ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Learn Swedish (Beginners) holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Swedish (Beginners) has 42 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Lingoal's written reviews are positive against 86% of Learn Swedish (Beginners)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lingoal ships an update every 2 months, Learn Swedish (Beginners) monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
