1. [R9] 5/5 · US Great language app!: Recently got this app, I’m really enjoying it, it’s patient & clear & u don’t feel rushed 😻✌🏽
2. [R10] 5/5 · US Learning Spanish as an older adult: This app is very helpful. It covers everything in all ways of learning. I learn best by doing, but find it extremely helpful to listen to the pronunciation and learn the spelling of the words.
3. [R17] 5/5 · US Clarification at last!: I spent 3 years on another app and how to use simple adjectives was rarely explained, and if there was an explanation it was vague or misleading. Not here !
4. [R58] 5/5 · US Muito bem pensado: Excelente! Revisa bem gramática e vocabulário um número grande de vezes ajudando na consolidação da memória sem ser cansativo.
5. [R12] 5/5 · US Excellent: I love the pace and the quantity of what is given to you to learn. Explanations of the alphabet are excellent. I love the five minute lesson a day option. Perfect for my busy schedule.
6. [R52] 5/5 · US One of the best English apps: Short, informative and entertaining.
7. [R63] 5/5 · US Easy and fun: I am learning english and this app makes it very easy and fun. I recommend it!
8. [R105] 5/5 · AU Positive: Good study app fir busy people.
9. [R32] 5/5 · US I love this app!: I really enjoy the modules where we repeat and then talk right with the native speakers. Challenging but fun!
10. [R54] 4/5 · US Impressive App: This app helped me improve my speaking skills as a new immigrant in the US. It provides lots of slang vocabulary. I don’t get tired of learning every day.
11. [R56] 5/5 · US Jorge: Promova is helping with my communication skills, as well as my vocabulary. And plenty of fun!
12. [R84] 5/5 · US Promova is awesome 👍: Using the Promova app to learn English is enhancing communication. The fun images and icons make it easier to learn.
13. [R24] 5/5 · US the best app to learn korean: towards all the apps i have tried so far none of them can compare to this one. this app dose not confuse me at all it explains everything in a way i can understand, i can see myself getting better already. great app!
14. [R60] 5/5 · US When will the higher level of Korean come out? Really looking forward to: The beginner and pre intermediate of Korean session is quite knowledgeable and useful, the pace, genre and instruction style of the app really hit my point. So I bought a one year subscription but realized there are only two levels. Please update more, Thanks for your efforts for making this great app
15. [R89] 5/5 · US Great foundation to start with: This to me is hands down the best instruction for learning a new language. Currently learning Korean and the build up for vowel/consonants to words is amazing. I would highly suggest you try out their free tutorials and you’ll see why this is the app to stick with.
16. [R100] 5/5 · US Thoughts on the app: I love this app because it’s truly helped me learn a different language I have tried other apps but they didn’t help me at all but this one dose and you don’t have to pay for it which i love but I love this app so much because it’s helped me on my journey of learning Korean.
17. [R14] 1/5 · US Misleading Charges: There’s supposed to be a 7-day free trial before the actual subscription, yet I got charged directly and could not get a refund.
18. [R20] 1/5 · US 7 day free trial: They charge you day one then you can’t cancel
19. [R30] 1/5 · US Don’t ever give them your CC info: I disputed a $49.99 charge from Promova for a subscription that I canceled on the same day it was charged. I did not intend to continue the subscription beyond the initial period, and I canceled immediately after realizing the renewal. I have not used the service after canceling. I attempted to contact the company multiple times by email and phone to request a
20. [R35] 2/5 · US Charged for cancelling free trial: I didn’t like the product. It was about the same as Duolingo but with much more repetition for the same four words. I cancelled within a week of the free trial starting. Naturally, I get charged $22.04 for the subscription anyway. Subpar app and I got scammed, great.
21. [R5] 2/5 · US Can’t understand me: When I speak in Spanish the app takes the words I say if there is an English equivalent and puts that instead. For example, I said “si” so they wrote “see”. There is no way to fix what you say in the chat when AI gets it wrong. Super frustrating. Also why are we talking about soccer? Is it because of the World Cup? If I didn’t already know about soccer in English I would hav
22. [R28] 3/5 · US Poor AI: I’ve studied French extensively, including with four native speakers. The AI in this app is very poor. I speak clearly with a good French accent according to all of my teachers but the AI misunderstood me multiple times. I’m canceling my trial subscription.
23. [R37] 1/5 · US Talking with AI partner: Often, the AI doesn’t hear well what I say. My words are often transcribed incorrectly. This makes it hard to maintain my motivation to practice conversations.
