It is hands down the only method that puts the language in your head and gets you learning through speaking. I can’t be bothered with games. I love love love listening to this and figuring out the language and hearing myself speak. -- newparlon, 2026-02-14 ### *---- "Paid for." I have bought this app a while back and with all the updates it removed my account. Now I can not get what I paid for. -- Jdk20$, 2025-10-11 ### *---- "Buyer beware" Purchased 2 languages, they changed formats and now have this app. My purchased content is gone and so are the apps. But hey can buy again for $100. Bad business model. -- mloizzi, 2025-05-20 ### *---- "Scam" I bought the lessons through the app and now I can’t access the lessons I paid for. Contacted customer support and haven’t heard anything back from them. Don’t waste your money people work too hard to have someone just take it from them like this. -- Daylon Bby !, 2024-09-03 ### *---- "Test the free lesson before purchasing" I heard some of the Portuguese lesson on YouTube and really enjoyed the style so was about to buy the full intermediate+advanced bundle, but tested out the free lesson first. The app is borderline unusable. It’s full of bugs and long loading screens for what should honestly be a very simple app. I might buy some CDs and load them on my device at some point if that’s an option, but I would not under any circumstances purchase these courses online with the intent of using them on your mobile device. -- mtttttteeeeeee, 2024-07-10 ### *---- "No way to sign up for new users" No way to sign up for new users -- yesciaran, 2024-04-02 ### *---- "Keeps crashing" I love the Michel Thomas method and just purchased the first hour in French but the app keeps crashing. It’s unusable. Hoping to figure out how to get my money back and I’ll just use the web version. -- t0yodalover, 2024-03-28 ### **--- "Great content, terrible app" The app is terrible in every sense. It’s utterly unreliable. Pause-restart doesn’t work in background mode half the time. Sometimes it won’t go to next lesson after you finish one. The app crashes frequently. I used to listen to Michel Thomas MP3s back in the day and I miss the stability of that archaic experience. The app adds nothing other than making everything terribly difficult. The content is great. Which is a shame. -- Pengker, 2023-01-14 ### **--- "Poor app" The lessons are good but the app is not well made, makes it a hassle to use. -- edx9999999, 2022-07-25 ### *---- "I loved this app, as in past tense!" I loved this app and have recommended it to countless friends and colleagues many of whom have gone on to buy it as well. But now I feel terrible because they will be in the same boat I’m in. Upon upgrading my phone, this app won’t download like all the others. There are directions given on what to do if your purchase doesn’t download, which I’ve followed and emailed support with no resolution. So although I love the app and would like to continue my training, it’s too steep a price to have to repurchase every time upgrade my phone and iPad. It’s too bad. -- Xylem44, 2022-07-11 ### *---- "Good content - Disaster app" I totally recommend Michel Thomas' audio lessons (his method works!) but this app is a disaster. The play/pause button works in the first few minutes then stops. It also never works on lock screen and the time monitor - which tells you where you are in the lesson - is always off. When you download a full language file, some tracks simply do not play, even though it appears that they have been downloaded. I tried to get around it by deleting and reinstalling the app, but the problem occurs again with different tracks. There is also no way to erase/re-download a track that does not play, so you simply lose so much content because of this faulty app. Not to mention, of course, that there is no way to bookmark where you've reached, mark lessons "done" or track progress in any way. It's such a shame to waste such a valuable learning method in a cheap and faulty app. Such wasted potential! I hope the company realizes this and invests in more competent developers who can at least develop a decent platform!! (Look at how the Pimsleur app works for example!!). -- salmamw, 2022-06-28 ### **--- "Great Method App really needs work" The method is very helpful. How ever the app itself really needs improvement! At the beginning he says how important it is for you to pause it but when the iPhone is locked or the app is not open, it does not pause correctly. It takes hitting the pause and play button twice (so 4 presses total) just to pause it when the phone is locked. By that time part of the answer has been given, I am distracted and frustrated. Also when the app is open it glitches up but not as badly. I would recommend putting the time runner (line with the track of the time of the audio) further away from the pause button. It is hard to press pause and not hit the line - and then messing up where I was in the podcast. I have to look at it and be very careful not to mess up the time- which is distracting from the material. Fix these pause/play issues and I would gladly purchase the whole set for the language. But until then it is much too frustrating and distracting. -- PurpleSunflowerzz, 2022-06-28 ### *---- "You will lose your money spent on purchased courses!!!" Here’s how they work… You spend lots of money on course lessons, they replace the app with a new one, then all your purchases no longer download. Money wasted. -- BoostedStig, 2022-05-07 ### *---- "Garbage app" How can I access the content I paid for outside of this joke of an app? -- Dougsbud, 2022-02-17 ### *---- "Good program bad app" If the app would consistently work it would be way better. It’s honestly very disappointing when I already payed $200+ for the program only to have the app be basically unusable. Won’t pause when pressing pause. Won’t download courses and play in order. Did you guys hire some high schooler that had taken one computer science course to build the app? -- zbrochacho, 2022-01-22 ### **--- "Play/Pause Issues" The method is great, but the app is not good. It basically has one job: play mp3 files; but it does a very poor job of this. It loses track of you place and doesn’t always respond when you press pause. This should be a simple feature and it is an essential function for language courses. Michel gives explicit instructions to pause the audio in order to think out a phrase, but the app makes this very difficult and frustrating. Please fix! -- Markus_Auralias, 2021-12-29 ### *---- "App player is broken — do not buy until fixed!!" Pause and navigation buttons work only occasionally and are completely unreliable. This is basic functionality in desperate need of a fix. -- tmm212, 2021-09-05 ### ***-- "Happy to have it and frustrated" I am extremely happy to have Michel Thomas on my phone and I would not give up access to this app. I am extremely frustrated though because the developers have numbered the audio tracks with counting numbers but used the pdf from the CD set. So in the booklet 03.07 is cd 3 track 7, which corresponds to track 29, but you have to count up to determine which track to play. Also the app does not save your place in the book. Again I am extremely grateful for this resource. I really hope the numbering can be made consistent in the future. -- Lucky_day, 2021-05-23 ### *---- "Still doesn’t work" After the update the app still doesn’t work—the tracks do not play at all. Seriously, get it together. I’m sad I paid for a course and will it recommend it to anyone. -- 119190768, 2021-04-02 ### ***** "If nothing else works this will" Recommended by someone else who also had trouble getting started in French I’ve tried Duolingo daily for nearly a year and this helped me so much more. If you’re worried or stressed you can’t learn French, just listen to these recordings and honestly he finds a low stress way to give you a foundation with words we already know. -- CiaraLakhani, 2021-02-27 [View all Michel Thomas Language Library reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Michel Thomas Language Library In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Pack of 11 Credits | $10.99 | | Pack of 12 Credits | $11.99 | | Pack of 100 Credits | $99.99 | ## Michel Thomas Language Library Discovered Keywords -
