I can’t stand the video loading time and that there is NO CLEAR direction for learning. There’s not even any guide or explanation in how to use this app, there’s just tons of random collections of videos. I wish I hadn’t spent so much money for this.

I am learning Korean and have an intermediate understanding. This app is amazing for building context based on clips and then learning the vocab etc. My only complaint is that the the voice repeating the sentence are essentially from Google Translate. So if you’re trying to learn the pronunciations or the “flow” of certain sentences, do NOT try and follow the robotic one. Reference the video clip instead. I wish someone would take the time to clip the video audio to the sentences being taught or just record it themselves. It would have been great.

Nice

Their formula is to rip YouTube videos and create content from them. The questions are not challenging or thought provoking whatsoever; the multiple choice questions can be easily answered correctly without any knowledge of the language. It seems to me that they transcribe the videos pretty well, but they put next to no effort to create an educational environment beyond that. Not worth the money.

I subscribed to the two week free trial, but the subscription did not show up in my Appstore Subscriptions so I was unable to cancel it. I was just charged $96 for an app I barely ever used. Update: I reached out and FluentU refunded me and cancelled my subscription. I don’t know what the problem is with Appstore subscriptions but I’m thankful for the great customer service.

I used the apps a couple of time such a long time ago I don’t even remember when. I did not like it personally so remove it from my phone. I noticed a charge a few days ago from an unrecognized name, by looking online found it was this app. It is not listed as charged on my Apple Store. They charged me almost $150 when the app is less than $100. There is no way for me to cancel nor contact them. It is ridiculous

I’ve been learning Japanese everyday for 2 years now with various tools and just found FluentU. Your brain will learn faster watching videos of people using words in context, it’s that simple. I even type the sentences out on a Word document while I’m watching. Then shadow talk with the voices at 50% playback. Then take the quizzes. Read, write, listen, and speak all in one. I’m making gains faster this way. A big plus is you can increase the size of the font pretty big for the kanji. This I really appreciate. ありがとうございます😊

This app has actually gotten dramatically worse over time. Developers don’t care about user experience. You will be prompted to give feedback on app after every lesson with only option of positive or negative no option to skip. The app is hilariously slow at times that don’t make sense. After every lesson you get to wait 10-20 seconds watching a colored globe bounce up and down while it summarizes your score from the finished lesson. What?

I was trying the trial offer and decide 5 days into the trial offer not to keep it. I cancelled. Received notification of cancellation. At the end of the trial date which would have charged 79.99 CHARGED me $95.99 even though I cancelled. Buyer beware!

I would like to cancel before my trial period ends so that my card doesn’t get charged and unfortunately the option to downgrade is not in my account, only to upgrade. I have sent several messages that have not been answered.
