It could tell me where my voice is wea *2025-06-09, version 4.0.14* I love it. ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-04-25, version 4.0.14* hope the app will still be free in the future ### 4/5 — Confusing Pricing Scheme *2025-04-20* This language learning app looks very promising. It focuses foremost on the methodology of comprehensible input (via audio, video, and text), and it provides a dictionary for reference and vocabulary building via flashcards as well. What’s not clear to me is the price. It seems to offer separate prices for each individual module, and I don’t know whether the user has the option of a single price that includes ALL the components and features of the app. No app should make it difficult for its users to figure out the pricing model. Are there subscription plans for the whole app based on monthly, quarterly, and annual billing? Is there a single-payment (lifetime) option? Or is the pricing strictly “a la carte” for each separate module? Don’t make us work hard to figure this out — especially considering that your app appears to be robust for language learners. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We have one subscription for iPad users "Unlimited Video Player" - this unlocks Netflix in the Woodpecker app letting you watch Netflix content (with a valid Netflix subscription). This is by month or annually. We have a separate monthly subscription in the Woodpecker iOS iPhone app "Woodpecker Tools". This unlocks flash cards, web browsing, and saved word exports. Legacy purchase options (while displayed on the app store page) are no longer for sale in in the app. Please send us a note with additional recommendations or feedback to support@woodpeckerlearning.com Thank you! ### 5/5 — good assistant for learning English *2025-04-16, version 4.0.13* There are lots of titles Can choose from that you interested ### 5/5 — Very good app *2025-04-04, version 4.0.13* My favourite app to practice English ### 5/5 — Danke *2025-03-16, version 4.0.12* Super 👍 ### 5/5 — Great app to improve English Spoken Skills *2025-03-03, version 4.0.12* I’ve been using this app and can notice my improvement. ### 5/5 — Wow I am learning english.

In the iPad you must go to Unlimited Video Player in the app to watch Netflix. You can't use the web browser in our app on an iPhone and get the subtitles and use our video player's language learning features on the Netflix website.

I uninstalled it immediately. ### 1/5 — Arabic language *2021-05-08, version 3.1.17* There is a language spoken by more than a billion people called Arabic. Why is the Arabic language not included in the list of languages ​​that I know and It has no subtitle? ### 2/5 — Not the best, not the worst *2025-11-27, version 4.1.1* I find woodpecker tools difficult to use. It is not natural or intuitive to save words or create flashcards. I also dislike the fact that the target language subtitles are beneath the video in a separate box and not on the video as if they were dual subtitles unfortunately I already paid for the years subscription. I canceled woodpecker tools because it just was not useful. The upside to this app is that you can play the videos from Netflix natively in the app on the iPad. This is an improvement over other tools in my language reactor where you have to use an extension on a desktop. ### 2/5 — Very good app but subtitles don't work any more *2025-03-08, version 4.0.12* The main feature of the app is repetition but it stopped working and the subtitles disappeared ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best apps *2026-04-24, version 4.1.1* Excellent for new English learners. ### 5/5 — Learning *2026-02-17, version 4.1.1* It's help me to be good listener and I learned how to start small talk even it’s improve my reading skills throughout using subtitles. ### 5/5 — A good experience *2026-02-10, version 4.1.1* Don’t waste your time, If you want to learn English, download this app! ### 5/5 — Free Good took for shadowing *2026-01-21, version 4.1.1* 5 Star ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-01-08, version 4.1.1* Great ### 5/5 — Good *2025-12-11, version 4.1.1* Perfect for learning E ### 5/5 — Wow I am learning english.
