✓ I am eight and this is so badLook where are conversations stupider than mondly some good apps are duolingo drops droplets lingodeer pimsluer innoative look i am not telling you to shut down just get inspiration by these apps for kids please use duolingo use grownup language apps it teaches you everything.Muhammad shahzainVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Just a series of overpriced flash cardsWe used it for Spanish. Even in full version there is no conversation available. There is no game and nothing interactive apart from touching the flash cards. But even then, the outrageous thing îs that the child is not allowed to think at all! The answer is always sounded, even on quizzes! Which means there is no quiz as the child is not tested since the answer is spelled out every time. Basically, it’s just a money grabbing for something that effectively has just ONE feature: to say the word in English then in Spanish, all the time! There is no variation to this scenario. So if you are hoping your child is going to have some fun with this forget about it. How many times can you press on a flash card?!.MiiiidsszVersion: 10.2.1

✓ Unable to get the kids app even though I paid for the premiumThis is so frustrating. I want to let me kiddo learn Spanish as we are also but even though I paid for the premium lifetime subscription and it shows in my app that I have it, it is asking for me to purchase a subscription for him. I bought the lifetime subscription for this benefit as well! Something needs to be done about this!.Cwgirl197Version: 10.2.1

✓ BuggyWhenever the screen asking parents to swipe left pops up, I swipe and swipe and nothing happens. I purchased three languages but am unable to switch them. Very frustrating. Overall cute app but functionality is limited..MC10987Version: 1.0.12

✓ Says it supports Thai but it does notIt lists Thai as one of the languages supported but that is not true. Did not have Thai on the list of languages to study..NinjacatwithswordsVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Turkish isn’t pronounced wellI wanted to purchase the turkish version for my kid but the pronounciation is far from accurate. It seems like it is made using a digital program, a robotic voice with no intonations nor emphasis whatsoever..HlyguyVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Does not teach with articles for GermanWhen learning German you MUST learn the articles along with a noun (der,die & das) and Mondly DOES NOT teach that. DO NOT GET SUBSCRIPTION FOR GERMAN!.UrbanbelleVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Paid for premium; do not get premium featuresI am extremely frustrated. I have paid for Mondly premium, the 33 language package, which should also include the kids application. Even on their main adult application it says that I have the premium version, and the kids version all though logged into the same exact Apple account it says that I do not have premium and is requesting that I pay for premium for kids separately. I have reached out to support and received no reply (EVEN THOUGH I WAS CHARGED 2 TIMES) so at this rate either way I’ve paid for the kids premium..ElysianQueenVersion: 10.2.1

✓ Good idea.. mind blowingly boringThe designers need to get out and go observe many regular kids of different ages as they try and struggle with their app. Some observations: 1. No clear evolutionary learning path. You have to constantly hover around your kids when they get lost and haphazardly jump from one hodgepodge catchall category to another (“animals”, etc). 2. Boring “games”. No kid sticks around for these. If I pay, I want something good worth paying for. 3. Nouns are missing gender articles. For example in French the kids may learn the word for “car” and have no idea if it’s “le” or “la”. Looks like this was designed by folks who don’t speak foreign languages actively or at all. 4. It appears to demand and spawn multiple paid accounts and charges if you try to sign up on an iPhone and also add the app to your iPad. 5. App gets stuck on overly complicated menus that the kids can’t navigate out of. This happens all the time. So frustratingly simple to fix yet wasn’t handled. Those are the bigger ones..Yeah not so super duper happyVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Started well but the increased use of a computerised voice is painfulWe’ve really enjoyed using Mondly and I think the screens and style of learning is well designed however the increased use of a male computerised voice is painful. It is not only hard to hear clearly but the pronunciation is wrong! At £9.95 per month it is not cheap and we had it running on two devices and paid double each month as there doesn’t seem to be a family option with separate accounts to measure progress..00JustSaying00Version: 1.0.8

✓ App has an error on lesson for Learning GermanChild reached lesson 6 of 7 for learning German and the app will not let her complete a sentence. Definitely an issue with the app. Have a screenshot that I can show to prove it is not working. My daughter can no longer go any further with app and we paid for the subscription. Can not recommend. Poor product. I did reach out to support to hopefully fix. Until then it does not get a good review..Drew242424Version: 1.0.12

✓ Yeah, not really happyThe app is okay I guess, but the thing that I have a problem with is the subscription. $47 for just one language is way too expensive. And do you really have to put up the subscription screen every time you finish a lesson? Also, the lessons really don’t help that much. There are a lot of words in Chinese that aren’t correct. So overall I’m not really happy with it..害死绝对绝对绝对ueVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Can’t get full accessI pay for the monthly one for 3 months. My daughter is still stuck on the first step on repeat after I noticed it’s not going passed the first stage..WabocecVersion: 1.0.8

✓ Don’t need to rememberI’m not sure how this app would help children to remember words as the English is always said together for the word in the foreign language and there are pictures, so you can pass each level by listening to the English and the looking at the picture. The tasks are quite repetitive as well and there don’t seem to be any games..JuschMoVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Speaks in English instead of FarsiThe app has huge potential if the words were spoken in the language instead of English..Nina_Mina9897Version: 1.0.12

✓ Doesn’t have ThaiThe description says it has Thai as an option, but it does not. We have not tried it, but the description is not accurate..Natalie12809Version: 1.0.12

