1. [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.
2. [R20] 1/5 · US 7 day free trial: They charge you day one then you can’t cancel
3. [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
4. [R40] 1/5 · US Huge Scam: Promos lied about the 7 day free trial and refuses to refund stating its apple’s fault like they don't get paid. The app is full of ads asking for more money so I never got past the additional charges. Apple was of no help
5. [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.
6. [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
7. [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.
8. [R71] 1/5 · US Scam charging: When I canceled subscription and deleted the app confirm with support member. But few month later, they charged again and it says still your subscription is active. That’s terrible. No explanation. They still have my info and trying to charge forever once you make subscription. Can’t never cancelled. So scared.
9. [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
10. [R67] 2/5 · US Annoyingly limited content: I signed up for Portuguese, and paid $60 for six months to get ready for my trip to Portugal. It took me less than a week to finish all the lessons that were available at 10 minutes or so a day. There are only four units, and there seems to be no way to progress from beginner to any other level. This was a waste of money. I want my $60 back.
11. [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
12. [R63] 2/5 · US Nice for practicing: The only thing I have to say is that all the good stuff they showed us on the Ads are not actually on the plan so you have to pay additional money for those … like learning with video of your favorite series.
13. [R66] 1/5 · US Very low-quality language learning app: Overpriced and false advertising, the Facebook ad that took me to the app showed something completely different. Low quality and wayyy overpriced for what it offers.
14. [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🤦🏻‍♀️
15. [R74] 2/5 · US Teaching should not business: For best service in teaching is not to take just money, it’s about make things to understandable. I saw many individuals courses have different packages. I knew that the hard work behind this but I don’t see anything better than free application provides. But here it’s more expensive than others. Make it good deal with affordable budget, and more features is needed.
16. [R92] 3/5 · US Espantosa!: Es una trampa! Todo cobran, no te dejan avanzar, es un verdadero robo! NO LA RECOMIENDO.
17. [R105] 1/5 · US I don’t know how this is different than Duolingo: This app is no different from anything else that I have tried. I wouldn’t recommend
18. [R69] 2/5 · US Free, ads are a must to get lesson: I understand this model I would much rather they request an ad per unit rather than give you one lesson and then force you to a paywall if you want to learn more on this app. But I also find it kind of inconvenient to always need to watch an ad to continue. It’s already kind of tough to find the time while in college to take the time to go onto a learning app. W
19. [R238] 3/5 · US Not free ☹️: I wanted to learn ASL and the first 5 lessons and videos were kinda helpful. After that, I had to watch an ad for every video or lesson OR I could’ve gotten the Promova membership which of course costs money 🙄. If you pay money for it, it could probably be a pretty good game 😌. So I had to delete it because I never pay for any apps. (Except Spotify.) So if you don’t wanna pay money, p
20. [R537] 3/5 · CA Crazy amount of ads: The app is fine but the ads are extremely prohibitive to getting into the flow of learning. There’s one at the beginning and end of every lesson. They make it as annoying as possible so you’ll pay for it.
21. [R221] 3/5 · US Have to pay extra for too many add ons even with subscriptions: I would prefer the 12 week $39.99 option came with all the add ons included. Why do I have to pay $7.99 to add on a course with role playing called “small talk”. I want to dive into that right away. It would be better if I could try all the content during this 12 weeks to see if I want to keep the subscription.
22. [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 😻✌🏽
23. [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.
24. [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 !
25. [R56] 5/5 · US Great language app: This is the best language app I have used so far. It helps with vocabulary in a manner that is just repetitive enough that you learn, but doesn’t overdo it. I especially love the open dialogue where you have to come up with conversation on your own, and then you get feedback. Great app.
26. [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!
27. [R76] 5/5 · US Difficult: Excelent app it is a lot vocabulary, grama is very important, nice job with the IA, make me fell more confident and beginning improve my English
28. [R81] 5/5 · US Best for real progress: I have a very basic knowledge of French, I’ve been doing Duolingo for a while. I downloaded Promova just to test it out. My favorite thing about Promova is the role-playing exercises where I get to use my own thought process processes to build sentences and it gives real feedback on my usage of words and grammar, etc. It’s the perfect balance of structure and freedom for my
29. [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.
30. [R51] 5/5 · US Fun way to relearn Spanish: Years ago I studied Spa ish. I decided to use this app to help refresh my memory and help me work on being fluent. I like the lessons, the vocabulary words, the graphics. Whether you are a beginner or expert, this app is great!
31. [R34] 5/5 · US It works: I’ve been working hard to learn French for 2 years I’m A2 but I have a heard time remembering certain things. This app teaches me a second language the same why I learned my first language. It’s exactly what I’ve been asking for all along. It works the way my brain works. I’m happy.
32. [R60] 5/5 · US Loving Promova: I have tried several other apps but this one has really helped me grasp verb conjugation. I like how interactive it is as well.
33. [R41] 1/5 · US BEWARE HUGE SCAM!: I signed up for the 7 day free trial and was charged $89.99 and on the same day tried to cancel and was told it is not eligible for cancelation. The app is full of ads asking for more money. It was unusable. Apple is no help either and I no longer trust the apps on the Apple Store.
34. [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
35. [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.
36. [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
37. [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.
38. [R49] 2/5 · US I didn’t teach me Korean: It automatically made me read Hangul and asked me to identify what it was without a picture… I wouldn’t recomwnd if u can’t read Hangul
