Instructor overlay, presentation mode and chat are not well integrated. Look at Teams, or Zoom for UI inspiration. Can you offer more than a 15% discount ever please? ### 4/5 — Website is better than the app *2024-11-03, version 6.1.0* The app has issues and won’t access my account with repeated error while the website works fine. ### 2/5 — Nice platform, awful app *2024-07-17, version 6.1.0* It’s really not good. I don’t have time to listen all the UX failures here but one major one is that there are censored words (e.g. “WhatsApp”!) that the user is not informed of in any way, and if you have them in your message, the entire thing simply vanishes with no way to recover it as soon as you press send. Hilariously big oversight and just one example of many. ### 3/5 — Great learning experience, app improvements needed *2024-03-02* 1) Landscape iPad support 2) Video chat background support, blur at least 3) More organized UI. Instructor overlay, presentation mode and chat are not well integrated. Look at Teams, or Zoom for UI inspiration. ### 1/5 — No funciona *2023-10-18, version 6.1.0* En ipad no funciona ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-10-04, version 6.1.0* Doesn’t work anymore. Can’t start it ### 1/5 — Solid platform, awful app with questionable practices *2023-07-23* I really appreciate Verbling as a platform but this app is not good unfortunately. Additionally, it auto-deletes messages that contain certain words (like WhatsApp), which feels like a massive breach of privacy. I do not recommend sending any personal info over their messaging platform. ### 1/5 — App isn’t supported anymore *2023-04-14, version 6.1.0* Use the website. I contacted support about some missing app feature and they responded telling me that the app is no longer supported. I’m not sure why they haven’t removed it from the App Store. ### 3/5 — Almost… *2023-02-25, version 6.1.0* Verbling’s main service is connecting you with teacher and allowing video lessons. This part of the service is perfectly good. The teacher’s notes are accessible, words are saved and I’ve had no problem connecting to the video or scheduling lessons. But the app it self is kinda hot trash. I’m sure anyone using this just goes to the website once they have a teacher set up. The flash cards VERY frustratingly only allow you to practice five at a time. The text of the answers is cut off. You can’t switch orientation. Very basic functions of an app are missing. I like my teacher and am making progress in my learning a language from Verbling, but this app is annoyingly SO CLOSE to being useable in addition to that. ### 1/5 — It's not working *2023-01-25, version 6.1.0* Verblink is about live video class which this app simply cannot handle ### 1/5 — Crashes on opening with iPhone *2023-01-19, version 6.1.0* That’s about the size of it, every time I try to open it, it blows up. I’ve tried it before and after the most recent iPhone update so I think it’s independent of version. ### 1/5 — sur ipad pro *2023-01-16, version 6.1.0* impossible de saisir mot de passe et identifiant avec l application du coup j ai abandonné. j utilise Firefox, Brave,… pour me connecter mais il est tres difficile de faire ses cours car la selection pour ecrire est hasardeuse pour autant que la saisie disparaisse subitement. je recois trop de mails, notification. il faut trouver un bon equilibre svp je ne pense pas continuer malgres que le professeur soit tres bon c est dommage ### 1/5 — Terrible technology *2023-01-08, version 6.1.0* The selection of teachers is decent but the app technology is super clunky. And the video they require people to use has no background privacy feature - and they say it’s not needed (unlike zoom and teams and everyone else understands) ### 3/5 — Price *2022-07-22, version 6.1.0* I am having a problem. When I select to adjust the price, it is not possible to adjust. Can you fix this? ### 1/5 — Très mauvaise ergonomie *2022-01-21, version 6.1.0* Je travaille depuis quelques mois sur Verbling et, si ma prof de russe est super, l’appli est nullissime. C’est lent, c’est compliqué, ça plante. Je me demande vraiment si un développeur est venu travailler sur l’appli depuis 1974. Bref voilà. ### 1/5 — App crashes on iphone 8 *2022-01-01, version 6.1.0* App crashes immediately upon launch on iphone 8 ### 1/5 — useless application for iPad *2021-11-09, version 6.1.0* Please make your application working in horizontal setup. The vertical one makes it useless. ### 2/5 — Problem opening *2021-10-27, version 6.1.0* Can not open app on iPhone and Ipad 😣 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Teacher good; App not so good *2026-02-21, version 6.1.0* My Spanish teacher is excellent. But the app is hard to navigate. The icons are not intuitive, and the menu names are less than helpful. The interface appears to be from a previous millennium. You can spend a lot of time trying to schedule a new lesson. And it is not immediately obvious which time zone you are scheduling, which is a big problem if you