Reviews for Ling – Language Learning App

I’ve tried a lot of language apps, Duolingo, drops, jump speak, and more. Tagalog options are limited in most apps on the market. This is the first app that I’ve found with Tagalog that gives real applicable conversational inputs. I love the real life examples of sentences and conversations. I just tried the conversation simulator […]

It’s the best tool I’ve found for learning the language I’m interested in (Marathi), and it’s got enough content that I will probably keep paying when the free trial ends, but the app itself has a couple problems – the speaking lessons are very buggy on my phone, and I also find it very annoying […]

Really easy to use with lots of lessons divided into neat categories from beginner to advanced. Reading, writing, and spoken exercises give a well rounded foundation in your preferred language. Ling is probably my favorite app for learning languages on the go. The free version offers enough value to convince serious students to go pro. […]

Using the Android version. It’s great to finally have an app for Farsi. The UI is very pretty and easy to use. I think that the free vs pro versions could be separated differently. For example, separating them by having one with ads and one without ads like Duolingo. Or by features like having one […]

I love the audio and sentence quality, bite-sized lessons, and fun dialogues at the end of each lesson. However, it would be beneficial to be able to review vocab at the end of the unit or multiple units. As it is, the reviews are unit by unit and are merely lists of vocab. Even simple […]

Lots of fun using this app to learn Irish! The interactive part is great; you listen to an Irish speaker say a sentence and then form the sentence yourself from multiple choice words. You can go as slow or fast as you like, also have the sentence repeated again and again. It also sends encouraging […]

The app is easy and fun to use. The chat box option is a great way to feel like you are actually in a conversation. The lessons are filled with great vocabulary. I also love that there is a review option of all lessons currently covered. However the app would be better if there was […]

It’s pretty good. I’m learning Cantonese. I’m mostly satisfied, and am building a good vocabulary. However not all translations make sense and I have to consult a native speaker to understand. Also, it sometimes focuses on rote memorization rather than understanding. There are subtle nuances to the language that are glossed over and the dialog […]

Editing from 3⭐ to 4⭐. They’re still working on the speech to text issues, so that part of my complaint will remain. However, following through on a complaint ticket was easy to do and their response was timely, so I’m hopeful this issue will be resolved. Other than that it’s a good app to learn […]

I have a premium subscription and have completed 30/50 of the Bosnian lessons as of this review. First thing to note is that the lessons are not comprehensive. You’ll learn 4 colors, 4 months, and 4 days of the week. So you won’t know how to say “I’m wearing a yellow hat on a Wednesday […]

Cute design, lots of languages, but cookie cutter courses. Since the courses for all 52 languages are the same, I can’t have confidence that the content is accurate nor natural. As this is a major design flaw and not a singular mistake, I would hope that the team behind this app is taking a proactive […]

not happy, overpriced. There are not many apps for learning Croatian, so I am trying Ling. The free trial seemed OK, so I signed up for the 1 year membership. I now feel that $80 is far too much for what is offered. There are incomplete features, some sections just say “TRANSLATION”, “EXAMPLE”, as if […]

I’m happy to see Tagalog on a language learning app! I grew up speaking it fluently but I’m slowly forgetting some words. The lessons are useful and fun but I wish you could take a comprehension test to skip all of the earlier lessons. I also had some trouble with the app recognizing what I’m […]

Perfect for a quick lesson to stay on top of grammer and vocabulary. The ability to turn off Romanization really makes this app perfect for reading comprehension. EDIT: However, the speaking modules don’t allow enough time for beginners to finish speaking. It would helpful to have a ‘stop’ button rather than being cut off.

Not many apps include Thai, but this one does and it’s great. The clear pronunciation is fantastic and extremely helpful! I like that it’s not a “gamey” way of learning. My only critic is that I wish the lessons were a bit more linear…starting with the alphabet. Besides that, I am retaining what I am […]

I feel I am only learning the language while on the app. Once I am out of the app, I don’t know the language. I think it should have more resources and context of what I am learning. They should have more games with the subscription. Doesn’t seem to have structure. I wish it had […]

I love the concept. The spoken recording part is hit or miss. I thought I was mispronouncing words until I had a native speaker record and even they got it wrong. Customer service essentially said it was “user error”, so no resolution. Also the lifetime membership is very expensive. I went with drops instead and […]

So far I’ve been having a pretty good time with this app, it’s doing what Dup is doing but in a way that actually is nicer to work with. It also has languages that I’ve been wanting to learn which are not very common like Irish and Vietnamese! My only problem at the moment is […]

I was enjoying myself and lessons were going smooth, until I made it to the second chapter at the speaking lesson. it freezes – I can’t record, I can’t skip, and so I can’t progress any further. Not sure if it’s a bug or glitch that needs fixing, but I’m stuck and not sure if […]

“Unlock all lessons to progress 3x faster”? You mean to progress at all right? Only two lessons are available. You have to pay for anything more. That isn’t enough to know how helpful this app may be. I was hoping to add it to my rotating roster of language learning apps, but there isn’t a […]