✓ Disappointing but not a lot of competitionI’ve been using the Portuguese version of the app with my kids (5 y.o. with Portuguese as a heritage language but not really bilingual). They find the flash card format a little boring. They are just starting to learn to read in English, but can handle the small translation tasks. The problem there however is that what they are asked to do is word-for-word translation, which I don’t think is ever a good way to think about the relationship between language. That conceptual problem is exacerbated here by inconsistencies and mistakes. In fact the app gives the impression of having the Portuguese carelessly laid over the common architecture. Sometimes a European and Portuguese word is mixed up, such as relva and grama, for grass. At other times there are clear mistakes, such as ‘vidro’ which means the material ‘glass’ but is mistakenly used to refer to a drinking vessel. One exercise had the subject pronoun ‘vós’ (seldom used now outside biblical contexts and needlessly confusing for children). Sometimes more than one correct answer was possible but only one accepted (‘este copo aqui’ and ‘este copo’ meaning essentially the same thing, with the former more emphatic). One tree was uncompletable as a question had no correct answer. I used the in-app form to report it and only received an answer significantly later saying that I’d used an old e-mail address. I’m not a big reviewer, but have taken the time here because I made the mistake of signing up for a year and there simply isn’t enough material to justify it. I wasn’t prompted to sign up for so long by the app, but did so on the basis of some good reviews which led me to expect something more involved. I certainly only have myself to blame here. Basically, while a year is a total waste of money, a month isn’t terrible and probably enough to get through the material. As for alternatives: my kids found ‘Gus on the Go’ fun. ‘Peg and Pog’ was great (and there is both European Portuguese and Brazilian). Neither is a course, though. Both are good for a long journey maybe. I’ve tried Droplets (which is much more involved and carefully done than Mondly Kids), but it’s more appropriate for significantly older children in terms of vocabulary and style..PaulmeloecastroVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Lies"Free 7 day trial", that forces you to pay $10/month to access anything other than the loading screen. Nice try..PapaMike25Version: 1.0.7

✓ Really complicatedMy son is learning to read and simply couldn't keep up with the most basic lesson. Very disappointing app. And they charge you right away, but give you a 7 day free trial. I'd rather they would let me test the app freely and then offer me to purchase..LeticiaGraziVersion: 1.0.8

✓ Wrong languageMy wife who’s Indian, is telling me that a bunch of the words you teach isn’t accurate. That no one says these things. Such as shub ratri, subra baat. Instead they would say good night or good morning..AnuksVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Got it for Latin, but no LatinThe Mondly Kids website clearly lists Latin in the slider, between Catalan (also not available) and Dutch, yet there’s no Latin in the app. With a 6 1/2 year old absolutely obsessed with all things Roman and curious about the language, I was eager to test this out and put down the money if it was good. Disappointed. The kid is also interested in Japan, so we tried Japanese. First preschool level daily lesson starts with ‘theatre,’ ‘cinema,’ ‘actor,’ and ‘film’—are you kidding me? And cinema and film—often interchangeable in English and apparently the same word in Japanese—confused the kid (and me) when trying to match. Not impressed. Edit: After letting the kids play a little longer, I added a star, but as a language educator and learner, myself, I don’t see anything exceptional so far. There’s a lot of missed opportunity, in fact. We’ll give it a week and see if the kids keep interest and I find any reason to adjust the rating..DalianguyVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Too Fast and Too SlowMy 7 year old tried the preschool section because she is not a strong reader. The narrator told the answer too often and she got bored. When she tried the “school age” app, it requires constructing entire sentences, which was too advanced. The Italian voice sounds very mechanical and speaks very fast, faster than the voice in the adult version of Mondly. Honestly, Mondly has been my favorite adult language learning app so far (and I’ve tried many). I’m really disappointed in the children’s version..OctMoonVersion: 1.0.12

✓ No me gustóPagué la suscripción y nunca pude acceder a las actividades, únicamente a unos ejercicios diarios que están en la opción gratuita (o sea que perdí mi dinero para nada) Ni se puede crear una cuenta ni tampoco hay forma de comunicarse con atención al cliente.Vane MaiaVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Blurry background other issues1. blurry background makes me nauseous. People who get motion sickness easily don‘t want blurry backgrounds. 2. No way to see the notes page that gives you the word and sentence list. Kids banned from this, but makes no sense to do this! Those who know how to study will refer to thos to refresh their memory. Banning us from this is daft! 3. Israeli kids see words with viwel points before seeing them without vowel points. Those who are eeaf or have auditory processing issues are not stupid with zero ability to learn foreign languages! We need to be able to toggle vowel points on and off. 4. Deaf and auditory processing issues people can not do Hear Only questions so should be able to simply turn those off in settings. 5. MOST apps for language learning BAN those who cant hear properly from learning on their apps by requiring good hearing processing. Hebrew is imposible for me to learn without the vowel points so I understand what is being said. The transliteration is not good enough because ‚e‘ can have many sounds - eh, ay, ee depending on what transliteration rules you use. Thank you for correcting these short comings!.TpkytVersion: 10.0.3

✓ Strong potentialThis has strong potential, but is still a little buggy. Some languages show the multiple choice answer selections hidden under the big circle selection buttons, so you can’t see the words underneath. And this app’s premium subscription was supposed to be free for subscribers of the regular Mondly app for adults, but I have not been able to access the premium content here despite trying the restore purchase option repeatedly with customer support. I don’t think I’ll be renewing the regular Mondly app. It’s decent, but I mostly maxed out all the content in my target languages, and I would’ve thought about resubscribing later on if this kids app synced like it was supposed to, because then it’ll be worth it since I could share my language passion with my kid. I like the cute graphics though..JigokuShoujoXIVVersion: 1.0.12
