Fake free trial
Charged for a whole year before the free trial even ended.
★★★★ Аl 3/25/2026 v1.8.13
Scam
I downloaded and installed the app, and I was offered a 7or14-day free trial with the purchase of an annual plan. I was informed that I would be notified before the trial period ended and asked to confirm the payment, which I agreed to.
However, during the purchase process, there was a technical issue, and the only option available was “Restore Purchase.” I selected it, and a message appeared saying that the purchase had been restored.
I then entered the app and tested it for about 3-5 minutes. It quickly became clear that this was not what I was looking for, so I immediately canceled the subscription and deleted the app.
Despite this, I was charged for the full annual plan the very next day.
I only used the app for a few minutes, and I was clearly promised a multi-day free trial. This situation feels misleading and unacceptable.
I did not intend to use this service and have not used it beyond a brief test. I kindly request a full refund.
★★★★ LS Fedor 2/21/2026 v1.8.9
deception
I took their Facebook ad test and paid $14 for a two-week period. The payment went through, but I didn't receive any information! Also, when I logged into the app and tried to restore my purchases, I was told there were no purchases.
★★★★ Carlesa1940 2/18/2026 v1.8.9
No good app
You are paying for a English course reading books. First they sold the books for 20drls and you cannot marks the advance in the book don’t paid for this app. I paid 20 drls for books I never use and I can’t get my money back

★★★★ User_anonimous 12/30/2025 v1.8.7
SCAM WARNING.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP.
You are forced to start the so-called “free” trial just to get in. Minutes later, my bank alerted me to a $105 charge. That is not a free trial - that’s deceptive and predatory.
The ads are straight-up lies. They promise learning through books, but once inside, you’re asked to pay even more to access them.
This app is misleading, shady, and not worth a single dollar. Save yourself the headache and stay away.

Issue with trial
I wanted to use trial and immediately they charged the one year subscription. I request refund but they didn’t answer
★★★★ Wed23456-& 11/29/2025 v1.8.5
Warning possible scam
Today, November 29, 2025, I made a purchase that I consider misleading, as it was indicated that the application was permanent or “lifetime” with a single payment. However, after completing the transaction, it appeared as a subscription valid for only one year, which contradicts the information presented at the time of purchase.
For this reason, I am requesting a full refund of my money. I would also like to express that the application is far too basic for the price you are charging.
I appreciate your prompt response and resolution.

refund!
I signed up for the 7-day free trial, and after trying it, I realized I wouldn’t continue.
So I canceled the subscription right away.
But I just saw that about $80 was charged to my card.
Can you tell me why it was charged even though I canceled it?
And when can I expect to receive a refund?
★★★★ ingrittt 10/27/2025 v1.8.2

Es muy frustrante que te estafen poniendo que puedes hacer la prueba una semana y se cobre el paquete… se hizo la reclamación con Apple y no fue apto para reembolso. Me siento estafada, no cumplió en nada mis espectativas.

I won’t recommend, one of the worst
★★★★ Kormano 10/21/2025 v1.8.1
Scam
I wanted to try it because the app offers a 7-day trial. After completing the steps and validating everything, I was charged $29 at the start, even though it's supposed to charge after trying it. It's a scam.
★★★★ MariTodua 10/3/2025 v1.7.20
don’t recommend
I signed up for the free trial week and canceled right after the first session, but they still charged me $32.50. This is unfair. Do not subscribe.
★★★★ AlbertG19 10/2/2025 v1.7.20
I was offered a special lifetime payment offer, I paid it and they continue to charge me the monthly
I was offered a lifetime payment special. I paid, and they're still charging me the monthly fee. I contacted the staff, sent them the screenshots of the offer I received, and when I paid, I haven't received a response. And today they've already charged me for this month. I asked for a refund, but nothing... This is a scam.
★★★★ California judge 9/20/2025 v1.7.19
The app store should deal with this.
I recently downloaded an English learning app from the App Store that claimed to offer a 7-day free trial before charging any fees. However, I was charged $35 and $29 immediately without any visible trial period, and the app does not appear in my purchase history in a way that allows cancellation.
There is no option to cancel the subscription, and I feel this is a scam. I did not intend to make a one-time purchase, and I did not authorize these charges. Please help me cancel this app and process a refund for both transactions.
I believe this app is deceptive and should be reviewed for violating Apple's policies.
Hello! We're sorry to hear you've had trouble managing your subscription.

