TLDR: Learn a new language from movies you love. That's really all you need to know…but If you have time to waste reading a characteristically lengthy app description designed for search optimization then, by all means, continue reading. Our bigtech overlords want to make sure you understand what's going to happen after you download our language learning app. So let's be abundantly clear. With our Nonsense you WILL NOT: • Get fluent in 30 days • Unscramble sentences • Get \"easy\" language examples • Increase your test scores in just 10 hours • Be harassed by colorful birds • Learn how to order coffee* What you WILL do is: • Immerse in Hollywood movie scenes • Understand words and grammar with in-context explanations • Hear many different voices and ways of saying things • Learn how native speakers actually use the language • Remember what you learn forever • Be able to quote Shrek in foreign language If enough people like the Nonsense app, we'll add more languages than all the other apps combined. Right now you can only learn English and Spanish (with French, Japanese, Portuguese, & Russian coming soon). You can watch all the content for free (with annoying ads). You can pay to get rid of ads plus get unlimited saved words and scenes. You can pay a ridiculous amount to get UHD video and spatial audio. *You'll eventually learn how to order coffee because we add new movies every week. You're bound to get a coffee ordering scene at some point. Make sure you sign up for push notifications if you want to stay in the loop for new movies and feature drops.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nonsense at 72% against Voki for Education's 28%. Nonsense also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (367 vs 73). Voki for Education's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
