Reviews for Beelinguapp Language Learning

Not recommended unless you like the convenience. I’m trying to learn Hindi, which this app supports (good!). Unfortunately, the stories are poorly selected. Most children’s stories are in the past tense. This isnt useful when you begin learning – you need a variety of tenses. Also, the Hindi speaker does not speak clearly and his […]

This app seemed great until I started learning both Greek and Portuguese on it… Unlike every other language learning app I have ever tried, Beelinguapp does NOT keep your languages separate… My flashcards are a now a mix of random Greek and Portuguese words together in the same stack with no way to separate them […]

I liked the concept of the app but the execution was not… First, the screen format was wonky and thin (words & buttons were missing). I tried deleting and redownloading, but it still didn’t work. Second, all the art was AI which made the app feel kind of eerie and cheap. Then the subscription… Usually […]

If you’re looking for something free, don’t bother with the app if you hate constant ads even in a premium trial. There are constant popups and notifications to get premium and so much blocked content for a free user to pay for premium. As much as the content is nice there are other options out […]

Favorite language learning app. The format being in stories is great, as it gives context to all the words and phrases being used. The fact that the reading speed has multiple speed options is great and that each story and sentence can be listened to at will. Basically, Beelingua puts the control back in my […]

Great idea, terrible app. I have yet to find a single story for learning Spanish. (idk why, it’s not like it’s an obscure language!) Worse, you can’t even search by language! You can search by genre and difficulty, and you save your languages in the settings, but it apparently means nothing. You have to individually […]

Great idea, but very poorly executed (at least for Portuguese). For the handful of stories I went through, I found there was at least some audio issues. Some of the text would not match exactly what the reader was saying. But the most frustrating part of the experience is the volume of the recording would […]

It’s perfect for my reading studies. I’m trying to incorporate a natural voice when reading Hangul (Korean), hanzi (Mandarin), and the mixed alphabet of Japanese. It’s greatly improved my literacy rate and I’ve began to easily recognize so many sounds. It’s also improved my memory rate on the characters. Overall, it was what I was […]

I would’ve given this app a 4-star rating if it wasn’t for all the premium-pushing. I liked that I could change the base language and ladder two languages; I can’t do that now, it’s paid. I liked that the news was always free; that’s no longer the case, many of them are paid. I never […]

Downloaded this app a long time ago and gave it five stars. Unfortunately I’m coming back to remove two stars because they’ve seriously cut down on free content. Most books are premium, including many that I have previously read. Now what books are available don’t appeal to me at all (why would an American want […]

I wanted to try out the free version before paying for the rest of the app. However, it’s sometimes unclear which features are free and which aren’t. It won’t even define vocab words for you for free! Ugh. Also, I tried to play the vocabulary “mini game” after reading a story, but it was completely […]

I’m on day two of the 7 day trail and im thinking of buying it. the illustrations are cute and it’s a great useful idea. very convenient but I’m not sure how in 6 years since it’s been developed you have this amount of content .create more stories would you??? bit embarrassing I’m not totally […]

I bought the program, and initially tried to redeem the voucher on my desktop, but when I put in the coupon code nothing happened. So I decided, maybe it has to be on my cell phone. I logged into Google on my cell per the insructions, downloaded Beelinguapp, but upon opening it went straight to […]

I downloaded the app as an alternative to Duo as the reviews were good. I’m only on my second day of the free trial and have encountered multiple problems already. Day 1. The story I was reading froze. Couldn’t go back or forward. Even restarting the app didn’t help and I couldn’t use it for […]

2nd update: Uninstalled. Used to be five stars, now one. Stories are locked, even if you are a premium member. It seems you’re being forced to read certain stories in a specific order to unlock the next one. Makes sense if you’re using the free version, but not if you pay for premium. Having the […]

This app does not work. I’ve tried on my phone and my tablet and I cannot actually use it. Downloads start at 10% and never progress past that. EDIT: I tried downloading a story that was at the wrong level and that worked, but I still cannot download the correct story. App also put me […]

It’s cute, but the voices have no emotion. It’s like they’re AI generated. So wouldn’t help you much with processing native inflections and speech patterns. And I wish they had longer stories so I could listen to them like a podcast while working. Still a good app for the price, and would recommend to a […]

Select a word to translate provides the translation, but I can’t play the word individually nor can I use the microphone to check my pronunciation. It keeps saying ”No detectable audio” immediately. It’s weird that it can read the story in its entirety but it can’t read individual words when selected. The stories are nice, […]

I love this app. Great for passive learning and practice both listening and reading. Stories are short and bite-sized. You can pull out vocab you want to practice from them and make flash cards. Only thing is the app is kind of buggy. On some of the flashcards, the wrong audio file plays. The games […]

I really enjoy the variety of stories, but some of the mechanics of this app can be frustrating. For example, when reading a story, I often like to pause, re-read, and study any words in which I am unfamiliar. However, when I pause, I am automatically pushed to the next page of text, even if […]