24. [R43] 2/5 · US AI is useless: The regular learning is fine but the AI learning is a joke. It almost never interactúa as it doesn’t hear what you are saying. So far it has not done anything
25. [R1] 1/5 · US Promising start but course is super short and worthless: I liked the program and decided to subscribe. Imagine my dissatisfaction when I found out the whole Japanese course was about one week worth of learning. There is nothing beyond that. And advertised AI mode is not available by the way. So definitely false advertisement
26. [R4] 3/5 · US Arabic Is Worthless: The Arabic lessons have tons of bugs in them. Functionality is a pain. Beyond that the grammar and vocabulary is a bit off. I have friends who speak Arabic and they looked and told me to not waste my time.
27. [R6] 2/5 · US Confused or False advertising?: I downloaded the app for Korean. It shows you the dialogue on the ad but when you do the modules, you don’t see the dialogue or text practices. I am somewhere past beginner level and just about intermediate, but the app is limited to what they say “intermediate” but I would say it’s pretty beginner level vocabulary and grammar. At least advertise what you offer just
28. [R8] 1/5 · US Translation lacking: Many words have no meaning addressed. I have to have a translate app to even know whatI’m talking about.
29. [R19] 1/5 · US These lessons make no sense: I’ve been using Duolingo to learn French for a while, but thought I’d check this out to improve my speech. I’m intermediate level, but the first “lesson” assumed I was advanced because I didn’t understand any of it. So I chose Beginner level to see how it would proceed, and the first “lesson” drilled me on a bunch of soccer/football equipment and terminology. I doubt t
30. [R23] 1/5 · US Terrible format: A beginner French lesson expects you to know vocabulary for a football (soccer) match.
31. [R25] 2/5 · US Made no sense!: So started teaching me in a way I liked except I started learning soccer terms… which likely won’t help me in France and after feeling good about the few French soccer words AI chats starts asking me about the weather in the lesson. In full sentences using none of the vocabulary it taught me in the first lesson and wanting me to respond in French sentences. Super weird. I will canc
32. [R46] 3/5 · US Opinion thus far: This app is just okay. I have been using Duolingo for the last year (learning Spanish) and wanted something that included opportunities for dialogue as well as learning new words, etc. I selected Promova based on reviews, and sadly, I am a bit disappointed in the app. It is not as intuitive as I hoped, the graphics are not particularly helpful (and at times confusing), and the le
33. [R2] 1/5 · US Avoid: Poor product, there are much better options out there. And their unsubscribe button doesn’t work on the many many promo emails.
34. [R7] 1/5 · US Subscription: I used the free app, and when the time ran out, they couldn't charge me and blocked my access to downloading other programs. Customer support keeps passing the buck. · translated
35. [R79] 1/5 · US Unfair Auto-Renewal and Complicated Refund Process: I used this app to study English for a year with a subscription. After canceling it, I was surprised to find that three months later, the subscription was automatically renewed for another year, and the money was withdrawn from my account, without my consent. When I contacted support, they explained that I was subscribed through some hidden pro
36. [R118] 1/5 · AU No easy to cancel: Don’t download this if you don’t want to have a hard time cancelling,. There is no option to cancel in the app, so I contacted “support” and she can’t even find my subscription, on top of that is asking for credit card details or PayPal. I am sorry but this is definitely a red flag for me.
37. [R26] 4/5 · US Good app, but I don't like the advertising: It feels strange to me that then you are paying $99 subscription, you still have to watch two ads after every lesson🤦🏻‍♀️
38. [R59] 2/5 · US All interesting subjects require an additional payment: I am feeling frustrated with the app. The Promova advertisement that I saw on Instagram showed more features than what I actually have access to. For example, all the subjects I’m interested in are considered "special courses" and require an additional payment. I don’t think that’s fair, and I’m considering canceling my subscription. Thank yo
39. [R97] 3/5 · US signed for the special: the package i purchased was not what i thought, they commute to try to upsell me further content.
40. [R99] 1/5 · US Nina: It’s the worst app and it’s a scam, at first they charge you 12$ for one month and then if you want to open any lesson you need pay more. Don’t buy it.
41. [R11] 4/5 · US Great app: I do think the “Say it with shadowing lessons would be better if you had to speak into the microphone, that way you could get feedback.
42. [R13] 4/5 · US Getting there: I love the operation and general feeling of this app. I wish it had a review and speaking features.
43. [R3] 1/5 · US Great if you like onboarding screens: This application is a master class in onboarding screens. Took about three minutes before I even saw anything related to language learning. There are better resources don't waste your time or money.
44. [R75] 1/5 · US False promises: They wrongly advertise it on IG, as “learn through reading”, where in reality it’s just like an expensive version of Duolingo.
45. [R39] 1/5 · US SCAM- beware!: In order to sign up for the free trial week, I had to sign up for a sub Subscription. But they immediately billed me, with no free trial at all. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to rate it as zero stars
