I am learning Swedish and frankly for the amount you pay I would expect it to accept multiple answers. For example, it asked for the Swedish word for “coat” and I answered “rock”. This was marked incorrect because it was specifically looking for “täcka”. This is one of many examples I also had “bath robe” marked incorrect as it wanted “bathrobe”. I was marked wrong for writing “colour” instead of “color”! It would also be good if it added the definite from of words and which genders the words are (for gendered languages like French and Swedish). Great concept but needs improvement.

I’m learning French as I have a french friend (she can speak English but I would like to be able to speak to her in french too) I have an 136 day duolingo streak and let me tell half the words are completely wrong.

It is very good

Nice concept but just wrong. Machine translations of words that are completely incorrect even at the very start. Horrible machine voice speaking the words and they don’t sound anything like a real speaker. You’ll never be able to understand spoken language using a machine voice. No logical order to the training. Just random words. No context. Gives you conjugated verbs without any context. Basically, if you use this you’ll learn next to nothing and anything you do learn is likely to be wrong. This app is not the solution to your learning needs. There are better apps for learning vocabulary. Please do yourself a favour and don’t waste your time on this one. Go find something better. Your time is precious. Don’t waste it.

I downloaded this app as it looked really useful. The blurb did not give the full list of languages and sadly the one I wanted to practise was not there. It would be useful to list all the languages in the blurb to save a wasted download. Swahili is one of the most widely spoken African language so I hope it will be added soon.

The app uses text-to-speech for pronunciation, rather than native recordings. The problem is, the text-to-speech voice isn’t necessarily specialised to the language you are studying. For example, I set the language to Lithuanian and played the pronunciation examples to my Lithuanian fiancée - she couldn’t even understand what the computer-generated voice was trying to say! The pronunciation was COMPLETELY wrong, it sounded like an English speaker trying to read Lithuanian words without ever having even heard the language being spoken before. And the app creators want people to pay £10 A MONTH for this app?!

Wonderful design, looks nice, card sets is a great feature and everything runs smooth, however when learning words with multiple translations, your answer will be marked as incorrect if you don’t use the exact translation the app is looking for. I’m learning Spanish so let’s take ‘to the’ as an example - could be translated to ‘al’ or ‘a la’ but when testing ‘a la’ as a response, it marked me as wrong which gets frustrating in a language with so many words/phrases like this. ‘Was’ is another example here where it could be ‘fue’, or ‘era’ depending on context. Maybe I’m doing something wrong but if not, this issue needs re-thinking. If it was fixed I would buy and mark 5* as I feel the price is very reasonable. Overall good work but I can see that one issue being very confusing for many people across the board.

This is a good handy app. However it has been let down by the subscription price. Currently it is £49 per year or £10 a month, or a one off payment of £55 for “Lifetime” (until the developers decides not to update the app or the company goes bust). Imagine paying £55 and the next day the app is no longer available in Apple Store. This is a handy app, but not innovative. One can simply replicate the same function using the free Note app on iPhone/iPad plus Google translate. Yes it is more clunky, but the translations is just as bad as google translate. So why pay £55 for a convenience of combining google translate plus Note app.

I am 100% sure I put that I want to learn Korean in the app. In fact I checked it multiple times. But it’s wasn’t teaching me it, it was showing a different language with a different way of writing and everything. Also the translation are nit quite right. I’m intermediate in korean so I checked the translator and most of the time it said something completely different. Luckily I was intermediate so I did just start learning and completely different language I didn’t even know the name of!

Just downloaded the app today and chose learn German based on English. Out of 5 random words 2 had issues: 1) “Soll” was incorrectly translated as “designed to” where it’s “should” 2) “der weisse” was translated as “Weisse” which should be “the white” So given a 40% incorrect translation rate I gave up on the app :/ pitty as design is nice