★★★★ 려고이징 9/9/2025 v1.7.18
Scam!!!!
I experienced the exact same issue as described in this review.
I downloaded this app and was immediately charged $35, even though it claimed I could get a refund within 12 days. However, the app does not appear in my purchase history in a way that allows me to cancel the subscription.
This feels extremely misleading, and I believe this app should be reviewed for violating Apple’s policies. I request a full refund and the cancellation of any charges related to this app.
★★★★ FangNingL 9/9/2025 v1.7.18

Don't buy it-it's a scam. This software charges arbitrarily, complaints go unaddressed, and the developer refuses refunds.

This app is a scam. I downloaded the app, and they offered a 7-day free trial, but I was immediately charged $79.90. I was unable to obtain a refund even though I contacted support right away. This is extremely disrespectful and unacceptable.

I was given the right to a 7-day free trial, but I didn't want to buy the app because I didn't want to buy it and money is constantly being withdrawn from my account.

Unexpected subscription charge
English
The app automatically charged my card after the trial ended without any reminder or clear warning. I did not intend to purchase the subscription. This practice feels misleading and not user-friendly. Please improve transparency and notify users before charging.
Türkçe
Deneme süresi bittikten sonra hiçbir hatırlatma veya açık uyarı yapılmadan kartımdan otomatik olarak ücret çekildi. Aboneliği satın almak istememiştim. Bu uygulama yanıltıcı ve kullanıcı dostu değil. Lütfen daha şeffaf olun ve kullanıcıları ücret almadan önce bilgilendirin.
Spanish
La aplicación cargó automáticamente mi tarjeta después de que terminó la prueba gratuita, sin ningún recordatorio ni advertencia clara. No tenía intención de comprar la suscripción. Esta práctica resulta engañosa y poco amigable para el usuario. Por favor, mejoren la transparencia y notifiquen antes de cobrar.

Die App hat meine Karte nach Ablauf der Testphase automatisch belastet, ohne Erinnerung oder klare Warnung. Ich hatte nicht die Absicht, das Abonnement zu kaufen.

Request for Subscription Cancellation and Refund
I previously requested a refund for my subscription but received no response.
Now I’ve been charged again - $35.00 on July 12 and $28.00 on July 26 - for similar services.
Please issue a full refund of $63.00 and confirm that my subscription has been canceled.

Refund
I recently downloaded an English learning app from the app store and was charged after a 7-day free trial. However, the trial period was charged immediately instead of $35 and $29, and there is no cancellation request in my purchase history.
I think there is an option to cancel the subscription. It should be a one-time purchase and I did not grant permission to do so.
Please cancel this app and refund both transactions.
★★★★ Nars Huichun Chang 7/16/2025 v1.7.12
Can’t find the option to cancel the subscription
Even though the app is decent, I am giving this app only 1 star because there is no option to cancel the subscription. I can’t find the app on my Apple Store subscription list or any options to manage the subscription within the app. I searched online and there is no direct answer. It feels like the app is designed to trap its users.
★★★★ Ag0607 7/9/2025 v1.7.12
Horrible app
I paid money for a two-month subscription of $35 and they sent me a promo code that doesn't work, I wrote to the support and they don't respond, terrible app, don't download, don't make my mistake

Con-artist
I downloaded there other Spanish app recently. I did not agree to a 1 year subscription for $80!!! This is absurd and this company should not be allowed to get away with this! When I downloaded the app to try it out it gave a list of different subscription options that would take place after the free trial. I did not and would not have ever selected one year for an app that I’ve never tried especially for $80! I tried 2x to appeal this decision and was denied. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY!!

I’ve sent two refund requests because the app didn’t suit me, but I never got a response. Poor customer service and no way to get help. Very disappointing experience.
★★★★ Taijibo 5/26/2025 v1.7.9
SCAM Alert!!!!
They made a false AD. It seemed like they provide lessons with movie subtitles. But it is just bunch of vocab practices worse than so many free lessons. The free trial is a lie. Once you try it, you have to pay at least $60 for this trash app. They don’t do any customer service and cannot cancel the service. I tried to find this app’s subscription to cancel but I cannot find this app whatsoever because they made the payment system like installment, not the subscription way. It is made for fraud. All the good reviews are made on their side. Trust me. Don’t even try this app.
★★★★ hroksana 5/23/2025 v1.7.9
write-off of money for the year
At first they write that 7 days are free, but when you pay they immediately charge you a year's subscription!
★★★★ Moknani 5/20/2025 v1.7.7
Marketing Fraud
They said they would give me a 100% refund if I contacted their customer service within 2 weeks of purchase, but they haven't any response to me. Looking at other reviews, they blame it on Apple's policy and don't take responsibility for their words.
The company's address is listed as Mauritius. It is a fake company that is committing fraud with marketing. Never buy their poorly made amateur apps.
