## ChinesePod Reviews in United States

### *---- "Paid for Subscription, Got Nothing"
I’m extremely disappointed with the ChinesePod app. I paid $30 for a monthly subscription, but the app doesn’t even recognize my paid account, leaving me unable to use the service I paid for. The app is full of bugs and basic functionality doesn’t work properly.

What’s even worse is that I’ve tried contacting customer support multiple times and received absolutely no response. Paying customers deserve better communication and a working product. Right now, this feels like a complete waste of money.

Would not recommend until they fix their app and improve customer support.
-- DrFlirt06, 2026-05-14

### ***** "Very useful"
I made my first leaps towards fluency with ChinesePod - just takes consistent listening and self discipline!
-- Manhattan Mandarin, 2026-04-17

### *---- "Abysmal quality"
The app is riddled with bugs, borderline unusable with frequent outages. Design is poor and deficient in every way possible relative to what a modern app should look like. Can’t even submit the feedback (broken submission form). Content is good, but the delivery is just not there and not worth the hassle.
-- r122001, 2026-04-01

### *---- "Great Material, Terrible Support"
The content on Chinespod’s app and website are fantastic. However, the app and website constantly experience performance issues, rendering them both useless. It is a shame because I used to love it. Unless the bugs are fixed, you are better off spending your $250 membership elsewhere.
-- Dpeifaaaac, 2026-02-13

### ***-- "Great content. Bad interface."
Top notch materials. And thoughtful lessons. But interface is glitchy. Sometimes it stalls or freezes. And there’s issues with the subscription registration — I paid for a subscription but the interface doesn’t reflect that. Just not smooth experience.
-- Bosslad80, 2025-12-23

### *---- "Avoid this company"
I had an account recently and was checking to see if there were any current promotions running. I input some codes that I found online to see if they were a part of currently running sales, and they did not work, fine with me. However, a few minutes later, I got an email from the company without any context, asking me if there was anything they could help me with in my account. The email was extremely vague, and I was under the impression that I was being watched, as if they did not like that I was trying promotional codes (?). That’s something I do anytime I buy something online, because I’m always unaware if companies are running sales. Anyway, I replied back, asking what prompted the message, since the company did not say as much, and several days later, I have not received a response from them. Very unprofessional. Then a few days later, I wanted to create a new account and try to delete my previous account to erase my history and start fresh with a new subscription. I wasn’t able to find a delete option so I signed in and out a few times trying to figure out how to remove my old account. Now today, my new account has been mysteriously deleted. It seems that for some reason this company is being passive aggressive and not communicating with customers directly. They also seem to have strange feeling about customers interacting with their account. I mean I’m a person messing around in my account, yet they’re acting like I’m a hacker or something .. very odd. If they had any problem with my account activity, they did not say as much to me directly. I can only conclude they are as in decline as everyone has been saying. Little do they know, they lost a customer. I often like to try promo codes or make fresh accounts with many online services, and I’ve spent good money in the process. If a code doesn’t work I drop it and pay full price. So what did the policing get them? Take your money elsewhere, is my best advice!
-- KimIsMovingOut, 2025-10-06

### *---- "Freezes"
How terrible is it that an app you paid $30 a month for is broken and freezes constantly on the iPhone. Terrible.
-- Jim576, 2025-09-28

### *---- "Zombie app billing"
I had no idea this app was still billing me because it didn’t show up in my Apple subscriptions and they never haven’t sent receipts. Now I can’t figure out how to cancel it!
-- Ejs42, 2025-09-23

### ***-- "Once a great platform, now sadly neglected"
I’ve used ChinesePod for over 6 years and can confidently say the learning materials are top notch, and among the best you can get for advanced learners. There is a huge variety of media and advanced topics that will vastly help you improve your cultural understanding and vocabulary. Sadly, these last few years, the platform itself has been severely neglected. There are no new advanced and media lessons, and even ones they were sporadically producing for a while were not nearly as good as older lessons. But worse, the web site and iOS app have regular stability and performance problems: some lessons don’t load at all, some take a long time or hang. Even more frustrating is that there are billing issues and I was incorrectly marked a free account, even though I still have almost half a year left. Support staff responded to a few of my messages and said they were investigating, but since then completely have ignored my messages and never followed up. It looks like nobody is actively maintaining or supporting ChinesePod anymore, which is such a shame. While the materials are still great, sadly technical problems are plentiful and nobody is there to support you when you have problems now. In a word, YMMV.
-- Mikan Bouya, 2025-09-10

### *---- "Update is Trash"
Many of the episodes won’t play since the update a few weeks ago. Frustrating. Don’t sign up or spend your money on this trash. Sadly the content is amazing. But it doesn’t matter how good the content is if the app crashes when trying to access it
-- j8_88, 2025-08-17

### ***** "The app is fine"
Idk what other people are talking about. the app is usable
-- TqU4L_T8U6usHxMx, 2025-08-02

### *---- "Don’t Give Them Your CC"
Wonderful resource and lessons, but cancelation didn’t work and I’m charged monthly without the option to cancel again on the website. No returns on emails, and very big headache.
-- A Sherlockian, 2025-06-29

### *---- "Abandoned?"
It looks like this app is defunct. It not getting any updates, a bunch of stuff is broken, and supports does not get back to me.
-- Johny-.-lee, 2025-04-07

### *---- "Please fix the app"
I used ChinesePod for over 2 years (2020-2022) and the loved it! I made so much progress in my listening skills because of it. Recently, I wanted to subscribe again to get some advanced practice. However, when I paid for a year on the app, it still remained inactive even though I paid $250. I contacted the company multiple times (over 3-4 days), but no one answered. Unfortunately, I had to reach out to Apple to refund me the money. I would love to join again when the app works.
-- Robvoge, 2024-12-02

### ***-- "Needs major updates"
It kicks me out of the app, makes it difficult to login or create an account. The lessons are fine but that’s about it. It’s full of bugs and glitch’s
-- JuniQueen, 2024-10-28

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
I can’t find any free content, but it doesn’t really matter because the app keeps crashing. I’ve had it for less than half an hour and will delete it.
-- Mynicknamewastaken🤣, 2024-10-27

### **--- "App missing website features"
Thank you for creating all these media resources to learn Mandarin. On the website, I can use a social login such as Google, but not on the app. Consequently I can’t track my progress on my iOS devices. This is very inconvenient and makes the app unusable to me. Can you please add that feature to the iOS apps? That will certainly make it a 5-star app!
-- sci-star, 2024-05-30

### *---- "Great content, terrible app"
Content: Great. Beginner to Intermediate course is amazing!! Funny, informative, and practical!

The App: Buggy. Often I can’t get videos to play. 

So, I use the website, which is leagues ahead of the app. They released a new web dashboard that still looks a touch dated, but is better.

I think that ChinesePod could really take ahold of the market again if they invested a lot more into UI & UX.
-- LcpTheGoldFox, 2023-12-20

### *---- "Not functional"
I opened the app, logged in, tapped play on a video and it showed me a black screen. I quit the app and tried again, same result.
-- blwinters, 2023-08-21

### *---- "Managed to get worse"
How could this business screw itself anymore? I leaned how to speak Chinese from this podcast in 2012. This is just so sad. They threw away all this great content. The app doesn't function. I want a refund.