travel. The audio quality makes learning a new language very difficult, although to be fair it might be in part due to my teacher’s microphone. ### 1/5 — Cannot login at all *2025-12-08, version 6.1.0* Tried all authentication method and not ably to login ### 1/5 — тварь *2025-06-22, version 6.1.0* отвратительное приложение сколько раз опаздывала на занятия из-за того что он вылетал или не заходил на сайт ### 1/5 — App has not been updated, too many issues *2025-06-05, version 6.1.0* I have been experiencing so many issues with the app, after buying lessons worth over €200. Many times the videos cut out for no reason, the worksheets don’t appear or cause the app the crash if the teacher tries to open them, teachers calendars don’t appear for me to book classes. Most teachers will ask you to meet them over zoom instead or google meets. The teacher I had paid classes for stopped using Verbling after I paid for classes, but Verbling do not give refunds. Now I have a lot of money in credits that’s I just can’t use. The customer service agent told me they are purposely not updating the app and I need to use the desktop version, which is not an option for me at the moment. So you sign up to classes here, get ready for all the issues that come with an out of date. Also I should mention, the desktop version is not any better, this platform as a whole is riddled with issues ### 1/5 — Crashes on Opening Every Time *2024-11-25, version 6.1.0* Useless. Literally. Can’t even open before crashing. I have since tried it on a new iPhone and new iOS version. It still soils itself every time I try to open the app. Hasn’t been updated in three years. Their competitors do better. Check them out first. ### 1/5 — If I could give 0 I would *2024-06-25, version 6.1.0* I scheduled at teacher at 12 by 12:30 i was convinced she went on a trip ### 1/5 — Están inaccesible con el lector de pantallas voice over que ni siquiera puedo entrar a la aplicación *2024-05-24, version 6.1.0* He intentado entrar en la aplicación de múltiples maneras. Es totalmente imposible. No tiene botones. Hay un texto donde aparece entrar con Google, entrar con Apple, etc. Es de todo imposible llegar a pulsar esas opciones. A partir de ahí como comprenderá, no puedo hacer nada más con ella. incluso la página web es muy complicada de manejar. Pediría que la modificara lo antes posible. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t works *2024-01-26, version 6.1.0* It doesn’t work on iPad… ### 1/5 — The worst way to learn languages for children *2024-01-05, version 6.1.0* Plenty of cancellations. Non refundable money. Low qualified teachers. My problems now are how to take my money back🙈 ### 1/5 — auful *2023-10-19, version 6.1.0* i cannot log in the app and i’m not able to use it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jesus Christ *2025-12-11, version 6.1.0* Is King ### 5/5 — Great Tutor Community *2025-02-06, version 6.1.0* Fantastic place to find language tutors and motivation. Great! ### 5/5 — Best language learning platform ever *2021-06-18, version 6.1.0* I’ve been trying to learn Spanish since high school, and I’ve never made much progress. With the AFFORDABLE and high quality 1-on-1 lessons provided by my Verbling teacher, I’ve made significant progress in a very short amount of time. I’m understanding Spanish on a deeper level than I’d ever even come close to reaching before. I HIGHLY recommend this app ### 5/5 — App dosen’t working at all *2020-09-27, version 5.9.4* at all:( ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-05-30, version 5.8.6* Effective and productive course so thank 2 the effort. The course content touches everything from reading, writing, listening and speaking. It was a great help to me. To recommend to whoever who is serious of improving its English. ### 5/5 — Great plataform *2020-05-13, version 5.8.6* Spanish teachers are great, they make you feel good all the time, and try to do their best; if there is a connection problem, you can get your money back. ### 5/5 — best app for business needs *2020-03-17, version 5.5.1* I’ve started using the app few weeks ago. It is amazing app. I made friends with a good teacher after few shots and now we are working on my goals 4 times per week ### 5/5 — That was THE BEST Spanish lesson! *2019-10-18, version 4.8.5* I have been trying to learn and speak Spanish for many (too many) years now with little success 😔 I’ve tried so many other methods of learning but I’m getting no where. One Spanish session with Israel Galeano from Costa Rica and he had me speaking and thinking in Spanish more than ever before! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 😃 ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2019-07-09, version 4.0.25* Brilliant ### 5/5 — highly recommend *2019-07-05, version 4.0.25* Ross is really excellent teacher, he always makes me feel good with him advices. Also he helped me to improve my all skills especially writing. I highly recommend him --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
