1. [R44] 3/5 · US It’s ok: Using it along side green owl. Pro- only ads when you choose to watch them for energy (free member) - but I would use a recharge through the day method and not just ads. Not when each task uses so much energy. Sometimes you can only do two things before you need to recharge again. A lot of the level rewards are locked behind premium so they’re locked behind paywall. I found some of the c
2. [R54] 2/5 · US You need energy to play: To play and to learn, you need “energy.” You can buy more energy as an option. But without having to buy anything you only get about 3 minutes of game play a day without the energy. Not really worth it if you can’t play.
3. [R115] 3/5 · US Fine, not enough energy: First of all, it does score big points over Duolingo for not having ai voices or ai generated content. The lessons and underlying game seem okay. But the energy system is way too restrictive. I barely started and already got slapped with “watch an ad or buy premium to continue”. It would be nice if energy went further.
4. [R200] 2/5 · US Not enough daily energy: This is a fun way to learn another language and I was really looking forward to using it to help with my Spanish vocab and phrases, but I am disappointed with how little I can play the game per day without paying money or watching ads. I can only do two or three lessons per day! I leave the lesson feeling like I could do double, triple, or even four times as much. This w
5. [R1] 2/5 · US Watching ads doesn’t replenish stamina: I like the premise and this app seems promising, but i don’t like how i tried to watch ads 3 times to replenish stamina and it didn’t work. I don’t mind watching ads to get stamina, but when it doesn’t work it limits how much you can do in this app.
6. [R34] 4/5 · US Ads don’t work; still fun: As the title says. Would have given 5 stars had there been no issues with the ads not working
7. [R242] 3/5 · US App is fun but extremely limited: I enjoy the gamified approach to language learning and the interface is very cute, but the free version is extremely limited. You can only do a couple lessons a day before you run out of energy, and once you hit that pay wall all game play essentially ceases, and you won’t replenish energy until the next day. You can watch ads to get more energy but these are capp
8. [R254] 2/5 · GB Good...: But there needs to be an option to watch more ads for energy. You can only watch about 4 before you can't anymore. Also the naalas are not random. If you breed one they all look similar for a while until eventually a different combination happens.
9. [R15] 4/5 · US So far, so good!: I haven’t been playing long, I’m only level 3, but I do feel like I’m learning and in a fun way! The premium costs are monthly and way too high, I’d happily pay a higher one-time price for premium content with possible micro transactions along the way, but without knowing how long I’ll play it, it’s too much to commit to for a monthly price. I am enjoying it, but still on what se
10. [R84] 2/5 · US Endless In App Purchases: I purchased the lifetime subscription thinking that would 1: allow for family sharing with more than one kid on my account being able to play and 2: that it would end the IAPs. I was wrong on both counts. Only one child can have a username and play. The game pushes monthly purchases on the kids even after you pay for lifetime. Too bad.
11. [R210] 1/5 · US Charged twice!!!: Bought the lifetime subscription and had a problem with it the app hung and wouldn’t open. I went and deleted the app to reinstall it. It charged me a SECOND TIME to get it back! Not happy!
12. [R283] 3/5 · GB Great game but..: Fantastic game, and a great concept but very expensive. I realise that a lot of work goes into creating apps such as these but I feel perhaps the energy system could be a bit more generous. 50 energy max that fills back up throughout the day in gradients ? 10 per hour or something ? I’d love to be able to afford to buy unlimited on the game but unfortunately it’s way out of my pr
13. [R20] 2/5 · US Fun but: It’s really fun to play the game but there’s the issue it’s more of a game and less of a learning tool. I’m left confused as to why there’s so many inefficiencies, why have a write it feature and not have the ability to write it when you get it wrong, when you have adhd the inconvenience of having to write it when you get it wrong is really good motivation to focus and pay attention to wh
14. [R342] 2/5 · CA More game than learning: Little disappointed that it’s more wallet draining mobile game than it is language tool. Didn’t expect a whole detailed lesson, but the balance is way too heavy on the game side of things. Sad, because it’s cute. Ah well.
15. [R2] 5/5 · US On thing: I love the game but for some reason the guild I’m in it keeps like re showing what someone said last and for some reason it won’t let me talk in the guild it keeps glitching and the numbers keep popping up telling me someone said something new but it’s still the same thing if this could be fixed that would be great :) other than that 5/5 stars this is a must get app! Litterly not seen an
16. [R9] 5/5 · US Expansion: Would love for Turkish to be added! This is the only app I want a phone addiction for. Way more engaging and easier to remember new words when reward centers are engaged
17. [R10] 5/5 · US Broke Students Opinion:: I downloaded this game because I’m constantly playing mobile games to keep myself busy between walking, conversations, social settings. I’m a slave to the quick dopamine my phone gives me. I wanted to find a game that at least helped me feel like I was gaining something meaningful to the real world. And then I found this app on a Facebook add of all places between all the
18. [R14] 5/5 · US Enjoyable: The game is well crafted and fun so far. It would be cool to have two separate farms to switch between if you want to do two languages at once.
19. [R4] 5/5 · US So far, so good!: New player here! I’ve been looking for an AI-free alternative to Duolingo, and I think I’ve found it! Their yearly subscription is much cheaper than theirs as well! Looking forward to making Lingo Legend a part of my daily routine!
