1. [R58] 1/5 · US Makes you pay in the middle of the session: It won’t tell you but it will give you free lessons at first then when you are in the middle of learning your class and starting to learn Spanish it will make you pay or you can’t learn Spanish and it makes you feel like if you don’t pay and download another app you lose all your progress and you will feel like you need to pay even though you can just do
2. [R86] 1/5 · US Don't fall for it: Bro so I was just having fun at first then after you get to like 20 minutes of practicing it say "Oh you reached your daily limit" and I had to wait 10 hours so at like 11pm I can start practicing you think I'm going to start practicing at 11pm NO I get tired at that time and you have to pay money to learn more Spanish you think I'm going to pay that NO! Fix this don't fall for
3. [R96] 1/5 · US 😒: Sin solo tener un día te pide que pagues el modo premiun y ósea yo solo vengo a aprender no a pagar.
4. [R138] 3/5 · US Good app but no free option: The app only offers a short free lesson. Constantly hounds you to subscribe. Might be 5 stars if there were a limited free edition.
5. [R169] 1/5 · US Changes for the worse: When I first bought this, there is an AI conversational feature, then it was made into premium+ feature that costs $5 weekly, feature that was part of my original purchase. With the new revamp, it is worse, now you can’t pick your topic and difficulty. You have to go in order. It still has improper use of the language and detection
6. [R337] 1/5 · GB Disappointed: After seeing the ads for the product I was under the impression that I would get access to the AI tutor after paying the initial subscription. To discover later that this is an additional bolt on, costing extra, was very disappointing and felt like sharp practice. More transparency is required.
7. [R135] 3/5 · US Good but…: You can’t go back and review lessons and found myself overwhelmed eventually because of that. The subscription pricing levels give no explanation as to what is included.
8. [R272] 1/5 · GB AI rubbish: This is AI generated rubbish, the app is inconsistent and will pass you on sentences even if you haven’t spoken. Or will fail you when you have spoken them correctly. Do not waste your money. Also, if you do decide to buy. Keep declining, they will eventually give you 80% off. Even at £20 it is not worth it!
9. [R279] 1/5 · GB Stupid: Firstly - the price for a year is £20, but you have to click past paywalls one by one reducing it from £100, then to £40, £30 and finally £20 by refusing. Then - it disappear the final price on a 30 min countdown timer in your iPhone’s notch that you can’t turn off, even by turning off notifications. Not only this - voice recognition doesn’t work (it’ll complete exercises as correct before
10. [R255] 3/5 · GB Good but too many adds.: This app is amazing and it teaches you to speak confidently really fast the only problem I have is the amount of adds. There’s an add after every lesson. And I understand it is for the app premium and it’s good marketing but it’s very annoying. I would recommend this app if you have the patience sit through adds or the money to pay £100+ a year.
11. [R277] 1/5 · GB Cash Grab: After completing a few lessons you hit a wall where it demands payment to continue. The language recognition isn’t great and will reward you for incorrect pronunciations and will register correct pronunciations as wrong. I also have concerns where this teaches you the wrong words for certain scenarios. For example it will ask you questions such as ‘translate Hello, Goodbye’ which in Ita
12. [R1] 5/5 · US Falou is better than duolingo: I learned more on falou then I did on Duolingo with only on falou for like 15 minutes and on Duolingo two days already lol
13. [R2] 5/5 · US Learning everyday: Great tool to learn basics of a new language
14. [R7] 5/5 · US The best!: it’s really similar to Duolingo, but it’s a little better than Duolingo as well. I learned so much already. This was recommended to me a lot on my TikTok FYP. I recommend this app. This is a really good app. Does it have any ads? You don’t really have to pay for anything? It’s pretty free. five stars!!
15. [R9] 5/5 · US Amazing!: I’ve tried a few other apps and so far this is the easiest, and most helpful; if you’re looking to travel or have convos with friends this would be a perfect app for you! I’ve already learned more in a few lessons than (well let’s be honest) Duolingo has ever taught me
16. [R19] 5/5 · US Fun / interactive: Very interactive and fun. Noticing learning is better when hearing sentences and then practicing - brain will put the pieces together this way!
17. [R21] 5/5 · US So amazing!!!: Falou is so fun and it mainly focuses on helping me learn how to pronounce and remember how to use the words in conversation properly! It works sooooo well! I’ve learned so many useful words in a very short amount of time!
18. [R23] 5/5 · US So far so great!: I just started but this seems promising and teaches you the things you need to know and you get to speak Spanish most of the time so it helps me learn faster!
19. [R36] 5/5 · US Simple: It very simple, allows you to practice the pronunciation. Also, it helps you understand how the words can be used in a sentence.
20. [R12] 5/5 · US Awesome!: I love this app. I’ve known words for years but could never put them together to form sentences.
21. [R77] 2/5 · US Has potential but…: Pros: I really like the way it sets up the sentences and mixes up the vocabulary in various sentences. I also appreciate that it has an option to break down the grammar so you understand why the sentence is structured a certain way. Cons: I don’t like the weird AI generated sentences. It confuses to/from with time and distance topics. “We went from Tokyo to 9pm.” It has a
22. [R11] 5/5 · US It’s so good: It’s such a great app definitely recommend it’s literary better then Duolingo
23. [R3] 3/5 · US Started good, got worse: There is nothing more frustrating than trying to use an app that refuses to understand what you’re saying. When I first got this app, it was absolutely terrific. I was learning a lot of words, and I was correcting my pronunciation as I went along. Now as I go back over words, I already know, I am no longer getting the same results from the AI that’s judging my pronunciatio
24. [R10] 3/5 · US Good App, Bad Content: The interface this app is easy and the algorithm works well, but the content is a total mess. The transliteration of some of the Japanese words is in fact Chinese, and many of the sentences (and I mean many) are unidiomatic, ungrammatical, and outright nonsensical. It should not have been released before a rigorous quality assurance on content was made. I regret the purchase
25. [R18] 3/5 · US Duolingo for Greek: This is the same as Duolingo. But Greek. So disappointed 10 chapters in still don’t know basic words like days of week numbers the only meal I can order is steak on a gyro or with bread and lemon or orange. I was hoping it would teach basics first . But I can say the big book is very good. I can’t say where is the bathroom or train station.
26. [R45] 1/5 · US Uses AI to write nonsense: I have been studying korean and my wife is a native Korean speaker. The app seemed good at first but as the material got more complex the sentences became less intelligible. It started to have sentences which don’t have a sensible context and can’t be made with proper grammar. Don’t waste your time or money.
