★★★★★ "Missing fundamental, no matter AI or not. Download it coz I would like to learn Cantonese. In the app, never mentioned their Chinese is Mandarin or Cantonese. It is misleading and never trust this app, coz they not able to differentiate Mandarin or Cantonese" - babcar

Duolingo is better
It’s Very Boring But fun my kid can’t even remember the Spanish word was Duolingo is way better my kid is doing good be better very thankful for your help but very terrible
Overpriced Duolingo Knockoff
Paid full year price and so disappointed. No better than free version of Duolingo. Really just feels like a knockoff version.
Not Worth It
After changing phones my progress was completely erased because apparently the app doesn’t save your progress in an account as many others do. To make it worse, because this useless app does not have a way of skipping lessons, I can’t even manually continue to the lessons I was on. Instead, I have no other option but to start from the beginning doing the boring stuff. I’m beyond frustrated with this app!!!!!!!!
Missing fundamental, no matter AI or not
Download it coz I would like to learn Cantonese. In the app, never mentioned their Chinese is Mandarin or Cantonese. It is misleading and never trust this app, coz they not able to differentiate Mandarin or Cantonese
Problems
Can’t easily change to another language, can’t skip ahead to a harder level, I don’t know where I am level-wise. I’m stuck saying. « Pain »
Tagalog
I need to learn Tagalog
Uneccessary words
It makes the same mistakes as the Duolingo. Useless words and phrases. Belabors some points when a beginning speaker doesn’t need such detail. Frustrating that it doesn’t give basics and provide detail much later.
I do like the grammar feature. Also frustrating is multiple ways of saying something in the beginning. SIMPLE IS BEST.
“ Is orange juice also tea” What kind of a dumb phrase is this to learn? Real example

Falou
Moving way to fast not helpful and really confusing
Changes for the worse
When I first bought this, there is an AI conversational feature, then it was made into premium+ feature that costs $5 weekly, feature that was part of my original purchase. With the new revamp, it is worse, now you can’t pick your topic and difficulty. You have to go in order. It still has improper use of the language and detection
Bugs
Fix your bugs. I’m repeating everything it says to me multiple times and it doesn’t register and then says I didn’t say it resulting in a wrong answer. So annoying. Moving on to another app
Is this even correct?
I like the concept but who says things like “evening, good evening”? I want to believe, but I think they did a rush job of putting this out and some of the grammar is flat out wrong. The app sticks- my spoken conversation isn’t registered. Maybe it will be corrected in the future. But for now I don’t think it’s very credible.
Okay ig
So, it was an amazing app at first, but only five chapters in my Korean lesson I HAD to pay for it. We need more free language apps. I got this because Duolingo is not a great or free app anymore, but in hopes that this one would be. Definitely not free.
