English language: Learn & Play for Negative User Reviews
✓ Obviously made for people who don’t understand the English languageThis app is obviously made for people who don’t already understand the English language and are trying to learn better. Overall a decently fun and engaging layout and UI but I certainly don’t think the app is worth $10 every month..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Buyer bewareI would never get an app from Basenji again. Confusing to unsubscribe! You can’t just delete the app! $10 per week, and you might not notice until you get your monthly statement! A page that leads you to subscribe has X’s as the background, so it’s hard to know which X to close the window. Very manipulative. Too bad an educational app is run this way..Version: 2.2.2
✓ I love this app but just way too expensiveThis is exactly what I need as an English learner, who is able to communicate but need more various expressions to be more fluent. So, I was willing to pay for this app, however, $10 per week or $100 per year? It does not make sense. $30 per year must be the right payment for it..(though some might think it's still expensive) I would rather buy an idiom book or look for some references on the internet. Sorry guys. It is really a good app! Except for the price..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Really?This game, even set at advanced, is a waste of space. It often provides the answers right in the questions! I suppose I was hoping to learn idioms from old English, but this is beating a dead horse..Version: 1.6.3
✓ SubscriptionSo I downloaded this App after seeing it on Instagram. I enable downloads by using my fingerprint. As soon as I went on the app and entered a few details I placed my thumb on the home button, next thing I know I had purchased a £8.99 subscription! I have cancelled this straight away and deleted the app, wrongly made purchase which could have been avoided!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ FraudThey’re fraud ,on add they said it free but after install they want money.Version: 2.5.3
✓ Subscribed and charged without my permissionDO NOT DOWNLOAD IT WILL BILL YOU WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Just starting using this appSo far it’s ok.Version: 2.3.4
✓ Rogue app!I only used it once, but it has been charging 12.99/week for two month! So disgusting!.Version: 2.2.6
✓ BEWARE THIEFS IN ACTION DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHINGThief’s in action This app is shame.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Too expensiveDoesn’t worth at this price.Version: 1.7
✓ UnsubscribeI dont wont this how do i unsubscribe.Version: 2.0
✓ It will be a great app if it has audioI just started using this app. It is still a bit too early to give a review. One thing I notice right away is it doesn’t have audio to teach you how to say the phrase. I think it would be even a better app if it has audio and be able replay and at a slower speed if wish, especially for people who are learning English as 2nd language like me. Thank you!.Version: 2.3.8
✓ Forced Subscription!!!!!Do not download this “free” app unless you want to sign up for weekly payment!! I plan to give 1 star reviews every time this happens from now on. Also the “help” link they attach when they reply to these comments is broken. Do better and advertise your apps the way they are designed so we don’t have to follow broken links to cancel things we didn’t offer to pay for. Horrible companies..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Unsubscribe Me!I did not mean to subscribe this and evry month I am getting charged on my CC for about $40. I can’t unsubscribe.. please refund too as I did not even use this apps. Thank you!.Version: 2.0.6
✓ LayoutThe layout of the words\colours is messy and hard to read.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Ridiculously expensiveNot worth the money... not because it’s a bad app, but it just is not enough value for money. Pretty much this is a rip off or semi scam.Version: 2.0.6
✓ My mistakeSorry wrong app ..Version: 1.8
✓ Unsubscribe me PLEASECould I please get a link to cancel this weekly(day) membership?? I have subscribed yesterday around 12pm, says it’s free for three days... turned out I have been charged £8.99.....? Seriously. Can I please get a link to cancel this membership AND my £8.99 back. Thank you very much..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Can't do anything without in app purchasesGood idea... but so ad heavy, you can barely do anything without in app purchases or entering your Apple ID for a 3 day free trial. Unfortunate to see this in the "new apps we love" category with how useless it is because of the limitations.Version: 1.4
✓ Too many repeatsToo many repeats.Version: 2.3.8
✓ Not for non-English speaking peopleThis app is only for people who already know English. This did not help the person I downloaded it for at all because she does not know English, she just moved here. It explains everything in English, that doesn’t help someone that doesn’t know the language. I do not recommend this app for anyone looking to LEARN English..Version: 2.3.4
