette semaine ou la semaine prochaine. Nous espérons que vous lui donnerez une nouvelle chance ! 😊

É pago

Fazem vc perder tempo respondendo um monte de perguntas e no final falam que é pago.

Response from developer

Oi, Tiago! Sentimos que você tenha tido essa impressão. As perguntas iniciais servem para personalizar sua experiência de aprendizado, e não para esconder que existem opções pagas. De qualquer forma, agradecemos o feedback e vamos trabalhar para deixar isso mais claro desde o início!

Ruim e bagunçado

Todos os áudios soam mais robóticos que Google Tradutor. Os planos são a maior bagunça que já vi na minha vida - “Weekly Pro” e “Pro Weekly”, ambos com preços diferentes. O mau caráter que ter força a fazer um teste grátis de três dias mas só te dá a opção de assinar o plano anual, mesmo existindo planos mensais e semanais é bizarro.
Show more

Response from developer

Olá! Obrigado pelo feedback. Sentimos que sua experiência não tenha sido boa. Sobre os planos: oferecemos diferentes opções de assinatura, incluindo um plano semanal sem período de teste e um plano anual com 3 dias grátis antes da cobrança. O teste gratuito não gera nenhuma cobrança caso a assinatura seja cancelada antes do término. Também agradecemos o comentário sobre os áudios. Estamos constantemente melhorando as vozes e a experiência de conversação do Verbi para que soem cada vez mais naturais. Sobre o comentário de “mau caráter”, respeitamos sua opinião, mas não acreditamos que oferecer o teste grátis apenas no plano anual seja uma prática injusta. O objetivo do teste é justamente permitir que você experimente o Verbi antes de pagar, e oferecemos essa possibilidade gratuitamente por 3 dias, algo que muitas assinaturas nem sequer oferecem. Caso prefira não utilizar o teste, o plano semanal continua disponível como alternativa.

It’s a decent app

The app works good, but the AI constantly say that I’m saying wrong when I know that I’m not considering that I’ve been taking Spanish classes for a few years now and I know my pronunciation isn’t incorrect. The app also costs a good amount of money for what it’s worth when popular and just as good apps are cheaper if not free.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! The AI pronunciation detection isn’t perfect, and we’re actively working on improving cases where correct pronunciation is mistakenly flagged as incorrect. We also appreciate your feedback on the pricing. Verbi includes AI-powered speaking practice and other features that are costly to operate, but we’re always working to make the experience worth the price. Thanks for giving Verbi a try!

Great but…

I like that there’s different sections for concepts you want to master like Vocab or grammar. You can even have real conversations through text or speaking. However, and the biggest drawback, is there’s no formal teaching of conjugations or grammar rules. This is highly important when learning a language so you’re left with taking quizzes without even learning the foundational knowledge to answer correctly which is very frustrating. Overall, an okay language app

Response from developer

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! We completely understand your point. Right now, our grammar and conjugation sections are designed for practice through quizzes rather than formal lessons. We're actively working on dedicated grammar and conjugation courses that will teach the concepts step by step before asking you to practice them. We really appreciate your feedback, it helps us prioritize what to build next!
