Another subscription…

Look I get it that apps are always trying to make money for their hard work. But I don’t even bother if an app forces the immediate subscription onto me even if it’s a free trial cause now I have to pay attention before it charges me.

Look I would love to try this app out if it has a proper you get to experience the first couple lessons or features before I hand my card over to you. Because words don’t mean anything if I can’t experience it personally.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback. We completely understand your concern. The main feature of Verbi is AI-powered speaking practice, and every conversation has a significant cost for us to provide. Because of that, we aren't able to offer unlimited free usage. Instead, we offer a free trial so you can experience the full app before deciding whether it's right for you. We also understand that people sometimes forget to cancel a trial. If that happens, we've enabled refunds through Apple for eligible cases, so users aren't left without options. If you decide to give Verbi a try and your experience is different from what you expected, we'd love to hear your thoughts. And if this clears up your concerns, we'd really appreciate it if you'd consider updating or removing your review, it would mean a lot to our small team.

The app worked at first

The app worked when i first downloaded it. It spoke to me in Italian, which is what I wanted. And every time after that it just spoken in English and I couldn’t get it to speak to me in Italian even after deleting the app and re-downloading it again, it still doesn’t work. It looks like a great app if it could function properly. I would’ve been happy to pay for it but the settings need to be updated so you can customise it better. It doesn’t hold many vocabulary words which is super annoying. The idea of the features are great. But it definitely needs A LOT of improvement before anyone should pay the asking price (which is just ridiculous) for an app that doesn’t function well.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! We think there may have been some confusion caused by a recent update to the curriculum. In the latest version, the AI intentionally speaks in English during the first two beginner modules. We received a lot of feedback from new learners that jumping straight into the target language was overwhelming, so we added a gentler introduction. After the second module, the lessons are conducted entirely in the language you're learning. If you'd prefer to start speaking Italian right away, you can also use our Custom Scenarios feature, where you can have conversations with the AI in Italian from the very beginning. We really appreciate your comments about vocabulary and customization as well, those are both areas we're actively improving. Thanks again for giving Verbi a try, and we hope you'll consider trying the latest version!

We’re sorry you had a negative experience. Could you please explain what went wrong or what you disliked about the app? Your feedback would help us understand the issue and improve Verbi.

Péssimo!

Você é obrigado a fazer um teste grátis para poder usar o aplicativo, não é enviado aviso de término do período grátis e eles cobram o maior valor de pacote que tem! Não caiam nesse golpe!

Response from developer

Olá, Ana Luiza. Como explicamos no e-mail enviado, verificamos em nosso sistema que os lembretes sobre o término do período gratuito foram enviados por e-mail e por notificação antes da cobrança. Também não cobramos um valor diferente do apresentado: todos os pagamentos e cobranças são processados diretamente pela Apple. Já enviamos as instruções para solicitar o reembolso pela Apple, mas ainda não recebemos uma resposta sua. Permanecemos disponíveis por e-mail para ajudar no que for necessário.

Love it

This app is so interactive, really love it!

Response from developer

Thanks so much! We’re really happy to hear you’re enjoying Verbi and finding it interactive 💚

No good time

I really like the concept of this app, but the voice recognition is too inconsistent. I often pronounce a word the same way twice. The first time, it tells me it’s incorrect, but when I repeat the exact same pronunciation, it suddenly accepts it as correct. Because of this, I waste most of the 3-minute voice practice repeating words that I already pronounced correctly. As a result, I can’t finish the lesson or unlock the next level. The 3-minute limit is simply not enough when the app keeps asking you to repeat the same words. I hope the developers improve the voice recognition and either extend or remove the time limit.

Response from developer

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for giving Verbi a try. You’re right that voice recognition needs to feel consistent, especially when lessons are timed. We’re actively improving pronunciation detection so correct answers are recognized more reliably, and we’re also reviewing the 3-minute limit so users don’t lose progress because of repeated attempts. We really appreciate you explaining the issue clearly, it helps us make Verbi better.

Waste of time

Stürzt die ganze Zeit ab, hat die ganze Zeit Verbindung ble, und die Lektionen können nicht abgeschlossen werden, weil mitten in der Lektion keine Reaktion der mehr kommt

Response from developer

Hallo mo#, es tut uns wirklich leid, dass die App bei dir abgestürzt ist und Lektionen nicht abgeschlossen werden konnten. Das sollte natürlich nicht passieren. Wir haben Verbesserungen an der Stabilität und Verbindung vorgenommen, und die neueste Version sollte diese Probleme beheben. Bitte aktualisiere die App und schreib uns gerne an [support@appverbi.com](mailto:support@appverbi.com), falls weiterhin etwas nicht funktioniert. Danke für dein Feedback.

Not ready

Clearly vibe coded for the most part and not ready for release. The voice chat is great especially when it’s on “mean” mode but the listening mode is, quite simply, surprisingly bad. I still think it will be better than Duolingo but they have some work to do.

Response from developer

Hi Giozue, thank you for the honest feedback. We’re glad you liked the voice chat and “mean” mode, but we hear you on listening mode not being where it needs to be yet. We’re actively improving that part of the app so it feels more accurate, polished, and ready for daily use. We appreciate you seeing the potential in Verbi, and we’ll keep working hard to make it better.

APP Fine—Won’t Open

I enjoy using this app, and it does some things other apps don’t do. But you very time ai try to open it after the first time it’s been opened, it just gives me a black white screen. Crashed, or something?