✓ It’s ok but...I like the idea of this app, but it’s another subscription service which is unappealing. I probably will not play a monthly fee for this. The other issue is, I know all the idioms they have shown so far so I’m not learning anything new yet. Good idea tho. Maybe it gets harder over time..Version: 2.5.1
✓ It’s not free, and i’m not impressedRequires credit card info even to get the 3 free days of trial...and the blurb that says this is in bad English!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Where are my scores?I downloaded this app to practice my idioms as I am an English speaker who doesn't use very many and could use a boost. Anyway I want to know how I am improving. These "quizzes" are not graded, so there is little motivation. Easy fix..Version: 2.0.3
✓ UnhappyShould be a free version instead of having to pay weekly/ monthly.Version: 1.7.3
✓ Thought it’s free but it’s notDownloaded the app and want to see what it looks like but it asked you to subscribe straightaway. Thought it’s an free app but you have to pay it. Maybe make it clear on the app description..Version: 2.1.9
✓ $15 a week? LooooolThis is nearly the biggest rip off I’ve ever seen. I tried to exit the app and it offered me “lifetime access” for $100. GTFO..Version: 2.1.2
✓ MeldThank.Version: 2.3.7
✓ Entirely to expensive for what is providedMaybe it is just me but most of the idioms listed are things you would know by just existing. If the price to unlock everything was like $10 maybe I’d be interested but wanting almost $500 is insane. Read some books it is way cheaper.Version: 2.3.6
✓ Don’t waste your timeAnother of those apps that immediately tries to sign you up to a £8.99 weekly subscription or ‘lifetime’ access for more than a triple AAA console game. To think that I used to find optional in-app purchases annoying....Version: 2.0.5
✓ I can not cancel of contractI wanna to stop paying monthly contract but I can not. I tried to stop paying to the contract but I can not figure find anywhere that is able to request of quitting to use this app. I still keep paying without a change..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Cancel Subscription still charging me????Why are you still charging me monthly?? I already cancel my subscription right away last month and follow the instructions that you posted for those who wants to cancel subscription. Please stop charging me....any contact number that i can call to cancel?.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Don’t even download it if you don’t want to be billedThe app tricks you into subscription by showing a big ‘Continue’ button. You only realise it when you start getting invoiced. Horrible way of getting people’s money. Apple please ban this App!.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Blind worldIt was cloudy morning.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Extremely expensiveI find this app to be extremely expensive for $8 a week for Grand total of US$416 a year. This is a complete joke. I strongly recommend that you folks steer clear of this app due to the high price, poor features and dismal functionality..Version: 2.5.1
✓ AbiralWhy would anyone keep a price for something that is meant for learning purpose. Whoever developed this has a really brilliant approach and concept but the “in-app purchases” idea is such a sandwich short of a picnic idea..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Duped - End my subscription if I have one.I have absolutely no idea how to cancel this app. I only wanted to try it, but now it seems I will be charged weekly for this once the free trial over, even though I did not press the continue button. I expect someone to reply to me ASAP or I will be passing this matter onto trading standards! Please end my subscription if I have the inadvertently joined..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Be Very Careful with this App!The developers are very cagey. You will be charged $10 per week ongoing UNLESS you opt out of the automatic weekly charge that begins at some undisclosed point after the trial period begins. Unless you check your charge card statement online once a week you could be bleeding money. As far as the app itself I rate it as just okay..Version: 2.1.8
✓ OkVery repetitive.Version: 2.3.6
✓ UselessScammers.Version: 2.2.2
✓ 👎🏼If I was a 5 year old the advanced level would be great..Version: 2.3.8
✓ Good product bad price!I think it would be a wonderful program if it wasn’t so costly. I would not mind paying for it but not at the expense it is. Maybe I’ll download it after a price change..Version: 2.5.7
✓ Scam$12.99 per week?!? REALLY??? Noo thanks definitely not worth it at all. If I want to learn which I really do, I will use google for FREE..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Not usefulIt repeats the same thing too many times, is boring.Version: 2.3.6
✓ Won’t let you play without payingEverything is locked not worth the download.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Dishonest - advice - badYou don’t need to push someone to buy anything When something is good! Try any other applications and run away this application..Version: 2.1.9
✓ 17.49 per week!!!17.49 per week after trial? That’s extortion and far beyond reasonable. In my opinion, whoever is responsible for this decision deserves to be fired. I’d give zero stars if possible..Version: 1.8
