TL;DR: 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 Learn 39 languages for free from your favorite movies: English, Spanish (Latin America), Spanish (Spain), French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Chinese (Simplified), Italian, Japanese, Korean, Czech, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Slovak, Greek, Romanian, Croatian, Bulgarian, Slovenian, Lithuanian, Serbian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Georgian, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Urdu, Thai, Farsi, Hebrew and Arabic.

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 movie and feature drops.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Converly at none against Nonsense's shown. Nonsense's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Nonsense sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Converly sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nonsense holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 416 and 161 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Nonsense's written reviews are positive against 80% of Converly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nonsense ships an update every 4 weeks, Converly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
