Falou - Fast language learning for Negative User Reviews
✓ Great potential but the Japanese seems a little off 😅The first few lessons were alright and the app is entertaining. I purchased a year prescription because it seemed like it could be a good supplement. But as I got further along I started seeing small errors like こんばんわ、which should be こんばんは. And I have seldom seen the kanji for ありがとう (有難う) actually be used in real life, especially in casual form (but maybe it's not a bad thing to leave in? But I didn't even see it written that way in advertisements or on thank you cards). The level of keigo being used seemed inconsistent and the conversations started to feel unnatural. Please have a native review and revise your lessons if possible? I'm not fluent in Japanese, but I'm not a beginner in my studies either. I just returned home from a visit to Japan and wanted something to build and maintain my language skills. I apologize for being direct. Best of luck to this app!.Version: 0.0.266
✓ Machine IndeedThis app proves why machines cannot even come close to human teaching methods. I would rather be bugged by duolingo if I had to choose an app. No one talks like that in Korea! I may be a beginner but even the book English is bad, salutations look like a king’s order from Joseon dynasty. It’s like google translate and within the four lessons I did, I already found a major inaccuracy. Plus, they have constant ads in the free version. Starts at $200 and then they bring it down to $40 (for a year). So annoying!.Version: 0.0.267
✓ App says I am wrong when I reveal answer I am correctHello, I am not sure if this is a whole app issue, or maybe just the Korean course. But I have had many many incidents where it says that I have spelt or said something wrong. So I then reveal the answer to improve myself, but the spelling is correct or the pronunciation is the same. Can you help me fix this or id there a way to get a refund. As I am very annoyed by this bug..Version: 0.0.290
✓ Annoying and InvasiveI'd say the language learning itself is probably quite good and high quality so far. I've just paid for premium and there's a few things bothering me. It continuously asks me to upgrade to get more languages despite me saying ignore offer permanently. It keeps asking me to refer friends. It keeps asking me what I would improve when I don't give it 10/10 and then i'm forced to write something to continue and it's come up multiple times. it seems impossible to disable the video previews of me talking so that I can share it on social media, which i'll never do so stop asking me. To say that i've paid for it, you'd think I was on a free trial with adverts because it's extremely annoying and continually trying to force me to share and promote them. I honestly cannot recommend it to anyone until they leave me alone and naturally allow me to recommend it..Version: 0.0.312
✓ DumbYou can literally only go on the app for a certain amount of time unless you pay, which i pretty stupid considering they advertise themselves as an app that can help you learn new languages fast. i get that the idea is people will pay so they can go on for however long they like, but why you gonna put a limit on people using your app. they’ll still be watching all the ridiculously long ads that they gotta watch, so you’ll be making money regardless. if you want people to use your app and you wanna help them learn fast, why you then telling them they can’t practice. they wanna go on the app cause they’re passionate about learning, and it’s quite discouraging when you get blocked from going on because you’ve “reached the limit” and the only way to continue practicing is by paying money i don’t have. quite dumb..Version: 0.0.279
✓ Give me a second …The app tries to sell itself too much. From the start you are bombarded with ads that give you limited sexy discounts to get you to subscribe before you even have a chance to get a taste of the app. It feels like a door-to-door salesman trying to sell you a toaster at 4am. It would be nice to at least offer free few days trial before you are prompted to subscribe..Version: 0.0.238
✓ Meh 🫤So when I just opened the app it was pretty nice, it did have a few errors where it didn’t capture my mistake but that’s really common for a app. After some lessons I noticed there were a lot premium offers so I declined. Then it kept giving me pop up adds Again, so I declined again but that only made it worse. So after I was done with the each lesson there would l o n g adds for 14 minutes Straight talking about how I should get premium, since there adds had no skip button I had no option but to watch it. I was still not interested into buying it. I keep declining the offers but they just keep popping up. Then they made it cheaper which was okay but I still wasn’t going to get it. So finally after the 14 Minutes was up I got to finish my lessons without getting adds and I finally started to get better but then of COURSE you have to have premium to stay on the app for 6 hours! really you have limited time to stay on a app and watch really long adds just to stay on the app?.Version: 0.0.246
