1. [R6] 5/5 · US I love this app!: I typically don’t take the time to write reviews but this app is amazing! I’ve been longing to become fluent but have fallen into the inconsistency loop several times. Finding that apps don’t really engage me or make me feel like I’m actually advancing in conversation, but this app is amazing. I’m enjoying that it feels like an actual game but I’m able to hold real conversations.
2. [R7] 5/5 · US Helpful: Nice to actually practice speaking. Best app yet.
3. [R10] 5/5 · US LOVE!: I am SO HAPPY that I found this app. I work with tutors in the languages I study, but tutoring is expensive and difficult to fit around my work schedule. This app is an ideal supplement. It keeps my speaking fluency fresh even when I only have time for ten minutes here and there. And it’s so much fun to chat with my new little avatar buddies and learn their backstories! Lingolooper is easil
4. [R11] 5/5 · US Best conversational approach in an app: Love it! You can translate on the spot if needed and it gives instant feedback and suggestions to improve your skill.
5. [R16] 5/5 · US Simply brilliant.: The only thing this app doesn’t offer is dedicated lessons. Just practice. But otherwise it’s fantastic for vocal practice, grammar practice, and building vocabulary.
6. [R19] 5/5 · US Fabulous app!!!: Absolutely fantasic app! Now with this new feature "pronunciation hint" studying chinese became so much more prouctive and pleaseant. Simon the developer is a very nice guy and he is always available to receive feedback to constantly improve this app. It was really nice to meet him and this app.
7. [R44] 5/5 · US Great app: This app really helps immerse you in the language. I feel like I’m getting farther in my understanding and speaking every time I use it. I really appreciate it explaining all the different rules of the language I’m learning and explaining what I got wrong and why
8. [R8] 5/5 · US Es divertido: Bro, it's literally too much fun and you're free on the app, you can like it or wrong and talk about whatever you want, if you can learn the language that way only if you put effort into it
9. [R9] 5/5 · US Exactly what I’ve been looking for!: Finally something that includes Turkish with the practice of a normal conversation dialogue, in the form of a cute game! It’s amazing to see a beta version and I can’t wait to see what the official release will bring!
10. [R21] 5/5 · US Love this app!: I’ve wanted to learn French for 15 years but I never make the time for it. Now with this app, I can do it on my commute and it’s actually fun! Conversations are the best way to learn a language for me. This app does a great job at making fluid conversations for the users, while also providing valuable feedback. I wish the feedback could be spoken aloud, since I usually play in the
11. [R74] 3/5 · US Good until you are forced to pick a paid plan.: You get to start out with two “loops” for free. A loop in this program is a whole conversation about whatever topic you showed interest in, at whatever fluency level you indicated. For a beginner this is “my name’s maria, what’s yours?” “what are you doing in barcelona?” etc After you do your two, you’re done until you get a “free 1 week trial” t
12. [R82] 5/5 · US Amazing: This is actually phenomenal. I’m so impressed and I can’t wait for it to get better and include more languages. I might actually purchase the whole year after the trial. It’s highly responsive, intuitive… I tried it out in French first because I’m only a little fluent. It quickly adjusted to my level. Then I did another loop in Spanish, my native language, which is not the best right now
13. [R24] 5/5 · US Conversation Practice: i’m learning russian. this app is great way to get the feel of conversing in a language without having to constantly worry about scheduling with real people IRL. it’s not the best app to learn grammar, but that’s not what i got it for. i got it to practice speaking in natural situations and pick up on more vocabulary, which is exactly what it does. great investment. one less
14. [R26] 5/5 · US Just Started & Thrilled: Half the battle of learning languages is just starting to speak. I have a tutor twice a week, but getting comfortable speaking to others is always hard. I’m excited to use this to start thinking on my feet and being comfortable just trying to come up with sentences and ideas to keep the conversation going. Love this app so far and can’t wait to continue improving because o
15. [R83] 5/5 · US Can practice without fear: I’m usually nervous to talk native people or practice my spanish. This way I can practice without feeling embarrassed, Ilove how you can see feedback and see what you could’ve said. I’ve only been using it for a couple days now but it’s awesome :p
16. [R3] 3/5 · US Awesome app but I have to buy: The app works wonderfully I love the concept but I can only do two talks before I can’t use it anymore because I need to buy it. Can you make it free?
17. [R15] 2/5 · US Useless unless you pay: You can’t use it at all unless you pay Dont get me wrong it is an AMAZING app to learn and speak but for younger people and people who are trying to save money to them I would not recommend but I would definitely recommend the free trial
18. [R25] 1/5 · US Misleading: The app is good enough app but do not download if you are not willing to pay for it after trying the features once you are unable to do anything without having subscribe. which to me is false advertisement
19. [R32] 3/5 · US There’s some potential: I enjoyed the free loops you can try out- it seems like an effective way to practice over time. I just wish there were a free version/ads in exchange for free loops or something for those who can’t pay.
20. [R34] 4/5 · US Funsies!!!: for sure no doubt!! Although as a broke college student it’s nowhere near affordable. I had fun for a week maybe picked up on a few words and practiced my current majoring language
21. [R35] 2/5 · US Too expensive: Tried it out and seems like a really cool concept, perfect for the type of practice I’m looking for. Unfortunately it’s not very cheap and there’s no free version of it.
