User reviews

Good to use

I found this app is very approachable and easy to use. The conversation is very practical and close to real life. There are some minor errors in using words, of course, it’s AI. I can’t ask it to be perfect all the time.

Genuinely helpful tool for heritage speakers

the app works surprisingly well and I appreciate the fact that it has southern dialect as well, which makes this app stand out from other resources that primarily target the northern dialect. Yes, sometimes the AI doesnt hear you properly despite the clear pronnounciation, but I also understand that the app is still new and so these small issues will be fixed with time. But it’s a great learning app!!

Response from developer

Hey, Thanks for your feedback! I'll make sure to keep working on that!

Good tool for training your vietnamese

A cool app and a great use of AI, pronunciation excercises along with listening sessions are very helpful.
The 5min conversation with be trau is always a blast.
Personnally to not have an actual person teaching you allows me to try and try again to get to the correct pronunciation without feeling pressed or nervous.
On that regard it would be great to be able to train on specific words before repeating the whole phrase and improve the voice recognition that tends to validate more easily slow speaking even with imperfections than recording that are more in rythm.

Overall a useful tool to train in southern vietnamese! Thank you

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I will make sure to work on those points!

disappointing

The app doesn’t hear you correctly. Even had native speakers try to speak the sentence, and it would still fail. Lots of Ai slop built into the app so there’s weird bugs and errors on pronunciation. Very expensive subscription plan, and the ai you speak to maxxes out after a short conversation. Would not recommend

Response from developer

Hi, I am really sorry about that. May I ask you what bugs and errors you encountered precisely ? So I can try to work on that. You should check the new version, you now have unlimited speaking time for the real-time conversation

Communication App from a Dev with Great Communication!

Polished, clean, easy to navigate. Those are expected from every app nowadays. And while it's clear there are areas that could use a bit more buff-and-shine, I'm confident it will be blemish-free in no time.

I've had this for less than a week and over that short time the improvements are striking! The dev(s) is very friendly and open to fielding user input directly. I noted something that I'd like to see implemented and before I knew it, I received a warm response that the feature was already on its way to production!

You don't get that sort of access dev teams often, so I'm sticking around. Not to mention, this app has *actually* helped my retention capability. To those chagrined about their own experience, all I can say is you get what you put in!