✓ Overwhelming amount of non-lesson contentThis app is obnoxiously filled with non-lesson related sounds and videos, the majority of what you hear will not be language learning content. I think I spent 75% of my first hour on here listening to the app play annoyingly loud videos and music to convince me to get premium rather than sounds related to an Italian lesson. The lessons are also incredibly short and there are no explanations for any of the learning. Additionally, each lesson only has like 5 or 6 words/phrases to learn and those words are repeated for 3-5 lessons in a row without any additional lesson or words. There isn’t much learning happening compared to the speed at with other repetition language learning apps provide. Also, get ready to be assaulted by the number of pop ups and help icons that never go away in the middle of lessons to tell you how to perform a task you’ve already done in every lesson previous. It greatly takes away the learning when there is little to learn and the app spends its time trying to distract you into paying for premium/pro features. Instead of offering more learning by paying for premium, it’s offering to be less annoying and distracting if you pay for premium. This app would have a lot of potential if it wasn’t so obnoxious and focused on actually teaching a language. I think they spent more time and money designing their mascot and in-app advertising videos than the actual lesson plans..Version: 0.0.290
✓ It’s alright if you’re only a beginnerTo be honest after so much hype this app puts everywhere I wanted to give it a try. They have a feature where you can speak out loud and will recognize your voice and accent to see if you’re saying it right, which is one of the main reasons I got it and like about it. My pronunciation in Korean is pretty good , in fact, right now I am better at that then the grammar itself. however no matter how many times I say the words right, sometimes it will not recognize it and mark it as wrong. Or at times, I won’t even finish my sentence and mark it as correct, which I find burdensome . Is not the biggest issue but it’s something that quite irritates me since I don’t know how accurate it is, and that’s the whole point of the app! I know is probably a bug issues but it’s truly annoying when it happens over and over. Plus the app doesn’t have much variety other than just small chats and learning new words. Don’t get me wrong, is good for a beginner who’s trying to know the basics and some phrases here and there, but I don’t think you’ll become fluent just by using this app, it can add some useful information but that’s about it!.Version: 0.0.312
✓ Not greatAfter every little bit of a lesson (not even just in between lessons) it gives you an add and bothers you about getting premium. I get apps need money (especially if they are free) but come on, they don’t need to be more then the time it actually takes to complete the lesson. Also, Doesn’t pick up on what I’m saying at all. I know I have a thick accent but I have been complimented on how I pronounce my French. Deleted it after about 10 minutes of getting frustrated from it constantly telling me I’m running out of lives even if I report that it doesn’t pick up on what I’m saying..Version: 0.0.266
✓ TerribleVery pushy with making you pay for the subscription, I felt like every window that would pop up would ask me to pay for the one year (which, in my opinion, isn’t worth $100+). Once I finished what they consider the “Trail period,” they tried to give me a “special discount,” which I didn’t want to pay for, but there was no way to exit that screen unless you either pay for the year or force quit the app (very predatory). There are no options for just standard free lessons. It’s either you pay, or you don’t get to learn with them, which I wouldn’t say I liked because I don’t believe people should have to pay for knowledge, especially if it’s something like learning a new language. Lastly, the lessons in the “ trail” aren’t in-depth enough. It’s just listening, copying, and repeating with no explanation on how to create sentences, or if there are formal and informal ways to say things, they don’t even try to go over the alphabet. Since I am a beginner, I expected them to curate materials to my level, yet it felt like I was doing it. Intermediate lessons I couldn’t follow. I’m going to go ahead and stick with Duolingo and practice on Hellotalk for language learning..Version: 0.0.269
✓ Ads upon ads upon adsI understand wanting to make money but just lock some features or something you don’t need to constantly try and push someone to purchasing your subscription. The app has good features but I had to delete it because I can’t even enjoy the features without being bombarded.Version: 0.0.251
✓ Developers, please read!!I just got the app and already subscribed to the 1 year PRO to see how I liked it. So far, I noticed that most of the content is based on travel or business. As someone who wants to learn spanish to converse with spanish-speaking friends, this is unhelpful to me. It’s very boring too. I also accidentally started too far ahead in the Spanish course, and it will not allow me to go back to the easier levels. I’m stuck in the intermediate and don’t know enough to really engage my memory at all. I wish there was a way to reset progress in order to fix this mistake but I feel like I just paid to be stuck not understanding anything. I also noticed that the listening portion of the app does not give any subtitles or anything to help me make sure I’m understanding what is being said. I just kind of have to listen and hope I know what’s going on. There’s a lot that could be improved about this app; and when people are spending good money to use it, there needs to be more flexibility. Not allowing us to backtrack to earlier levels of difficulty is inconvenient, not giving context in listening activities is also inconvenient, and only teaching spanish in business or travel contexts is boring and unhelpful to those wanting to learn for pleasure. If these issues were fixed, this app would be awesome! I see a lot of potential, I just hope these issues are addressed soon..Version: 0.0.241
