the free one just first category,better learn it from c drama or fb
the apps audio stops working when using Android Auto after about 5 min. it'll keep playing the dialog via in screen text but all audio functions stop
you cant now what are you paying for, because everything is behind paywall.

Everything locked behind the paywall
Tried using it, but some of the audio sounds AI-generated or has incorrect pronunciation. I won't pay for something that isn't teaching me what I need.
Asked for my skill level. starts me at "Hello" regardless. has the letters in the exact right order to type in. hilarious.
I chose Russian and menus are in Ukrainian, also no free version. deleted the app immediately.
“I speak Bengali and I want to learn Arabic.”but “Bangali speak option is not available.”
DON'T USE THIS APP WE HAVE TO STOP MIDWAY AFTER 1 LESSON THE NOTIFICATION TO GET THE SUBSCRIPTION OR PREMIUM WHATEVER KEEPS POPPING UP I DON'T WANNA WASTE MY MONEY ON APPS HOWEVER THEY WROTE THAT IT'S FREE SO I DOWNLOADED WHEN IT'S NOT FREE DON'T EVEN WRITE IN YOUR DESCRIPTION & THE QUALITY WAS KINDA BAD AS WELL IT'S MORE LIKE A TRAP AFTER YOU'RE DONE WITH YOUR LESSON THEY SAY UNLOCK THE NEW LESSON WITH PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION RIDICULOUS
I'm a Bengali native speaker. I want to learn English. but there is no option.
I tried learning a language that I am already advanced in. It had me starting at the basics even when I put my level, and when typing on an English keyboard it was telling me the spelling was "wrong" even though there is no such correct spelling on an English keyboard. I don't think this was ready to put out to the general public yet, especially if you are asking people to pay a subscription.
I just installed your app You said in the app free trial! I want to try the app before I buy!! After providing my card to a ticate free trial (like all other app do) I found out that u deducted the full amount on the spot!!!!!! This is unfair and unprofessional I demand please full refund Thank you
Why is only the first level open?
Monetization and lack of options.. Only the very first lesson is free, and then everything needs payments. Advertising would offset this issue, but it just isn't a user-friendly way of doing things. You might as well ask for an upfront cost.
This app automatically renews your subscription without asking for consent nor informing you, and obfuscates ways to cancel the renewal. This is basically a scam.
you need to pay from day 3
holy ai slop, uninstaled after 2 min
Poor ai generated content. Images are all AI garbage. The audio will frequently not match the text it's suppose to say. Some language content are clearly not made by anyone who actually knows the language. The selection area of some options literally overlap with the continue button so you can't advance some lessons. At one point, the spell out a word lesson just didn't provide any letters to select for weeks and no one that works that this place even noticed. Not worth the money.
I don't understand why Forbes rated this app so highly. It gets way too advanced before it even teaches you all the basics. what's worse, it doesn't explain anything! doesn't explain what a word means or why it might change; no option to read more about it. I paid for the lifetime so no choice but to continue trying, but I do not recommend this app unless you are already at least intermediate. Sucks!
Just like the app Ling be weary of their 7 day free trial. They charged me after three days. Which, despite how they have free trial plastered every where. Also in the japanese course they use the words for little sister and little brother as just sister and brother. Which is incorrect. it's a shame, the app does look nice and the voice chat is pleasant, but shady business practice and incorrect vocab
I was under the impression the lessons were free, not that one section was free and the rest was behind a paywall. what the hell?
it's Ok and all but it cuts you off way too fast, and you have to say it so fast or else it cuts you off and makes you get it wrong. I also apparently have to pay for my lessons! I just want to learn a language without having any stress
ilk gün istifadə etdim və bəyəndiyim tərəflərdə oldu bəyənmədiyim tərəflərdə. bəyəndiyim tərəflərdən biri sözləri tez tez təkrar etməsi oldu. bəyənmədiyim tərəflərdən biri isə keçmədiyi sözləri soruşur. bu qədər olsa bir problem yoxdu. amma bu gün proqrama daxil oluram və dərsə başlamaq üçün ödəniş istəyir. hələ proqramı bir gün istifadə etmişəm və ikinci gün pul tələb etməsi mənfi təsir edir
for 6 lessons in a row it has the same words. I'm not to fond with it
I need a refund . After the free trail, doesnt give you a notification to subscribe. Just withdrew money from my account. I dont want this app
Definitely targeting an audience of short attention-span young users. For an intellectual adult, this app is not very useful compared to the competition. Learning my 4th language so I thought I'd try a new app for fun. But after 15 minutes I could see this not for serious education.
روش ترجمه محور را برای آموزس زبان نمی پسندم.
Not the best app for learning language...I asked to learn advanced French and Spanish...it ludicrously starts with "Je m'apelle and Hola!". A waste of money.
You are required to take premium to take all lessons!
The pesky bugs are still alive and thriving! The speech to text recognition is very poor, they really need to work on recognising the speaking and pronunciation part, I find the app very frustrating to use - sometimes it can't even recognise " Yes" or "No". I have a good quality smartphone and always practice in a very quiet room but on many occasions the app does not recognise what I have pronounced CORRECTLY! I wish I had been more aware of this frustrating fault before subscribing! FIX IT !
would be better if it was free