✓ Really!!!????Are you serious?!?! $18 per week when most apps like this are for free. Do the maths. Almost a Thousand!!!! Dollars per year. Totally ridiculous. And of course you only find out about it after you have downloaded it. Lesson learnt... next time I’ll read the reviews first..Version: 2.3.8
✓ Cancel right now!!!!!I really want to CANCEL my subscription, how dare you to take money from bankcard??? I deleted the app right after the downloading.. and I still get the bills weekly!!!!!! How the hell can I cancel it???.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Zero stars !!Nearly 18$ are way too much and far beyond fun. No access without starting the free trial and giving all personal details. Not worth the effort.Version: 2.0
✓ Illegal transactionThis app is the worst application I have ever tried to learn English. Besides that, I downloaded this application on my phone and without subscription I was charged in 14,99$ even though I have never used it. I want my money back because it is an unauthorized payment. You can’t charge for something I did not purchase. Apple should be processed to allow this company to charge a customer without purchase, it is illegal. We provide our details to Apple to be used with our authorization. This is an absurd, I have never seen anything like that..Version: 2.3.2
✓ EnglishThis app is very very bad I hate this app.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Rip offNot worth downloading. It gives you three days then charges you. This app is not free! The game is not worth it either..Version: 2.3.8
✓ Don’t botherYou can’t do anything without purchases. Literally starts with go for a 3 day trial and then $12 whatever a month..Version: 2.3.8
✓ Subscription trap!This is a scam app. They get your credit card details and charge immediately (not free for 3 days). The app doesn’t appear in your subscriptions so you cannot cancel it! Complete fraud! I checked the app, it’s very basic and the tests are boring by the way..Version: 2.5.10
✓ Beware of this App - auto subscribeSneaky! Very sneaky! HATE DEVELOPERS LIKE THIS! I downloaded this app, checked one game and saw it was not what I needed and that it was subscription based. I said I don’t want to subscribe but it auto subscribed me to a premium subscription and has been charging me for the last two weeks!.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Waste of timeCrappy app with everything to pay without even trying. Bombarded with lots of ads as soon as I downloaded it..Version: 2.1.2
✓ The app is racist against gingersDon’t download if ginger hair..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Rose007Thieving buggers, I never asked for a subscription, I just wanted to see what this was about, and they started to charge straight away, useless app/ game anyway... they took hundreds off me and I couldn’t seem to cancel it. To this day my app store has been blocked as I took all my payment details off my iphone.Version: 2.1.3
✓ DisappointedPlease let me try the app with ads without having to sign up for it and pay! I was thoroughly excited about the concept of this app but deleted it before even trying the app as it asked me to sign up immediately. You are loosing tons of people doing it this way. It is a shame :( If you change it, I will make sure I update my review!.Version: 2.4.0
✓ How to get rid of this appPlz help me I downloaded this app but after open it I noticed that there is nothing any stuff what I want...now I want to get rid of this app but there is no any support or way to unsubscribe...please help me.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Please let me unsubscribe immediatelyI do not find this a helpful app and cannot find any way to unsubscribe. It is too simple, I just went in to have a look and now find I am being billed for £8.99 a week. The link in previous replies asking to unsubscribe does not work. I will ask my bank to stop payments and also take this up as a complaint with Apple store unless you provide a link for me to unsubscribe..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Confused...I totally did not understand the point of what I was doing....😳. I get that I was learning idioms but why not just memorize the idiom....I felt like I was supposed to be learning English....Is this what I was supposed to be learning???? I want to write it higher if I get a better understanding of what I’m supposed to be doing....Version: 2.3.7
✓ Ad seemed like something elseI saw an ad for this game that made it seem like it would be a fun grammar game. So I downloaded it, but it turns out it’s geared more towards teaching people English, which I don’t need. I never found the grammar game I wanted, and in order to play any more than the first game, you must pay $9.99! False advertising, so I deleted it immediately..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Love itI love the app. But free for 3days was a bit not enough to decide wether to take it up or not. As for learning a skill u need more time to work n understand it. While getting use to it the time expires n than start weighing should I go for it or drop it..Version: 2.3.4