✓ Better, but still plenty to improveAfter the issue where the app stopped working, the Falou team worked very hard to restore my streak, which I appreciate so much. That said, there is still a lot this app can improve on, like offering streak saves in the event of another issue (much like Duolingo and Drops both have). The vocabulary practice is nice, but the voice recognition needs some improvement. I’m working on German, and while it recognizes “seibzehnte” and “achtzehnte”, “sechszehnte” and “neunzehnte” never seem to hear the -te on the end of the words. Others have mentioned that the speaking is merely memorization of specific phrases, which is true, and while it gives a good idea of how the words work together, I wouldn’t say it’s really teaching you the language. Overall I think it’s a decent app if you’re using it to reinforce language learning, but I wouldn’t say it should be your main app for doing so..Version: 0.0.161
✓ I’ve tried !Dear Falou I’m ruby I have played your game for about 3 hours now and guess WHAT YOUR STUPID ‘amazing’ PREMIUM HAS LOCKED ME OUT OF THE APPLE PAY!I was paying for the premium and my phone kept saying payment cancelled after a few minutes of trying it gave me 5 more chances now after I put my money in I have lost my Apple Pay and my email thank you a lot! Guys please be careful of your Apple Pay and another problem my sister got to the last challenge then a ad came up and it kept trying to persuade her to buy it and when she’s trying to learn English (she’s Spanish only 6) I can speak a few words in Spanish so thats why I’m on the app to so back to it! She kept saying to mom about it and she just said delete the app ! Because me nor her is paying 30 dollars for a stupid premium cause of what happened to me so I have no interest to download this app anymore fix your glitch please now I’m going to have to get a new phone from Ruby PS it was a good app.Version: 0.0.271
✓ Not worth paying for!Don’t give into the insidious ads trying to gaslight and guilt trip you into paying for a subscription. It’s a waste of your hard earned money. When an app doesn’t have a way of reporting faults (of which there are plenty), you know the developers really don’t care about improving their product. After subscribing, I tested out 3 languages from lesson 1. I’m fluent in two of them and beginner in one, but Falou is trying to tell me I can’t pronounce the most basic words in the languages I’m fluent in. Meanwhile, in the language I’m a newbie in, I not only mispronounced words but said completely different words and got perfect 3 stars..Version: 0.0.249
✓ Lots of issuesI think this app has a lot of potential, but it’s difficult to quickly report errors or issues on the app and weeks go buy and it’s never fixed. There are a lot of vocabulary sections I can’t use for example because they have used the exact same phrase for two different pictures and definitions. There are multiple pages where the text is cut off. So I can’t even see the phrase I’m supposed to translate. Sometimes the audio doesn’t match the words they ask you to say in the speaking activity or the number of blanks they give you is too many for the number of words they want. These all seem like easy fixes but they need a better system for receiving information about these issues and for fixing them. It’s not worth paying for something when you are constantly finding errors and having to remember what units or what vocabulary sections to avoid..Version: 0.0.269
✓ The developer responses are fakeHello, first, I wanted to give this no stars but I had to give one. On to the matter at hand. When the developers say “we care about your opinion and will use this to further better our app” they are just pacifying you to make you want to keep using the app while you wait for a change that will not happen. Also, they say that you can “still use this app for free” they are saying a half truth. You can use it for free, for 30 minutes! This kind of fraud and lying to customers proves that these people are not to be trusted. They will not change a thing about this app that needs to be changed, only small glitches that don’t lose them money to fix. Also, part of why I deleted this app is because of the marketing. They give you a “great deal just for you” and try to say that time will run out. Time may run out but then they will give you a “better first year offer and it starts over and the personal offer they made is actually given to everyone, These people are lying to y’all and are trying make you feel like you have to buy stuff. Newsflash: you don’t!.Version: 0.0.238
