Most effective way to learn Spanish, it has helped me immensely. ### 5/5 — Amazing & indispensable *2017-03-19, version 3.0.4* I see a private tutor once a week for Spanish lessons and this app was recommended by her. I am so glad I purchased it!!! Everything I learn with her I can look up similar content practice speaking and hearing and listening. I'm very good at reading Spanish but that's not how you become good at being able to understand and speak a language. This app/content takes you to the next level of being able to understand what you hear and helps you understand (via repetition) how they use the language. Contrary to one reviewer who said said this was no Pimsleur, no it's not, it's better. Pimsleur/Rosetta Stone/Duolingo is memorizing words and phrases. This app not only helps with that but it teaches you how people really speak the language. You'll never learn a language fully if you don't immerse yourself in native speakers and native conversation. This app does just that! ### 5/5 — Lots of fun! *2016-12-22, version 3.0.4* The videos work great and I love to learn about new things from different parts of the world. ### 4/5 — Learn and enjoy *2016-11-22, version 3.0.4* Good way to learn to listen to the Spanish language but also become familiar with the variations in the language ### 5/5 — Great for someone who has studied the basics and wants to move on. *2016-10-10, version 3.0.4* This app is a great way to learn Spanish through conversations at the pace they are typically spoken. As someone who studied Spanish, but am no longer surrounded by any Spanish speakers, this app is not only saving my Spanish but improving it! This app is truly indispensable. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-08-29, version 3.0.4* Best way to learn a language. Quality app. ### 5/5 — Great *2016-02-08, version 3.0.4* I downloaded Yabla in order to do school assignments but find myself using it much more often than that. Repetition is the absolute key to learning/memorizing something and Yabla does a great job of offering that. Truly great app and website! ### 5/5 — Love it *2015-12-31, version 3.0.0* Yabla is a fantastic language learning tool. It's even better now with the app for on the go. I'm not sure if the app shows you the most recent videos watched as does the computer desktop version; can't find that in the menus but would be nice. The videos work great on the smartphone and I use it here more than on my computer. ### 4/5 — Please remove echo on slowed iOS videos *2015-09-06, version 2.0.4* When you play a video on slow mode on an iOS device there is an echo that can make it a little harder to hear. The echo doesn't occur on the laptop version. Very cool product overall. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2015-08-04, version 2.0.4* Love it! Highly recommended!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Portuguese *2024-06-08, version 4.4.4* Neither Brazilian nor European Portuguese available! ! ! ### 1/5 — Broooooo *2023-08-30* Get rid of this bro I can’t even get the point on the video after I watch it and maybe I’m just stupid but this stuff is literally impossible ### 1/5 — Awful. *2019-12-18, version 3.1.3* I honestly can not believe my Spanish teacher had the right to use my money to buy this garbage. This and her poor teaching are the reason why I am stopping after Spanish 3. Please fix your app if you want a better experience for those to come. ### 1/5 — No me gusta *2019-12-08, version 3.1.3* A mí mo me gusta Yabla. ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2018-11-30, version 3.1.3* Many of the videos are songs with translation. YouTube has much higher selection (Free of course) and better songs in my opinion. All videos are very short, most are one two or 3 min, some are 20 seconds. When you add the total video time it’s absurdly low. The idea behind Yabla is good but $10 per month subscription is WAY too expensive for the content. You don’t know this until you purchase the program. ### 2/5 — Controls are awkward *2024-07-19, version 4.4.4* Controls are very hardly placed. Slow and Loop are at bottom of screen, video play pause and back/forward are mid-screen, and the “close” button after clicking on a word is at very top of screen. I’d recommend moving controls to bottom of screen so they’re easier to press while holding phone in hand. Thanks for considering. Also, watched videos don’t sync between Computer and iOS versions. Please fix. Is there an easier way to access flash cards? Does the app even have flash cards… ### 3/5 — Controls are awkward *2024-07-17* Controls are very hardly placed. Slow and Loop are at bottom of screen, video play pause and back/forward are mid-screen, and the “close” button after clicking on a word is at very top of screen. I’d recommend moving controls to bottom of screen so they’re easier to press while holding phone in hand. Thanks for considering. ### 3/5 — Looping and video play problem *2024-07-06, version 4.4.4* I am seeing stills, not continuous video. And using "loop" command is not properly looping the segments. ### 3/5 — Love online but app not working *2019-04-05, version 3.1.3* I am unable to get videos to play. I have to use website. I like site but would like to access videos on the app ### 3/5 — Eh 😕 just typical conversation. *2017-01-05, version 3.0.4* It's ok.