✓ RidiculousI also install this app and didn’t know the amount of money they charge. I was checking my credit card bill once by chance and saw these charges. When I checked the history they took around 100 bucks from my account. I unsubscribe it right away, but the damage has already been done. I might have used it once or twice in that period of time. BEWARE GUYS...Version: 2.2.2
✓ ExpensiveSo many idiom on9, and you can get it free. And apps charge you lot for that. Not worth it..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Shady rip off - do not trial!!!I like to test apps for usefulness, this company is purposefully deceitful by running a 3 day trial instead of the standard one week and then charging you $13/week! Outrageous for what it offers and clearly a trap to charge as many people as possible for the first week before they cancel by having an usually short trial period and outrageous weekly subscription price. Their goal is clearly to get your one week charge, at a high price, and not to satisfy a consumer with a useful product. I’m for capitalism but I don’t appreciate this model and it’s no way to build a loyal base. Reviews must be fake. Do not purchase!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Confusing subscriptions?I didn’t subscribe to this app but after about 4 days my account has been charged? I’ve canceled the subscription that is there but I haven’t used this app since downloading and cannot find any support contact numbers or emails to reach out to. Please help, I didn’t want this subscription in the first place. I definitely do not want a paid subscription.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Might as well be a paid game. Completely Pay to Play.You open the game and it asks you to pay directly. I can’t even try it out before I pay. I think such games shouldn’t be on the Free tab. They should be on the Paid tab. And there’s nothing on the store description that says that it’s got in-app purchases. Misguiding users big time... In the end, I didnt play at all. Thank you :).Version: 2.0.6
✓ A bit boring and no explanation with the games.Disappointed..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Do not download this app.After 6 months of unsubscribing and deleting the app, they took the money off the credit card. Do not download this app. Just scammers here..Version: 2.0.6
✓ ***BUYER BEWARE*** DO NOT BUYI immediately cancelled my subscription after the first 30 minutes of downloading and it still charged me $12 for the week. Better call ghostbusters on these guys. Cause they are pure slime..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Too expensive9.99 a week? Nah too much.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Still takes payment even when you cancelI cancelled the subscription after about 2/3hours after accessing the app. It was a bit rudimentary and I didn’t think I needed it as such. I cancelled and removed from my device only to find a few days later they had charged me £8.99 for Premium weekly access. I attempted to get a refund on the grounds of technical error to which I received an automated response that my reasons for a refund were not accepted. Unhappy with this..Version: 2.0.2
✓ How do i delete itttttt??.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Don’t purchase itI have purchased and I am using it now but there are very limited contents and above that, half of the courses and games are not accessible without any reason. Personally I feel I have wasted my money..Version: 2.5.4
✓ BewareBeware of this app. The in app purchase happens as soon as you download it, so you may end up being burned for £9 like me before you realise. Any app that plays clever like this should be banned from the App Store in my opinion..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Not really teaching anything new.Only given 2 stars as it only really helps anyone who’s not native to the language. Their ads imply they want to teach you new stuff and help you become smarter; but they’re all very common idioms. And it throws its subscription service in your face twice before you can even access the actual app. Not cool..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Paying without a free trialJust downloaded it because seemed interesting. But as soon as I opened it, they asked for money! Hey no! Im not paying for anything I haven’t tried beforehand. You should have a few free examples. Im deleting it!.Version: 1.7.4
✓ Nice app but too expensiveIt is a really nice app, but 15$ a week is too much money...Version: 2.1.3
✓ ScamI just downloaded your game yesterday and money were taken straight away without 3 days trial . Please refund my money back. Another £8.99 were taken from my account.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Charges $ without consentThis will continue to charge you without your consent..Version: 2.0.2
✓ DeceitfulThey deceive you in the app description. They say try it try for free for three days but they charge you instantly. Fraudulent business..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Impossible to cancel the subscription!I have been trying for hours to cancel my subscription!! I’m sure there’s a way to do it, however they are not making it easy for you. Think twice before subscribing!.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Too expensive$13.49/week.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Please cancel!Hi I installed the programme and after reading the £8.99 weekly cost, I deleted it immediately. I want to make sure it is properly cancelled to avoid being charged . Please confirm Nil.Version: 2.1.2
