  1. [R2] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US surprisingly good.: Fun gameplay, concise explanations and polite devs. I’d recommend it
  2. [R4] Lingo Legend Language Learning 1/5 · US Exclusive: There’s only a limited selection of languages I was looking forward to see if they had Irish only to see they had like seven languages they need an update
  3. [R5] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US I love learning games!: I wish there were more games with different subjects like this game!
  4. [R8] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US Love it!!: This is an app I see myself playing for a very long time to come! Serious language learners, don’t get discouraged by the long tutorial that is only in english! There will be plenty of language learning to come! And you’ll start to love and care for you Naala and farm :))) To the development team: Great game! And awesome job, you can really feel the love and care and the heart that wa
  5. [R13] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US a fun way to learn!: ong this is such an awesome way to learn a language (working on italian rn) and the gameplay is so whimsical it makes me actually motivated to learn
  6. [R15] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US Having fun!: I’m having a lot of fun and I think because I am getting this app when it first came out there’s not a lot of you have to buy in order to play and so I feel like I’m having a lot of fun playing a game because it’s like I have to memorize the characters in move on in the game and it’s really fun 10 out of 10. What I recommend
  7. [R17] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US Fantastic: That lowkey sounds like a bit but I have tried Duolingo and a bunch of other apps and this one is soooo fun and it’s actually teaching me stuff
  8. [R3] Lingo Legend Language Learning 3/5 · US Bug 😓: Loving it so far, but it freezes me out every time it teaches the first radical (shou) in mandarin, no matter which game play I’m attempting it in. Couldn’t find where to put a bug report, so here it goes 🤷🏼
  9. [R14] Lingo Legend Language Learning 1/5 · GB Mid at best: Was okay. They really push you to pay for their premium but it’s not worth it without a free trial because you don’t know if you’ll get bored or get locked out of the game. Oh yeh. The game stopped working after a few hours and I had to delete and reinstall. The fact I had to do all that already means it’s not worth even the free version
  10. [R16] Lingo Legend Language Learning 2/5 · GB Really fun but extremely limited: The app is really fun & I haven’t seen any issues yet which is impressive since my phone is a really old model and usually runs terribly. The game would be a 5/5 if I could afford membership. However, as a free player I’m extremely limited in how much I can do each day. Energy doesn’t recharge passively but instead resets daily, which is a shame because at 15 tota
  11. [R20] Lingo Legend Language Learning 1/5 · GB App doesn’t open: Every time I try to open the app it would have a black screen then close out the app. I think it would be a great app but since I can’t open the app I have to rate 1 star.
  12. [R1] Lingo Legend Language Learning 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.
  13. [R6] Lingo Legend Language Learning 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
  14. [R7] Lingo Legend Language Learning 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.
  15. [R10] Lingo Legend Language Learning 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.
  16. [R19] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US legit and solid business practices too: This is the first app for languages that I feel like I'm learning more than just vocab. Also, if you buy the lifetime membership, instead of letting you forget to turn off your subscription and therefore get more money, the app prompts you as soon as you open it again to go cancel your subscription! So, between actually helping with my spanish learning, th
  17. [R21] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US best app. you will not find better: EVERYTHING about about this app is perfect. they use art by real artists. they have so many different languages to choose from, including canadian french, russian, chinese, etc. they even cared enough to separate the languages by dialect. there's so much content. they include audio from actual native speakers. their support is great. the developers actually care
  18. [R40] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US I was NOT expecting it to be this good: I downloaded it to learn some Spanish for an upcoming test, and was not expecting to get addicted. It’s like Prodigy but better!
  19. [R47] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US THE best language learning app: I’ve been trying to learn Korean for a while, very on and off, but no app has helped me to actually learn and understand the language like this app. It’s so much better than Duolingo. The creators of this app have the curriculum set up in a very logical way unlike Duolingo which is so random in what you learn where one minute you’re learning vocabulary and the next
  20. [R23] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US Better than Duolingo so far!: I’ve only just started my journey, but so far I already think this will be a very effective tool for myself and I look forward to seeing where the story goes ☺️
  21. [R48] Lingo Legend Language Learning 5/5 · US Finally!: After many years of trying to learn Spanish using all the expensive and lengthy courses, I FINALLY can understand and speak it! I’m on day 70 and I highly recommend this app if you are trying to less new language! My boyfriend is highly surprised how much I have learned compared to Rosetta Stone or similar apps. I worry about my Llamas not being taken care of thus I am forced to go in an
