★★★★ Rune Isherwood 5/8/2026 v32.36.0(1629819)
too many ads
★★★★ imam sigit 5/8/2026 v32.36.0(1629819)
this app helps me a lot, but I really hate this ad, actually I have no bothering with the ads, I just get bother when the ads is slot or gambling. if your ads is about gaming or something it's okay, but if your ads about slot, gambling, loan. those are annoying
★★★★ Meghan Cutler 5/7/2026 v32.36.0(1629819)
This is an incredible learning app and I enjoyed my free trial. however, the free version is horrific. The paywall ads that you have to get through are impossible. They are always advertising a game with no way to X out of it, it just constantly sends you to the app store. And even when I can get through an ad, the app will then time out, forcing me to reopen and be forced to go through the same debacle all over again. This app is completely inaccessible unless you want to pay for it. Shame.
★★★★ Layan Mohamed 5/6/2026 v32.36.0(1629819)
it isn't very good because at first it was amazing I learned German very well, after I reached the 9th unit they always told me to get premium and I always reject and when I get into lessons I have to see an add and after that I can't have a lesson without premium 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I hate this app
★★★★★ Raymond Duzuki 5/9/2026 v32.36.0(1629819)
this is amazing 👏
★★★★★ Machmudya Salsabila 5/9/2026 v32.36.0(1629819)
Doesnt let me take the Korean level placement test because of "connection issues" when my wifi is working just fine. So I ended up wasting my time starting from the beginning
★★★★★ Sklattles 5/8/2026 v32.37.0(1638475)
It *was* genuinly a good free language option, the lessons were easy to understand and well formatted. Until my premuim trial ran out and it cut off ALL Ability to practice, which is needed when learning any and all languages especially more difficult ones. A limit on how much you can practice would be better.
★★★★★ Alessio Zalamena (Pepsy) 5/6/2026 v32.37.0(1638475)
Learning Chinese. The A1 course is great, you actually learn things. A2 is gibberish. Lot of things without context, explanation. You could as well open a random Chinese grammar and go from there. Of course you get to a2 after you paid. Other courses may vary.
