Beelinguapp - Language Course

Once repeat to play the same sentence, I can’t move to the next page...I can only go back to the homepage and replay it again

There are typos everywhere - in both sections, English and Spanish. I don’t even speak Spanish that well and I can notice the typos. Honest question I’d like to know, is this app made by AI? Also, nothing will ever ever load!?!? Also - One cannot access this app on their computer?

Love this app will rate five plus stars when it syncs across all my devices thanks … still waiting for an update… ???

its shutting down EVERYTIME i open it

Have enjoyed. Decent price. But the sibmit button often freezes in exercises and can be uite frustrating.

It’s definitely the best app interface that I’ve seen for reading a language you are trying to learn. However, sometimes the stories feel like they are written by Chat GBT and the usage of the language can be a little off. For example for one French story they used the word “dirigeant” to represent a wooden ruler, but the word is meant to describe a person who is a leader/ruler not the object. I don’t mind the ChatGPT curated stories, however, I do wish someone who spoke the language reviewed and edited the material before it was published on the app. The stories aren’t long so it would not be difficult for someone to do. Also more content that is entertaining to read even though it is a short story would helpful. Just my suggestion. Otherwise I think it’s pretty good. **Update** I don’t think I’ve ever updated a review in the App Store. But I thought this was worth it. So what I said before, mostly still stands. However, they added a feature where you can create your own stories in a different language using AI. For me this knocks out the boring aspect that a lot of the short stories can have because you get to make up your own. Although I do think creating your own stories makes this app worth five stars. I also think that the stories that are published by the app should be reviewed by someone who knows the language. Also, maybe the stories can be more meaningful since people can now create their own with AI in the app. I just feel like now the app creators don’t have to push out stories all the time, allowing for the stories they publish to be more interesting and longer like the earlier ones.

On a 7 day trial. I cannot complete the first quiz as the submit button appears to have a mind of its own. I can usually answer the first question then the second or third question, selecting an answer and hitting submit does nothing and the only way out is to quit the quiz. Doesn’t inspire confidence in the rest of the app. Also the microphone button on flashcards does nothing. It just says hold the button while speaking and never picks up my words. There should be an indicator that the app is listening and an instant response after speaking. Other language apps do this easily. Additionally, after many tries I go through the first quiz and past the broken microphone on the flashcards to try to read the second story. The story downloads, loads and then there is a pop up that says something went wrong please download again. I try again and again and get the same pop up and am unable to load the story. Cancelling my trial. I can see my way to pay for this when it seems so buggy from the start

The app is a little buggy but the concept is good so it was probably a decent option before it started relying so heavily on machine generated text, speech, and art. I wish I were dumb enough to believe this is a good use of my time.

This app deserves a place in every language-learner’s toolbox. With its focus on comprehensible input, and its side-by-side texts and audio (of Spanish and English), it goes a long way toward cementing an understanding of the language in a way that other kinds of exercises cannot accomplish. That said, at this writing, 14 November 2024, the speech recognition algorithm needs a LOT of work. But I’m confident that with future updates, it will improve. This is an engaging app which makes the learning process enjoyable as well as efficacious. And the developers stand behind this app and are responsive to user-initiated questions and reports. I strongly recommend it.

I was excited to try this app. The app does not keep track of the stories that have been read. I read the same story twice and each time the app recorded zero stories read. Some parts of the system will open other parts will not especially if it doesn’t believe you read anything. I truly don’t have time to continue reading the same story over just to get the games or flash cards to open, etc. I think the concept is great, but it has so many bugs and glitches it’s too time consuming and frustrating while trying to make the slightest bit of progress.