(just my opinion ) It's no Pimsleur. If you want to actually learn a language get Pimsleur or Fluenz. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — tech support *2023-02-28* I had a problem with my version of ipad. The techs kept working with me until they too found the same problem. this was on a beta version. they thanked me for pointing it out to them. I was impressed that for days we emailed back and forth, but they did not dismiss my issue, but struggled to recreate the issue for themselves so they could work on it. ### 5/5 — My favorite language learning tool *2023-02-25, version 4.2.9* Yabla has become my favorite way to learn Spanish over the last couple of years. Everything is video based, which makes me feel more involved than other systems, and the price for the anual subscription (linked on their website) is better than for most of the competitors. I use both the app and the browser version, each offering a few benefits over the other, but it is easy enough to switch back and forth. The key concept here is that you can interactively watch and rewatch videos of different sorts, with exercises in listening, speaking and recalling the various sentences. There are also vocab exercises and discussion forums for each video, often with staff chiming in to answer questions. Videos include custom Yabla content, music videos, TV shows and ads. I particularly enjoyed going through much of the Columbian version of The Wonder Years in bite sized pieces. The content is engaging and the repetition key to driving home the grammar until it sticks. Support is also awesome. ### 5/5 — Yabla where have you been? I have been looking for stuff like this for a long time. *2020-07-18, version 4.1* I wish that you could add other languages without having to pay full price for another one. I’m sure it’s worth it, but I only have so much time. So, no sense in double paying. ### 5/5 — Just what I need *2019-12-26, version 3.1.3* Thank you for a great service! Videos are interesting and good to gradually increase listening skills. Please get all episodes on Extra! ### 5/5 — Yabla is wonderful *2019-09-25, version 3.1.3* I have been using Yabla Spanish for several years and it has definitely helped me to improve my Spanish. The amount of awesome content that Yabla provides is incredible and new videos are posted all of the time. With well over 1,500 videos and I believe approaching over 2,000, Yabla is something I think all serious Spanish users should use on a daily basis. I wish more people knew how awesome Yabla is. You will find it awesome too! ¡Buena Suerte! ### 5/5 — Unique and effective *2018-05-21, version 3.1.3* This app is great for the intermediate to advanced Spanish speaker who wants exposure to many different accents and to be challenged by language in its raw form, spoken by native speakers. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — So enjoyable! *2017-09-26, version 3.0.8* Yabla Spanish has added a whole new dimension to my study of Spanish. It rounds out and complements the more formal aspects of language learning by providing real live people in real live situations. Also, the ability to slow down the speaker(s),to pause and backup is very helpful. Good job. Glad I found you. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! I love it. *2017-09-05, version 3.0.8* This app is extremely user-friendly. I love the real life videos which are a pleasant change from other, "dry" Spanish learning materials. ### 5/5 — Great way to learn a language *2017-07-22, version 3.0.7* This is a great way to learn a language and it's also not too expensive either. ### 5/5 — The perfect companion *2017-07-04, version 3.0.7* Howmany times you quit learning a language because of grammar complication or tedious spelling or extra unneeded explanation when you just want to jump into it and start to speak and understand. well this app is all about that. I know grammar and I don't want to remember it as I am not writing a thises in Spanish I just want to speak it with people who speak it and there where this app is indispensable as it takes you to life situations and make it fun to learn and you end up learning not overwhelmed with unnecessary information and a vicious circle of endless useless tests. You don't have to write it well or know the gramer behind it, most natives don't , you just make it as a second nature to you and that is how to speak a language. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
