I’ve been studying French for many years and always wanted to consistently work on my speaking skills. I finally have the tool I need! I’ve tried 4 apps and Univerbal is by far the best. Accurate corrections, good dialogues, good response times (e.g., no delays).
This app does not replace a textbook or app that directly teaches grammar and vocabulary, and it does not replace conversation with a real person. It seems like a vaguely-conceived prototype that has been released too early as a product, along with lots of fake 5 star reviews as part of the marketing. The conversations on this app are inane, the speech detection is not good enough (especially for French). As an example of the inane construction of the conversations, for German, the conversation partner asks how long I've been in Germany. I answer that I'm not in Germany. He then asks what brought me to Germany. I answer, again, that I'm not in Germany. He then changes the topic and asks about hobbies. This is like talking to the dumbest person imaginable.
I love the concept of this app, but unfortunately the text-to-speech (TTS) service it uses is horrifically robotic and sounds nothing resembling a conversation with a real person. There are several fantastic TTS services out there (Azure, ElevenLabs) that are leaps and bounds above what Univerbal uses, and I hope the developers consider investing in improving that area. Overall the app is going in the right direction, and I’d consider paying for a subscription with a better TTS.
This application is basically magic and has an excellent free trial and privacy policy. I plan on subscribing despite being a broke student. It blows all learning apps other than SRS out of the water.
Before the new update everything was fine. But after this update I don't know where my progress disappeared. With this new system, all my conversations and levels were lost. If this update continues, I will not renew my subscription. How do you change the system of talks like this completely and without warning, when all progress in the old system is canceled and we start again with the new system!!!! If every two months a new system was applied, how would learning be?
This app is free and then you can talk to AI
Really good, finally someone is using AI to make a great language-learning app 🙏🏼
This is an amazing helpful app
I feel suckered by this app. Cool idea. Worked well the first couple of times. Paid for it. The app now gets stuck way too frequently, giving the message “this is taking longer than expected.” It’s basically unusable after a certain point. This app isn’t ready for prime time 👎
It is very good. My English levels are higher than the past level I had.