✓ Needs significant improvementThe app would be a lot better if the developers cared at all about the bugs. I downloaded this app to learn Polish. Even paid for a subscription. The app has tons of bugs, from not hearing my pronunciation of the words, to some grammatical and spelling errors. Even had my wife who speaks fluent Polish try to help with some of the errors the app was giving me to no avail. I’ve reached out to the developers and to the customer service team a couple dozen times and I always get the same careless generic response. Even after I sent them proof like they asked, they never cared to fix any issues. And when I asked for a refund I was given a rude response that basically said you paid and we don’t care about the issues now that we have our money. Either use it or don’t we have your money and even though we’re not offering you the product you paid money for, oh well. I’m seeking legal action against the company at the time of this review..Version: 0.0.318
✓ Please stop thisOk I wanted to learn Korean and I found this app and I thought it was a good idea but they actually want you to spend money on this game and I don’t think that’s okay because some people just don’t spend money on their phones iPads or other mobile devices but it constantly annoys you about the premium stuff it gives you offers like discounts the discounts are good but even if you say you don’t want to spend money on the discount this so give it to you and this happens for 24 hours and every time you’re done doing a lesson it happens I feel like they should get this fixed because I can’t even focus on my Korean.Version: 0.0.256
✓ Loved at firstI was hooked at the start, loving how much I was speaking portugues and excited to show it to my Brazilian boyfriend…. However there’s many words that no matter how well you pronounce them - they will be incorrect! It’s so frustrating especially because there’s so much else that’s great about it! Urrggg.Version: 0.0.255
✓ Agresive adsApp and method seem fine, but you don't even get to process what you learned as they harass you with ads. I don't mind paying for things that are worth it, but I detest aggressive publicity. If you want people so bad, just ask them to buy the thing from the get go and don't give a free option? Seriously, your aggressive ads are the reason I dislike this app..Version: 0.0.308
✓ Too many ads and limited if you don’t payI think this app has the potential to be good but after the first day it only lets me do one tiny lesson before saying I reached my daily limited. It might be good if you pay for premium but it’s hard to say because I haven’t been able to really see what the app offers by using the free version. The constant ads and request to pay made me a little turned off which is too bad because I did like the few lessons I was able to access. They probably shouldn’t bother having a free version..Version: 0.0.306
✓ Loved it, still kinda doThis app has incredible features and I really enjoyed using it when I first got it about a month ago. I took a break and come back to find so many features now behind a paywall. I used to be able to switch between languages which is something I really appreciated. I do love the app but now I’m stuck with Japanese which is really sad. I understand needing to pay for some features but sticking to one language almost ruins the app for me..Version: 0.0.168
✓ Worst app ever wa good at first when you didn’t have to pay money to playIt was a very bad app because you could only play for one day and learn one language until you buy premium just stay in it was not good I give it a one star it was the worst like some bots can’t even teach you like you have to you have to pronounce it right and over and over again and my future sister you did it wrong it’s the worst.Version: 0.0.280
✓ What a Shame FalouThis app really does seem like a great way to learn French and I’d have loved to continue using it. Unfortunately, it’s completely over shadowed by the extremely aggressive and manipulative marketing of their premium service. Not only does the app try everything to persuade you that premium is worth it; even suggesting that if you don’t have the money, you should just buy it anyway, but the free version of the app is so unusable that it forces you into paying. I understand that this is the business model of a lot of these freemium apps, but the way this one in particular goes about it crosses a line for me. I believe I would have happily brought a premium subscription at full price if I was aloud to enjoy the free version of the app (which could have been supported with normal ads) for a week or two to make sure it’s something I really wanted to spend my money on. Unfortunately, I can’t support an app with such predatorial business strategies..Version: 0.0.241
✓ ❗🔴 Read those 5 points before you download it1. It's so wrong the app doesn't teach students about initials and finals in the Chinese language. It not only creates bad habits but confuses a lot. 2. No basic grammar. Not even a bit? Nothing? Developers should check well-designed apps like Duolingo. 3. Lesson one of Chinese was easy and doable, I purchased the app, and the next lessons are incomparably and incredibly harder. The next, second topic with lessons on the learning path is much much more complex. It's just not possible to even pronounce it anymore for someone who starts studying the language. I expect the same design in other languages. 4. Every now and then, the app forces you to wait a minute after lessons as it automatically generates videos out of one of the lessons where students' pronouns text. It's such a poor UX and desperate try to make users promote their product. 5. In some lessons there’s a bug, in which the app maximizes the sound of the phone while playing all the text. For those reasons. I do not recommend the app!.Version: 0.0.312
