Hey. I tried a trial period and found out I knew everything from there. It took me about one hour to look through everything they provided. I texted them about it and asked fory refund. They texted me back next day and said they cancelled my subscription. Thank you for it. This app is good for beginners. If you have zero experience in English it will probably help you to boost your vocabulary. if you are fluent but still want to grow.. this app is not for you!
Reviews for Language Learning by Promova
← Back to Language Learning by PromovaTerrible - Do Not Use Promova! Promised individual program was not provided. They test your knowlwdge and then place you at the very beginning (I am advanced lerner). It looks like a scam, honestly. They advertised as interactive reading in a foreign language, but I it is not available. They ask you for all these additional fees, even I have paid for the premium level. Do not use.
As someone who's learning French, it's good for vocab, but not for retaining the information. You can't review after you've finished, you can't type out conversations or how they should go, you can't speak it. You have to just hope that you understand the multiple choice. But this doesn't set you up for speaking French or writing French in the real world. So, I'd have to say, it's really not too good for that.
They make a big deal about evaluating you for a customized experience, but it amounts to nothing worth the effort. Then they charge you $20 to be on ad infested platform. Take my money or serve ads, not both tyvm. Still waiting for my refund! Now they tell me I need to use the app until level 7 in order to get a refund. These guys are total scum, scan artists. Don't waste your money you will never get it back.. im stillll waiting
What in the world..... I tried canceling this end of July last year but it was difficult so I emailed them about it. They replied saying they canceled my subscription IN AUGUST 2021. I thought I was paying for another app for awhile but I just discovered Ive been paying $14.99 to them every month since!!! Don't use this app, they lie to you! Definitely reporting this. I'm glad I still have the emails of theirs saying the canceled. I'm fuming
This is the best language learning app that I have tried! (And I have tried several.) The spoken prompts feel more like natural French speakers and the modules are very practical. I speak a little French but have no confidence in putting together sentences and my pronunciation. The way the lessons are organized, I am gaining confidence. I love it.
Do not even bother to download this app. It is USELESS! The only thing they are really good at is charging you fees. I was charged for the first time $1.00 the same day they charged me $9.99 and the next month they charged me another $9.99! And now I am having trouble to unsuscribe from this app because you cannot cancel the subscription from the Google play store. You will need to deal with the Words Booster directly. I already send them an email and I'm waiting on their response.
This app has a very cool marketing on Instagram that convinced me to try it. However, after logging in, the app itself is nothing more than a bunch of "fancy" flashcards. There is nothing wrong about it, but I cannot see the value, especially after being motivated by the Instagram ad that shows a completely different vibe and experience. I would take it for free or a very low fee, but it is definitely not worth the money.
TERRIBLE - these guys very deceptively steal money from you. Automatic 'subscription' after trial period does not show up in your Google play subscriptions, and in their emails of course the link to upgrade to premium (though they've already gone ahead and signed you up anyway) works, but the link to cancel it does not. When you try to cancel within the app, of course it takes you to a bot messanger, rather than a simpler unsubscribe, that doesn't respond. thieves!!
Not worth subscription. I finished the ENTIRE German language course in 1 week. After more than a year, they have added no new content. At the rate I am going, I expect to finish the ENTIRE French course in 2 weeks. After more than a year of use, they have not added any new content nor added any new languages to learn. In the end, this is a pathetic app (Use Duolingo instead, it has more languages and more content updated regularly) that is just not worth the subscription.
I downloaded it after I saw an advertisement for advanced speaker features. After paying for a trial I was given a questionnaire to gauge my level. I'm an advanced speaker. My first lesson was the word apple. I couldn't believe it. There was no way to access the feature advertised. No direct way to cancel other than sending an email. Then they told me I would not get a refund unless I unlocked level 7. 🙄 only gave me a refund after I insisted it was deceptive.
It's terrible that even after I paid this subscription, I must watch the noisy ad (commercial videos over 30 seconds) in the app so many times, and it is unable to skip. It really intercepts my studying and learning. So, although I already paid the 1-year subscription membership fee, I can not use it. I don't want to be stressed about it more.
Abdolutely horrible and I have never written that about a product before. First of all, never buy a "lifetime" subscription from Google Play because they say they can't refund your purchase. They can only cancel future payments. I requested the refund within one hour of my purchase and they are declining to return my $34. Second, the app is faulty because in part of the practice you identify the spanish word for what is shown in a picture however the picture does not appear, only an odd emoji.
For non-native speakers it's even more difficult to cancel.. Thinking $1 was for the app and had no clue, $19.99 would continue to come out.... To be honest, this is the worst app purchase I've done I'm absolutely pissed. It's not even about the money it's just the principle or lack thereof. No one should endure a monthly subscription of something they were not even clear about whether it was a subscription service or not in the first place... unless clearly stated within the app the service and cost every buyer would feel cheated at some point. I want my $$$ back.
Absolute scam. I took a free trial and realized the course consists of little more than fancy flashcards. I cancelled the subscription on the same day the free trial was set to expire and was still charged for an entire year at $72.02. I was not notified that I was charged and so did not realize until some weeks later. The company jerked me around as they tried to "verify" my purchase and is still refusing a refund. A really poor quality product with deceptive and unhelpful customer support.
Total scam and waste of money. I bought the premium version of this last year after getting heavy advertising on IG. The program doesn't even do what they ARE STILL advertising to me. It's nothing more than flash cards with very basic vocabulary. I was shocked when I finished the levels available only to find that it was the end of the program. The only update they've made is changing the name. I presume too many people caught onto this scam, so they needed a rebrand. I want my $40 back.
Opened app to be bombarded with subscription ads, close that and get hit with a special promo for their subscription. I haven't even used the product yet, give it at least a minute. After using it for a little, the content is fine. Although I disagree with the subscription price, it might be fine for someone learning a supported language. I was hoping to learn traditional Chinese and that's not (as of now) currently supported.
Extremely aggressive upselling. They quietly sold me a completely useless PDF for 10 euros without clear notice. I don't want to use a product where I can't feel safe. They take advantage of my focus on language learning for sneaky, small-scale pickpocketing. Would you like a few more alternative versions depending on the tone you want — for example, more formal, sharper, or slightly softer?
Extremely disappointing! They walk you through the "exam" and give you a sense that this is a comprehensive and interesting course. But then you have to pay. No free trial. By the time you discover how inadequate the course is, they already have your money. Great business model for getting money. Poor education model for those who want to learn.
This is the best learning app I've come across! It doesn't force ads, and if you want to continue the lesson you can choose to watch an ad to unlock. The app gives great explanations, and is great at helping with pronounciation! I recommend this app if you're looking for a good learning that app that teaches you things you wouldn't otherwise learn elsewhere without the hassle of ads every 2 minutes.