✓ ThievesDownloaded it and it charged me $12.99 a week for 2 months , outrageous I used the stupid app only once for about 5 minutes. Be very carful with this scammers..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Paid app - not freeMakes you download the app — then choose what level you want it at — she shows a screen requiring a subscription..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Won’t stop charging youEven when you cancel your subscription they will continue to charge your credit card buyer beware.Version: 2.6.5
✓ Seriously! The price!15 bucks a week! The app can be good but it’s definitely the price of a book... per week!.Version: 2.3.7
✓ Rip-off. Switched to a weekly expensive subscription without my interaction.First app I’ve complained to the Apple store about. Hopefully App Store removes it..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Zero starsNot worth the download.Version: 1.8
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!!This app is a scam, you see a link on Instagram and click it, download the app. See that it’s not that great so you delete it and then get CHARGED £8.99 PER WEEK FOR A SUBSCRIPTION YOU NEVER AUTHORISED!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SCAMMED!!!! Luckily Apple is so amazing and refunded me for this horrible thieving app!.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Beware, they charge $9.99/weekWe are extremely dissatisfied as after the free trial, they started charging 9.99/week, yes per week, not per month. Also, there is no option from the app itself to cancel the subscription. We had to call Apple Support and they walked us through the steps from Setting and finally we were able to cancel it. Totally rip off..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Asking for payment after I am subscribedI paid for the subscription and it’s asking me to pay again .. and it’s not showing me the idioms.. when I try to pay it’s says I paid for it..Version: 1.5
✓ End subscriptionUnsubscribe me please it’s clunky to use and the grammar is off and it’s not clear in the app where I unsubscribe. Please confirm I’ve ended my subscription. If I haven’t please can you end my subscription for me. Thank you:).Version: 1.7
✓ Awesome but too pricyIt's a great app but too expensive..Version: 2.0
✓ Request a refundHi, I’ve just accidentally pressed the button and it activated my subscription of $12.99 for a week but I do not really need this. Can I request a refund please? Thank you. TL. P/s: So disappointed with this app! It doesn’t worth $12.99 for a week. Though I’ve accidentally bought it and already reported few minutes after that but didn’t get the refund. Be careful before your purchase, there are many prices for the same period of time, for example: $3.99, $7.99, $12.99 & $13.49 for a week..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Not greatLots of errors. I also joined for the free trial and have tried to email the makers directly to ensure that they have not and will not be taking any money from me as I have not agreed to this but had no response..Version: 2.2.2
✓ Absolutely rip-off$60 per month, tell me it’s a joke. Who do you suppose will pay this amount of money just for learning idioms?.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Don’t waste your timeThis is an app that claims to help English learners by teaching idioms. However, there are many misspelled or incorrect words in the app. Even their advertisements are full of errors. On top of that, this app wants users to pay monthly (or yearly) fees that are well beyond the quality of their product. I am an English teacher and I would never recommend this, in fact I would specifically use this app as an example of how NOT to learn English..Version: 2.1.3
✓ TerribleIf you are using this as somebody who is trying to improve very very basic English schools it might just about be ok. However, I am a British National and can tell you that within 2 rounds I found plenty of grammatical errors and mistakes. Not worth £9 a week that’s for sure! Just buy a book of English phrases. Also just FYI, nobody says “be no oil painting”..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Cancellation of the appI was mislead to download the app and want to cancel it. How can I do this.Version: 2.0.3
✓ UnbelievableCan not believe that it is impossible to unsubscribe I have entered the details given to others to try and unsubscribe but am just getting to a page that says ‘page cannot be found’ can you please give instructions as to how to unsubscribe that will actually work. Have given 1 star because I have to this ap doesn’t deserve any stars!!!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Dishonest appI downloaded the app and I didn't like it. So I went to unsubscribe straight away. Deleted the app. For my surprise, I got charged $14.99 for a premium subscription that I did not authorize, choose or wanted. I want my money back! And for what I have read in other reviews I'm not the only one. Also besides off the unauthorised charge, the app is boring and is not worth even for free..Version: 1.8
