doesn't work language settings. Show Spanish instead English lessons
I have deleted this app and unsubscribed 2 months ago but it still tries to charge my card every week. it is a scam don't pay for it
Basta vedere la pubblicità. il ragazzo dice 'scusa parla poco italiano' e lui lo corregge: 'parlo un po' di italiano'. il senso non è quello
would love if this app had Romanian
Trying to cancel after "7 day trial" I am not getting a response. If they automatically renew - I will contact the credit card company and report a fraudulent transaction. I got no help with proper pronunciation. it lists answers for you to repeat back to it. it's really not helpful.
too many free options to pay 99 a year for this 👎
I like the idea, but the Japanese tutor doesn't sound very natural. Worse, it keeps repeating words in brackets to write them in kana or romaji, and when it does that, the spoken instruction also repeats them, making it incredibly hard to follow along. I'll pass on this for now.
I downloaded the app like a week ago. I like it it's not bad but I decided I didn't need it anymore. I tried to unsubscribe but it wouldn't let me at all. now today it charged me 100 ..... I got so mad cause I've been trying to unsubscribe now it let me after I pay I can't call no number... I want a refund but nobody answer me ..... I want my money back cause now I just wasted 100 that could feed my kids for nothing .,..
Terrible app. Would not recommend in its current state. 👎
The app and it's huge amount of advertising promised a variety of "AI tutors" and learning personalization, as well as being able to learn a lot even on a free account. So I feel a little bit lied to. Many of the AI avatars that are being advertised aren't available, and most of the current ones are pretty uncanny in both looks and tone. You can't get much from the free account, which was to be expected, but the app doesn't teach you much either way-so, it is just a silly roleplaying app.
I am a child that doesn't have money and it tried to make me pay for the app just to start with basic words for Spanish do not recommend this app
Unfortunately this seems to be designed for Americans who have ever heard of three languages. If you want to learn anything outside of Spanish, German, or French, don't even bother downloading
No free option whatsoever. Do not waste your time unless you intend on subscribing 100 bucks. I really hate when apps hide the subscription requirement.
Despite canceling during the trial period they keep billing my credit card every 3 months!
first time using it, it froze after my first answer. force closed it and then it did the same thing again. Not good!
It is not free. It promts you to sign up for a free 7 day trial. You cant use it if you don't.
ok
Horrible app. No structure. The teaching is haphazard with no organization, and they bill you for the whole year, with no chance to refund
it's very bad aap I don't like this app very bad behaviour and in this app you have to subscribe there channel. i don't like this app never ever
anyone that has used it to study Japanese will know how stupid this app is. you can't turn of the hiragana and romanji reading. so it will basically read every kanji word three times, making the instructor unintelligible. And the instructor sometimes reads words wrong or makes really terrifying sounds like in a Japanese ghost movie.
Good luck getting your money back when they auto pull from your account after free trial. Been "chatting" with support for 6 days and nobody has given me any information.
Installs itself forcefully
I followed the prompts but decided not to purchase. I don't believe that apps should ask you a series of questions about your personal goals and then -lead you into the payment structure. I know it's common, but I wanted to comment against this tactic. Also, the bot I chose turned out to be very strange. When I tried to sample another bot, I couldn't without first making a purchase. There was no way to go back and edit or delete the personal information I put in.
I'd like to say it's a good app but they are scammers. I agreed to a monthly payment and they charged my bank over $100. I have a great credit score and great bank so I'm fighting the charges. what a despicable company. can people be honest anymore? well you know what you need to know about this app now 😡
took me 10 mins just get started
not free at all
can't use 7 day "free trial " without signing up. what do you guys call free trial ? also it should allow monthly payment. what if i don't like it and i paid in advance
it wanted me to buy without even being able to try it out longer then 1 min. So I couldn't even really test it before investing 100 dollars. Nobody pays for a free trial , you get a free trial and then if you like it you pay. it forces you to make 100 dollar decision with millions of other choices out there
it's such s bad app, the process's works so slowly that exhausted me
Really wanted to love this app. The concept is great. However the app has said multiple times that my pronounciation of words is great when I think it wasn't correct. I tested this idea by deliberately mispronouncing words and half speaking others, when set on 'strict' the AI tutors still said it was perfect. Really need to ensure that people are pronouncing words correctly if learning a new language otherwise it is a waste of time.
i really wanted to learn the language of the greatest country in the world by land area but the app unfortunately does not have Russian language
When it asks a question, it offers a full massive paragraph for me to respond with, when in answering the 30 questions about myself, I stated that pronunciation is my struggle. Why did I answer so many questions if it going to ignore them and ask them again ... And then during conversation, just clicking their suggetion, without doing anything, it praises you and conpletes the lesson. Weird.
The fraudulent AI ads are all you need to know about this app. I downloaded this app and before I even opened it, I uninstalled because I saw an ad for it on YT showing an AI person who said they became fluent in English in 3 months using only this app. Claimed to be a Spanish speaker but had ZERO accent 🤣 well, except for the robotic AI accent. No thanks.
