Recurring themes

Misleading Pricing negative
Many users are upset because the app is advertised as free but quickly requires a paid subscription, often after a very short trial, leading to feelings of being scammed. Some report high weekly costs and unauthorized charges even after cancellation.R6R9R28R40
AI Tutor Quality mixed
While many praise the AI tutor for being interactive, patient, and helpful for practice, some find it robotic, mispronouncing words, or not accommodating different accents and dialects. The developer notes mention 'Learna AI is now better than ever,' but recent reviews still mention robotic sounds and accent issues.R4R11R17R19
Limited Language Options negative
Users are disappointed by the limited number of languages offered, primarily English and Spanish, especially when they expect or are led to believe other languages like Tamil, Arabic, or Russian are available.R62R117R212R798
Technical Issues negative
Some users report bugs, freezing, issues with voice recognition, or the app switching languages unexpectedly.R387R540R581R682

Who it's for

This app is for individuals looking for an interactive AI-driven tutor to practice English or Spanish, particularly those who value conversational practice and don't mind paying for a subscription R4R17R19. It is not for users seeking a completely free language learning experience, those who need to learn languages other than English or Spanish, or those sensitive to American accents R28R62R269R798.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily towards negative feedback regarding the pricing model, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. Many positive reviews are very short and generic, while negative reviews are detailed about pricing and feature limitations. The developer's notes about AI improvements are contradicted by some recent reviews mentioning robotic AI voices.

  6. [R44] 5/5 · US Might be the best out right now.: Im just getting started with this app after an almost year long streak with duo lingo. I’ve tried YouTube videos also…so far this app is the best. The entire app is put together very well. Some great things to look forward to: 1.The interaction with the Tudor feels very much like a human interaction. 2. If you still don’t understand after the explanation you
  7. [R16] 5/5 · US Learning Spanish: It’s a great tool to use to get you started on your journey to learn to speak Spanish
  8. [R17] 5/5 · US I love this!: This has teached me SO much more Spanish. And its made me more comfortable to speak. A lot of people dont like the accent but i dont mind it! 😊 This is very helpful and VERY recommended in my opinion. Make sure to allow notifications so you ALWAYS know its time to learn because i almost forgot! 😅 This is great and i think you should download it. 🤗 Have a great day!😛
  9. [R45] 5/5 · US Es perfecto: Me encanta de la manera en la que puedo practicar inglés todo el tiempo
  10. [R50] 5/5 · US Aprendiendo: Es lo mejor que he visto de aprendizaje en inglés voy aprender más rápido y mejor . Me gusta.
  11. [R9] 3/5 · US Es bueno: Es buena pero debes de pagar no es gratis
  12. [R28] 2/5 · US No Free: They said it’s free until you download it and you only get 7day free trial and then you’ll have to pay $20 a week crazy
  13. [R40] 1/5 · US Solo quieren $$$: Todo el tiempo quieren que pague semanalmente, No es gratis
  14. [R53] 4/5 · US Impressive, but NOT free: I was really looking forward to revitalizing my Spanish and building on it. The ads kept saying this is a free app, but unfortunately it isn’t. It’s very good, but please don’t advertise something as free when it is only a free trial. Extremely disappointing.
  15. [R6] 1/5 · US Scam: Will charge you even if you turned off autopay
  16. [R109] 1/5 · US Đã hủy đăng ký nhưng tháng nào cũng vẫn trừ: Đã hủy đăng ký nhưng tháng nào cũng vẫn trừ 4-5 tháng nay rồi
  17. [R162] 1/5 · US Expensive: Very expensive
  18. [R62] 2/5 · US No native language: It seems the app is still in progress and all the native languages are not available. My native language, Tamil, which is the oldest surviving functional language in the world spoken by 80 million people is not in the list so I cannot proceed. Hence I had to uninstall
  19. [R117] 1/5 · US Limited: Arabic is the 5th most spoken language in the world and this app only has four languages to learn.
  20. [R798] 3/5 · AU Don’t be fooled: Currently, they can only teach you English or Spanish. But I didn’t see this mentioned anywhere until going through the start-up wizard, where I discovered that I could not select to Learn Russian. So don’t be fooled, or make the same mistake that I made. Currently this app can only teach you English or Spanish.
  21. [R113] 3/5 · US Great way to explain topics: I love to have explanations in my native language but the ai is still learning my language and sound too robotic and mispronounced some words
  22. [R269] 3/5 · GB No English with British accent: This app has the same problem than most of the apps to improve English. They speak English with American accent which is no good if you are trying to improve your English in England. I’ve tried to say tho to the AI but it keeps talking in American accent
  23. [R513] 3/5 · CA Español latino: De ser posible me gustaría mejor oír español latino! Hasta hora se siente bien por eso la calificación
  24. [R786] 3/5 · AU Difficult use: The app doesn’t take into account regional or country dialects (I am learning in a Latin American accent of my wife’s country and it doesn’t translate this well.
  25. [R387] 3/5 · GB Good but not stand alone: This is a good app. As a complete beginner, it uses examples you may never need which is frustrating and also moves incredibly fast. I’m finding it difficult to keep up and have to use a book also. Also, the app keeps freezing
  26. [R540] 3/5 · CA Bien mais…: Obligé de répéter souvent, il entend pas bien pourtant j’ai le dernier iPhone???
  27. [R581] 3/5 · CA Bien: Il a des bogues et on fait pas de révision quand on veux retournée en arrière pour réviser il en a qui ne fonctionne même pas
  28. [R682] 3/5 · CA It doesn’t have any voices: The app doesn’t work properly
  29. [R11] 5/5 · US La mejor AI: Excelllent
  30. [R212] 3/5 · US A good app: It’s a good app but you have to sign in and there’s not that many options for languages
  31. [R65] 2/5 · US Trash: I don’t like this app because after a couple words and after a scenario, I’m trying to learn French, but I basically only learned sight words if you ask me and then it told me to do a free trial for only seven days most apps I use asked me to do a free trail for 30 days and it asked me for seven. This is ridiculous. I never use this app again. Please don’t use this app unless you want any t
  32. [R186] 1/5 · US Esperaba una app gratis no lo es: “La descargué porque el anuncio decía que era gratuita, pero al abrirla me pidió iniciar una prueba que se convierte en una suscripción de $14.99 por semana. Me hubiera gustado que esto se explicara claramente desde el prin