✓ BetterIt’s more better then doulingo finding out where you live and get kidnapped so use this app to stay safe from doulingo😭.Version: 0.0.310
✓ Stupid adsThe ads are honestly ridiculous. You can’t do anything without an ad and they disturbed y’all learning it’s stupid like remove the ads. Why remove the ads and it will be a good app. Honestly that’s why I’m deleting the app because I keep getting ads every single second I click on it, which is very stupid I’m not gonna subscribe I don’t have that kind of money to subscribe to every bundle I see..Version: 0.0.318
✓ Frustrating - doesn’t recognise GermanSitting with a German who said there was nothing wrong with my pronunciation the app didn’t recognise the words. He tried. It still didn’t recognise them. Frustrating and confidence destroying. :/.Version: 0.0.281
✓ Agressive with adsI’ve never seen an app more agressive with ads. Between each “lesson” which is rudimentary rinse and repeat garbage they try to get you to subscribe to their overpriced yearly plan and badger you with a loud unskippable non mutable ad about how well it works. 1/10 would not recommend. I’ve used Duolingo for a year and it’s a 1000x better..Version: 0.0.310
✓ Awful onboarding experienceFirst I’m greeted with too many questions, have to create an account, then get hit with the creepiest animated emoji intro ever. Then it tells me off for not enabling “push”, by which it means notifications. No, Falou. You tell me why you want to send me notifications and I might consider. The final straw is the premium payment screen before you even get to try a lesson, followed immediately by a limited time discount if you decline that one. I’m not a freeloader - I’m happy to pay for a good app. But let me see whether you have a good app before making me pay for it, and don’t use manipulative pricing practices when doing so. Uninstalled..Version: 0.0.309
✓ Has major problemsI wanted the app to be useful but it is having major issues in Hungarian. Reading the review it seems good so it may be a language specific issue. The main issues I have is when attempting to do the words section, around half of the words the audio does not work. It acts as if it is saying a work but no sound plays. It makes completing the section hard because it is supposed to say the word and you pick what is being said but if no word is being said it impossible to pick correctly. Another minor issue is the certificates they give you for the time you use the app for. Mine never opens when I attempt to look at it. Not a big issue since the certificates do not matter but I paid for a premium subscription and support is no existent when I contacted them about the issues with the app. If you use it only use the free version..Version: 0.0.300
✓ Voice recognition is pretty badNot sure what it is because it seems to be using the stock voice recognition on the iPhone but it’s just not picking things up. I speak into the app and it’s only picking up possibly half of what I’m saying. I go to any other language dictation app like DeepL or even apples stock voice recorder and it picks everything up. Also it seems to keep all your voice recordings which is a little strange to me. The AI generated voices in Spanish aren’t the greatest but I’ve searched the web high and low and it does seem they’re using the best options currently out there. Other than that it’s a cool concept and great way to practice speaking but given the failure to record and transcribe properly it’s tough to recommend. Editing to add, it seems like during the testing phrase the blanks to be filled in don’t cover the entire phrase. There were numerous times I was saying the right things to fill in the blanks but the phrase they wanted me to say was longer and that’s the reason I was not passing to the next part. It’s still not picking up the same transcription as other apps such as DeepL though..Version: 0.0.301
✓ Honest review please read.I’m learning Spanish and this a great app for learning new vocabulary and simple things. Sometimes they bombard you with long sentences that are near impossible to complete. Which I feel needs to NOT be in there. Maybe break the sentences up then later put them together for the longer sentence. Recently an update came where they added a listening and speaking session that is EXTREMELY irritating, especially when you’ve already completed folders, they’re now not done. It’s so boring so say “hola”… “buenos”……”días”…. And if anything it discourages me from using the app. There’s no skip option on one of them so you HAVE to do it. It’s a good app sometimes, but I feel like the creators don’t know what they’re doing and are focusing on the wrong areas. Good focuses are ACTUALLY FIXING THE APP. When I’m doing the speech parts (yes including all the easy ones that are pointless) won’t hear a word and say the entire sentence is wrong. When saying “buenos” literally a one worded part, said I got it wrong, so you have to shout your words and basically say it the wrong way so the app thinks you’re correct. But instead the developers like to focus on random bitmoji aspects and things that just ruin the app in the end. It’s a good app for certain tools, but definitely frustrating and confusing at times..Version: 0.0.195