Response from developer

Hi Pablo, thank you for the kind words and we’re really sorry about the black/white screen issue. We’ve fixed this, and the newest version of Verbi should address the issue where the app would show a blank screen after reopening. Please update the app and let us know at support@appverbi.com if it still happens. Thanks for your patience!

Great show of AI capacities but…

Still too many errors in my opinion, there were obvious right answers flagged as wrong, and some sentences that should have been in my target languages but were in English instead.
Some debugging is still needed for this price.

Response from developer

Hi Nakuyo, thank you for the honest feedback. We’re glad you see the potential, but we completely understand that incorrect answers or English sentences appearing in the target language can be frustrating. We’re actively debugging and improving these issues, and feedback like this helps us find edge cases faster. If you’re open to it, please email us at support@appverbi.com with the language and examples you saw so we can investigate and fix them.

Scam

No content, app crash, keep your money

Response from developer

Hi Maxime, we’re sorry to hear this. Could you clarify what you mean by “no content”? Verbi includes lessons and AI practice, so we’d like to understand what you were seeing on your end. Also, if the app crashed, please email us at support@appverbi.com so we can investigate and help fix this as soon as possible.

Muitos bugs

Tem uma proposta interessante, mas precisa melhorar os bugs. Você colocar para aprender, ele fica carregando muito tempo para você fazer a lição, não importa a rede que use.

Response from developer

Olá Priscilla, obrigado pelo feedback. Sentimos muito pela experiência. Estamos trabalhando para melhorar o tempo de carregamento das lições e corrigir esses problemas. Se puder, envie mais detalhes para support@appverbi.com para conseguirmos investigar melhor no seu caso.

3mil reais por ano num app?

Por 300 reais por mês eu faço um curso presencial na aliança francesa

Response from developer

Olá, obrigado pelo feedback. Também oferecemos o plano anual, que sai mais de 80% mais barato do que isso. Nosso objetivo é tornar o Verbi mais acessível para quem quer praticar idiomas com IA, e vamos continuar melhorando a forma como mostramos os planos no app.

Not free

Before you can even see if the app is for you, or worth it, they make it so you absolutely cannot use it unless you agree to a free 7 day trial and they have your card info. I went in expecting to be able to learn, and just immediately ended up deleting it afterwards, seeing as how it didn’t let me proceed without agreeing .

Response from developer

Hi Bababoos, we totally understand your concern. Verbi uses AI voice lessons and learning tools, which create real costs for us every time someone uses the app. That’s why we offer a 7-day free trial, we cover those costs during the trial so users can fully try the app before paying. You can use Verbi free for 7 days and cancel anytime before being charged. Since you didn’t get a chance to actually try the app, we’d really appreciate it if you could consider removing this review and giving Verbi a try first. If you have any questions, you can reach us at support@appverbi.com

Doesn‘t work

I have downloaded the app a few days ago and it just doesn’t work. No matter how many times i try to make an account it just tells me „something went wrong, we‘ve been notified and are working on a fix“. I am deeply sad as I was excited to use the app because I saw it on social media and love the concept by itself.

Response from developer

Hi, we’re really sorry about this. Please email us at support@appverbi.com so we can help look into what’s going wrong with your account creation. We’d love to get this fixed for you so you can try Verbi properly.

Question

Genuine question will you be adding Arabic to the languages u can learn? Just a question I had.

Response from developer

Thanks for asking! Arabic is definitely a language we’re planning to add soon. We really appreciate you sharing your interest, and we’re excited to keep expanding the languages available in Verbi. If you email us at support@appverbi.com we can email you when we add it :)

Voice lessons error

i was wanted to use for voice lessons but there was an error I was connecting to wifi but keep showing connection error please try again

Response from developer

Hi jounyhal, sorry about that! Voice lessons require a stable connection, but we understand it can be frustrating when an error appears even while connected to Wi-Fi. We’re looking into this and working to improve reliability. Please try closing and reopening the app, and if it still happens, contact us at support@appverbi.com

Cool

Very good and very amazing

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We’re really happy to hear you’re enjoying Verbi.

forced to pay

i kept hearing a lot of good things about this app but once i got it and tried to work it i was forced into having to do a free trial i know a lot of apps that have you pay as well but atleast they give you an option to have a free mode and not pay just to use the app i think i would’ve liked and used the app if there was a way to use the app without having a free trial or paying

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing this feedback. We completely understand where you’re coming from. Verbi does have costs to run, especially with the AI voice practice and personalized learning features, which is why we use a free trial instead of a fully free mode right now. You can determine if you enjoy the app in those 3 days with no strings attached. A 1 star review significantly affect us, i would appreciate if you rethink it since it seems like you didn't try the app. That said, we’re always listening and will keep this in mind as we think about making the app more accessible in the future.

Actually Amazing

I don’t even write reviews but I had to say that I just got this like 20 minutes ago, but the swipe feature for new vocab literally takes away all anxiety stemming from the desire to swipe. And I just did a crossword (that it generated based on the new words it introduced to me— which said I knew and wanted to know), and idk why it works so well but I’m immediately amazed at how successful I ACTUALLY am at eventually deciphering the words I literally JUST learned. I’m just getting started. Looks like an app that is ACTUALLY WORTH PAYING FOR

Response from developer

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It honestly means a lot to us. We are really happy to hear the vocab swipe feature and crossword helped make things feel less stressful and more fun. That’s exactly the kind of experience we hoped Verbi could create. Hope you keep enjoying it, and thanks again for the kind words!
