Hey! We've been cooking this app for 7 straight years and we believe we can PROFOUNDLY CHANGE THE WAY LANGUAGES ARE TAUGHT. The best way to learn a foreign language is to immerse yourself in it by visiting the country, listening and talking to the native speakers. So we created the platform that gives the very same experience! OUR STORY 7 years ago, my father and I started learning a foreign language online but we soon realized there was something really wrong on the market. We learned several words and phrases but it was impossible to start speaking. Later on, we found a lot of people with the same problem and gave our entrepreneurial mindset, we set out a mission to create the platform that would truly give people a chance of learning a language. AFTER 7 YEARS of creating, testing and refining, HERE WE ARE! AVAILABLE LANGUAGES: · ENGLISH · SPANISH · FRENCH · ITALIAN · RUSSIAN with more than 5 intermediate languages. With Lingwing you will develop all necessary skills: · Speaking · Writing · Listening · Spelling and you’ll have time to improve your pronunciation. · Study in a chat-like interface · Native speakers will direct you · Every course is personalized by our algorithm · Our gamification tools will engage you · No need to memorize words or complex grammar, our algorithm lets you relax and focus on one task at a time. INSTANT RESULTS For us, the most important part is RESULTS. Just after a couple of days, you will realize you are already familiar with the chosen language and have the confidence to start speaking. TIME IS VITAL Imagine what you can do with our app within weeks! - Learn a new language from zero to a level when you will be able to read a newspaper, watch the news, understand your favourite music lyrics, listen and talk to native speakers.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lingwing at none against EWA's shown. Lingwing also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). EWA's advantage is ratings volume (196K vs 114) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. EWA sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Lingwing sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
EWA holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EWA has 196K ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of EWA's written reviews are positive against 72% of Lingwing's.
EWA ships an update weekly, Lingwing every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