✓ Unnatural and casual sentencesI wanted to practice my Korean speaking skills since due to COVID-19 I haven’t had any opportunities to practice and improve. I started by using the business course and it was fine. However, I took a look at the language taught in the other courses and I was shocked. The scenario was supposed to be running into a stranger on the street, but the phrases taught were completely casual language and just seem like they were put through a translator. In Korea, casual language on the first meeting is a big NO, and I feel that teaching this to beginners with no prior knowledge of Korean culture or the honorific system is super dangerous. You’re putting new language learners on a road to humiliation when they are supposed to feel proud of themselves the first time they speak in a new language. Please consider having your lessons checked by native speakers before you release them..Version: 0.0.119
✓ So many addsI Downloaded the app and I hadn’t even chosen a language but I had to go through 3 adds and was asked to pay for premium (200 dollars) Later on I finally chose Korean and then more adds and special discount, The concept of the app is good but you kinda know something’s wrong when you spend more time watching adds than completing lessons..Version: 0.0.303
✓ I DONT WANT THE PREMIUM!!It’s a good app but it’s so annoying getting constantly bombarded by unskippable ads trying to make you buy the premium. It turned me off using the app. If you are going to make a free version, at least make it somewhat enjoyable to use, otherwise there is no point and there should only be the paid version. 🤷♂️.Version: 0.0.290
✓ MehSo far while I’ve used the app it’s been good, speaking exercises, memorizing words and phrases are great. But why should I have to pay to continue learning and why is there a daily limit? I got your competition on the other line, Spanishdict allows people to learn at their own pace for however long and for free. That app also allows you to have lists of words you can review on your own and conjugation drills. Duolingo has the same type of lesson plan, but you can learn for as long as you want so long as you have the hearts (which if you lose any, you can practice to get more or spend in game currency to refill). Those apps have premium subscriptions sure, but they aren’t cramming it down your throat to a point where you have to buy it in order to learn the language that you want to learn. Again, this app is great, but we shouldn’t have to be spending money to learn for as long as we want when other apps don’t put a prohibit on their users.Version: 0.0.268
✓ Wish I could get my money backI am attempting to learn Japanese and as an English speaker, it’s rather difficult when it comes to writing it. The “writing lessons” are completely ineffective since there is no learning to help with the character meaning or even the sound of the characters so I can figure out where they would fit in the response, especially the Kanji characters. I am learning on the Duolingo app which gives me the necessary lessons on the Hiragana and Katakana so I can figure those out but considering that there are over 2,000 Kanji characters that are used in daily language, it seems counterintuitive to expect people to know which character order it is for the response without any type of help on what the characters even sound like. My only option is to reveal the answer and then type it in. That is not helpful in any way because I learn nothing from it. This type of writing lesson may work for other languages but definitely not for Japanese, or I suspect any other language that is not a Latin or Germanic based language..Version: 0.0.292
✓ It’s not as helpful as it should beI initially rated this app 5 stars before because it has a nice design and emphasizes practicing your listen and writing skills and speaking accurately. Now, however, I have noticed that there are other things about this app that are lacking. I already know a lot of French from taking 4 years of it in school but I wanted to start practicing again because I’m starting to lose it. Because I already have a lot of experience, the app isn’t completely terrible for me but from what I’ve seen I don’t think this app is that good for beginners. It doesn’t really break things down for someone that would like to learn how to form sentences and communicate well in a new language. If you start using it without already knowing some vocabulary, verb conjugations, and sentences structure, it will likely take you a while to figure it out if you’re using solely this app. I’m probably going to keep using it but I thought it was important to give this warning..Version: 0.0.167
✓ Mixed feelingsThe app is slick overall but there are some issues. I’m not keen on the animated talking characters. I imagine a lot of effort and cost goes into it, yet consumes the user’s time, contributes no educational value, and can be annoying. Some sentences are too long to recite, and can be tedious to complete especially when some words, though pronounced properly, are rejected over and over again (very frustrating). I think there should be less pressure and more time given to consider the best price premium deal. Would appreciate being able to sample other categories content without paying first to get a better idea of suitability. Would like to try again if the above is improved..Version: 0.0.239