20. [R17] 5/5 · US Can't praise this app enough: No ads unless you want them, the art and story is cute, the language practice is made by real teachers, and i’m having such a good time:)
21. [R18] 5/5 · US Hell yeah :3: Doesn’t use ai this is awesome and a fun way to learn, much better than Duolingo
22. [R23] 5/5 · US Adorable and effective: I can’t give enough compliments to the team for this app. The combination of no AI and the gamified learning makes this a productive, enjoyable, and stress-free way to spend time off work. How often do you get to have this kind of fun and check off a New Year’s resolution of language fluency?
23. [R12] 5/5 · US Humble Creators: I came in this app thinking I’d be hit with a subscription or a free trial and not be able to actually learn on the app for FREE. I thought maybe ad supported for free users at least like Duolingo? But no. It’s way better. The content is free and you’re not being bombarded with ads AT ALL. Not only that the creators after I do watch an ad, they say thanks for the support or someth
24. [R39] 5/5 · US Great mechanics for cozy gamers & 10/10 customer service!!!!: First, they have some of the best customer service I’ve ever received for any app or language service I’ve used in general. I tried a trial promo but there was a glitch and Apple still charged me. The email support was very prompt to look into it, give me detailed next step on how to address it with Apple, and then apologize for the inc
25. [R45] 5/5 · US Amazing: This app is literally so amazing ive never wrote a review i think until this app because it’s genuinely that good… this is the only language app that does flood you with ads and begging you to buy the premium option to remove ads and let you learn more 😽 the only time i have to watch ads is to refill the stamina thing and that still lasts a while till i have to watch another ad this is li
26. [R3] 5/5 · US Updated: Support Cares: I had reached out to them to tell them that the space recognition only repeats the first few phrases and never seems to get beyond numbers. They recognized there was an issue with this and informed me of both how to navigate the issue for now and that they have plans to roll out an update that fixes this so you don’t have to fix it the long way. The characters are incred
27. [R5] 5/5 · US THE BEST language app: It definitely won’t teach an entire language from scratch, completely on its own, but it’s my favorite vocab app I’ve ever used
28. [R27] 5/5 · US The best game to learn a new language!: I’ve tried many times and many different ways to find interest in learning a new language. Lingo Legends is exactly what I needed to kickstart my journey. Within just a couple months, my Spanish has improved tremendously. I’ve learned tons of new vocabulary, I feel confident in basic conversation and it’s given me a foundation to build off of with other lang
29. [R28] 5/5 · US Every Day: In order to get the most out of this is you have to learn from it every day! I really love this app because I can not only learn but actually retain what I learned! I’ve been on this app for about 2 weeks and I already have well over 12-15 words and characters retained! Now if I go a few days without learning anything I’ll start to lose what I learned! So you gotta stay with it every da
30. [R38] 5/5 · US Excellent for practice: This reviews is for Mandarin specifically, as learning it requires a lot of additional materials that this app doesn’t currently have. I think languages that don’t have a different writing system are probably better served with this app. This has been an excellent app for getting me to practice mandarin. I specify practice because it doesn’t have any writing components, s
31. [R7] 1/5 · US Where’s my Norwegian: Please please please add Norwegian I’ve been learning it and recently found you app and thought it was cool but you guys don’t have the language😭 I would really appreciate if you added that language and others to get a bigger audience as well.
32. [R8] 2/5 · US Please add turkish 😭😭😭: adding turkish would be sooo awesome! the game details and mechanics are so cute, and would definitely motivate me to learn. I wish turkish was available to learn
33. [R13] 4/5 · US Amazing game overall: Really fun, all the features are well thought out and executed. The only reason I rated this game four stars is that it had a lack of language options. Please Lingo Legend team, if you’re seeing this, add Swedish lessons into the game!
34. [R21] 3/5 · US More languages: It’s a great app. It makes the learning fun and easy which I enjoy however they don’t offer a whole lot and the one language I want to learn they don’t have available. I really want them to add Norwegian to the list as I would like to keep learning with the app.
35. [R36] 5/5 · US Offer individual language licenses: I really like that you guys offer a one time purchase option but it’s still very expensive, if you would offer the ability to one time purchase full access to a single language I would definitely be willing to do that and I’m sure others feel the same
36. [R19] 1/5 · US Sound: There’s no sound?
37. [R47] 4/5 · US Amazing!: I absolutely love this game! It’s made a world of a difference in my learning Korean journey, and keeps me motivated while also challenging me. My only criticism is how you have to have your device off of silent mode to hear any sound from the game- I am the sort of person that hardly ever has her sound on, and any notifications or text messages get in the way of the game experience, wh
38. [R110] 3/5 · US kinda sad: when i downloaded it i couldnt hear ANYTHING. i turned up my vol all the way and still couldn’t hear. i deleted it and downloaded it again still nothing. i dont know if it was a glitch or something but im very sad because it looked like a cool app
39. [R192] 1/5 · US Audio doesn’t work on iPhone 15 pro: Not sure why. It’s a basic feature to have audio… no settings to fix it.
