Be Careful With the “Free Trial” Offer

By nohealex
I used this app over a year ago with a free trial and completely forgot about it. When I downloaded the app again, I was shown a free trial offer, so I accepted it. There was no warning that I had already used a free trial or that I was no longer eligible. Instead, I was immediately charged for a full year. If you’ve ever used this app before, be very careful before accepting a “free trial” offer again.
👌👌👍👍

Beginner lessons

The beginner lessons are too advanced and there’s not an option to learn the numbers in alphabets the things that we need to know first before starting into sentence structure. I also have an issue with the buffering during the lessons
Good concept

I wanted to leave them a good review because they were super cool about refunding me when I asked. So there is really no risk to try it out yourself.
I tried it for my daughter but she is just too young to interact with the app properly. For an adult, I think it’s a good app and uses natural conversation.
AI Pronunciation

By Dorin Wolfmoon
The system adds the kanji meaning in parenthesis 日本語(にほんご) and the AI reads it that way "nihongo nihongo". Also, it pronounces EVERY letter. Japanese doesn't work that way しよう is pronounced "shou" but the AI says "she-yo". Unusable.
Frustrating and unhelpful

There is so much wrong with this. You have to press and hold a button down to speak. The ”listener” is like the worst kind of autocorrect and does not correctly writes your responses. There are no instructions in the app. The avatar just starts talking and you have to guess what it may be saying. There is no easy way to get help within the app. Navigation is difficult. The conversation with the ai tutor is large print/screen. The button you have to hold down covers the next conversation or question, so you can’t see it to see what you are supposed to do or say. I wish I knew these things before I purchased it.
App mispronunciations

By NCThom
The AI tutor often pronounces the French verb ‘est’ as though it were the cardinal direction ‘est’ (east), which is to say that it improperly articulates the consonants of the word. There are other inexplicable mispronunciations, as well. Otherwise, it seems to be a good and engaging app. Unfortunately, the frequent pronunciation errors are distracting and I’ll be seeking a refund if they aren’t addressed and remedied.
Update: I submitted a support ticket. The only response I received was a request to rate my support experience.
Like having a human instructor

Wow! Did my first lesson, introducing myself. I have lived in Japan before and this AI has strong understanding of when to slip back to English to support me. As I can converse in Japanese somewhat.
I didn’t even get past onboarding. Took way too long

I’m tired of having to answer 30 questions before I even know about the app or what it costs. It’s a giant waste of time and I wish this trend would stop
Good but terrible intro/sign up loop.