✓ Voice recognitionI had to say something way too many times in Greek and repeated multiple times and when I made the mistake it said it was a huge improvement. I don’t know if this is part of the training to keep my accent up or not?.Version: 0.0.301
✓ LimitI don’t know why Falou have done this but you’ve added a time limit for each day when someone can use the app not only is this incredibly annoying but less people are willing to want to buy your course if you keep rubbing it in their face maybe if there wasn’t a time limit and you allowed people to experience with it first then more people would maybe be interested in buying the course just a head ups 👍🏻.Version: 0.0.306
✓ Gets too hard too fast!Only 3 days of learning from this app is awesome, but I’m already on lesson 55, I think you should creat another tab before the challenge saying,”practice challenge. It allows you to practice before the challenge. I think that should be practice because going back to other lessons to practice, you have to repeat the same sentence that you already know how to pronounce. It’s annoying. So you should say,”Go to the first tab that says practice’ that will help you warm up for the challenge. This could be helpful and you could probably get a lot of money for it because more and more people will learn a lot from your app is you just add the 1 little new feature. If I were the creator, I would keep on thinking of new things to put on my creations so more and more people play it. And the pro thing is too much money, lower the amount..Version: 0.0.250
✓ Sooo annoyingI’ve given this 3 stars as the app is great for learning but it literally tries to manipulate you into buying premium and when I say after every single challenge it’s an advert of them trying to get you to buy premium I mean it they are so consistent with it and make you think that you can’t do good without premium which I do find really irritating otherwise this app would be so good.Version: 0.0.178
✓ 1/5First off, the app is only usable if you pay. Its too irritating to use it with ads constantly spamming you to buy their app. I did end up paying, however I came to the realisation that the speech recognition is so awfully made, that its almost impossible to go through some of the lessons in Danish; which someone fluent cant even get it to recognise words as simple as ‘Ok’ (not joking btw). Lastly, its clear that the Danish course (not sure about others but would assume similar) is quite literally Google translated without any proof reading behind it. I wanted to learn body parts from the Vocab section, ended up being taught that ‘back’ (as in the major body part that we cannot survive without) is translated to tilbage in Danish, however it is actually ryg which is a very obvious case of google translate. Cant imagine how bad it is for the other languages. Please save your money and time..Version: 0.0.281
✓ It’s good but not always so effectiveHi creators of falou I have this game for 3 days but it’s already driving my nuts!! 😠 (very very serious problems) 1st prob. I’m one of the people that don’t have permission to pay I just wanted to learn french I have some problems in learning it so I just wanted to improve my french… I’m crying 😢 because I can’t even learn my favourite language… but I can’t because you guys don’t… let me. 2nd prob When I say veux it understands viens my friend is also complaining (because she’s french but speaks English) and that give her serious headaches and now she has to go to the hospital because of you guys that is not good but now I don’t recommend this game just when he fixes this 2 problems please creator improve this game!!😒😩😢😢😢.Version: 0.0.189
✓ Vietnamese course averageEverything is this to make this a great app to learn Vietnamese. Frustratingly it’s only offered in northern Vietnamese and the people talking in speak only the northern dialect. So if you speak southern or middle it’s not worth it. If you speak northern this would be an amazing app for you.Version: 0.0.253
✓ Good concept but broken lessonsThe app in concept is good however the Malay course specifically is broken. Specifically early lessons mostly work but later on there are missing assets such as audio files in virtually every lesson in the Words section as well as duplicate options to answer with only one of which is accepted even though they are identical. Some of the spoken lessons I believe are broken too such as an early one involving the word “Ringgit” that wouldn’t match even for my wife and relatives who are Malaysian native speakers. Reported the bugs but got no response so eventually gave up on that. There are some more minor quibbles that other apps make too like not telling you what you said in both languages in some question and answer formats so you don’t get that learning reinforcement but they are less “breaking” Its a good app in concept and very few apps teach Malay in this matter so give it a try but prepare to be frustrated. If they review the course and fix all the missing assets and bugs I would probably rank it a lot higher and other languages may be better tested..Version: 0.0.286
