LEARN LANGUAGES FAST: uTalk gets results because every word you hear is in your new language and you speak, listen and understand from the start. With free starter words in 150+ languages, you can try it risk-free. Score 100% in the games and you can unlock an extra topic for free. WHY UTALK WORKS: 1. LEARN FROM THE LOCALS: We record native speakers so you hear every word pronounced clearly. Mimic their pronunciation and compare your intonation with theirs. Practise until you get it right – you can even slow the audio down if it’s too fast. 2. USEFUL EVERYDAY WORDS AND PHRASES. Topics take around two to three hours to complete. But you can dip in for just five minutes at a time or longer. With 60+ topics, that’s a total of 180 hours of learning. 3. KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED: Check your scores on progress bars as you move through five progressively difficult games. To get full marks, you’ll have to know the words as well as your own language. WHO’S IT FOR? uTalk’s tried and trusted way to learn a new language has been developed over 30 years and is perfect for beginners. But its wide-ranging language is also invaluable for intermediates looking to improve their vocabulary and pronunciation.

Verdict
Igbo101 and uTalk both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Igbo101's written reviews are positive against 63% of uTalk's. Igbo101 also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). uTalk's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 8) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads 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. Igbo101 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and uTalk sells 92 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Igbo101 against 4.4 for uTalk. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: uTalk has 1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Igbo101's written reviews are positive against 63% of uTalk's.
Igbo101 ships an update every 2 months, uTalk monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