22. [R39] 1/5 · US seems cool but very expensive: The app seemed cool but yet another learning app you must pay so much for. Will anyone ever make an affordable language learning app?😢 Back to duolingo i go
23. [R2] 3/5 · US Add Gaelic pls: Seems like a good app but plsss add Gaelic
24. [R13] 5/5 · US Polyglot enjoying the app: As a polyglot I am enjoying this app that I find fantastic. If I may make suggestions for perfection: 1- add a chat option, to allow people to practice their writing skills 2-add Arabic dialects (Egyptian/lebanese…) 3-add Maltese (the only Semitic language in Europe, a mix of Tunisian dialect Italian and English) These are just minor nitpicks but the app itself is
25. [R40] 3/5 · US Great app, but needs more languages: I like this app a lot, it’s really helping me with my Korean and I’m more of a visual and interactive learner, however they have languages that all language learning apps have, I would definitely use this app A LOT more if they had bangla. This app would definitely be a 5 star if they had more languages, but overall a good app.
26. [R56] 3/5 · US Wrong Spanish: I like the layout, and the interaction of the app. I don’t need to learn Spanish from Spain, I need Spanish from Mexico.
27. [R5] 1/5 · US Deleted within a few minutes of download: App get stuck in speaking mode. Happened several times despite force quitting the app and reopening it. Deleted the app within 15 minutes of downloading it.
28. [R109] 1/5 · US idk: won’t let me speak when i hold it down and let go it just says “error during speech to text conversation”
29. [R126] 3/5 · US Too much Food talk: I like this app, but I’m disappointed by the unrealistic and constant food metaphors. This is incredibly annoying. There also seems to be a glitch in which responses are not spoken back to me; I have to wait for the text to appear from the ai character, this of course is not ideal for an expensive speaking practice app.
30. [R166] 3/5 · US Great Potential, but Performance Issues Need Fixing: This app has so much potential! As a beginner learning French, I appreciate that it caters to all skill levels, making it suitable for learners at any stage. I particularly love how it analyzes what you say, provides grammatical corrections, and suggests alternative ways to express yourself. However, I’ve noticed significant delays in the avata
31. [R47] 1/5 · US I don’t really like it: You might think I’m crazy for this but I think it’s valid when I joined the app it gave me options I chose Japanese to learn the language and they asked me where I was and I put I’m just starting and the character just starts speaking in Japanese I don’t even know what it’s saying and what I don’t like is that you guys don’t let us pick our own avatars I don’t want a boy to
32. [R70] 3/5 · US It’s good if you know the language: I tried to do mandarin on it but it only gives translations for full sentences or bad explanations of separate characters, so it is hard to learn a language you don’t know or that doesn’t use your writing system, but for french I know a lot and use it to refresh my memory and for that it’s great. Also you only get 2 lessons a day i think and then you have to pay
33. [R76] 5/5 · US Its okay but: I picked mandarin but they don’t have pinyin, so I wouldn’t know if I am pronouncing it right
34. [R200] 2/5 · GB Not good: Such a bad app. Looks great but it just speaks to you in the language you want to learn and expects you to know what they are saying. It then wants you to reply in the language but you don’t know the language so how can you. Also it won’t let you leave a bad review only above 2 stars . Very bad
35. [R4] 1/5 · US Great initially but can’t access now: I’ve been using the app for at least a couple of years now and have recommended it to a lot of friends. I’ve also carried an annual subscription, last renewed in January. However I just got a new phone and am unable to sign in with errors saying my account doesn’t exist. I also reached to app support a week ago and have never heard back. The app is great -
36. [R122] 1/5 · US Is family subscriptions an option?: I purchased this app as it says family sharing is an option. My husband and I both want to use it. However when he signs in it is asking for another subscription purchase. There is no way that I can find to contact the developer so hoping this let’s them know. Either say you can’t use family subscriptions or not so I know. Also please make it easier to get help.
37. [R86] 2/5 · US Not deaf friendly: This app requires you to speak on microphone, definitely not deaf friendly app. Please add something that we deaf people can use. This looks interesting and I want to play it but I can’t speak like a hearing.
38. [R271] 2/5 · CA It not friendly: But that app good to learn but I’m deaf and I couldn’t speak but it’s not deaf-friendly so what’s about autism that couldn’t speak but they want learn others countries
39. [R36] 1/5 · US Free Trial gone?: My subscriptions shows that I have a week free trial but it went away after two days. Also the kanji listed will have the wrong meaning and pronunciation for the conversation. This is basically a worse version of ChatGPT.
40. [R45] 1/5 · US Double charges: I was immediately charge for the “free trial” and am being told I’ll be charged again in a week. Scam
41. [R18] 4/5 · US Good app: This app was really helpful until I realized it wasn’t free. I would’ve hundred percent keep using it if it was.
42. [R100] 2/5 · US You have to pay: this app is an amazing concept!! but you can only do 3 lessons before having to subscribe. It should be like 3 free conversations per day then having the subscription to unlock more. Unfortunately I’m going to delete it since I’m unable to pay for it, but it seems like a great app.
43. [R73] 3/5 · US More Languages: I wish there were more language options. My husband speaks Arabic and it would be so nice to expand my skills to communicate with his family.
44. [R87] 1/5 · US 90% European languages: I download this app to learn Tamil, and to my "surprise" there's only Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Viet. Go figure. No Thai, Malay, not even Hindi, yet there is Turkish and Greek. Are Turkish and Greek widely spoken nowadays?
45. [R179] 1/5 · US App fails to open: Doesn’t open on iPad
