This app is so great! It’s the perfect balance of guidance and self-teaching. I can go over things as much as I need, until I understand the unit. This app breaks everything down in a simple way that’s not too childish. I’ve tried to learn Korean for years now, this is without a doubt the […]

Personally, this is my go-to app for a quick lesson in Korean. I believe it is x10 better than Duolingo! However, although it gives you an option to hear the word slower, I wish they would break the word down even more. Yes, it gives you the romanized way under the way it’s supposed to […]

I’m conflicted on this. I feel like a beginner (in Japanese) would feel like they got thrown in the deep end, & close to nothing is explained fully, if it all. Going through it initially, the only reason it was ok for me was because I’ve already done duolingo & got used to it, I […]

Update: this was a great platform to learn korean, but then it updated with a very early pay wall. I think users should get to try more lessons before deciding if it is worth it. If you want to purchase it, this app stimulates visual and auditory learning centers. it not only teaches you vocab, […]

it’s a great, taught me alot and made me motivated to learn. my only issue with this app is that I had used it for so long and at the time I downloaded it, all courses were free, only certain features were for payment. but I redownloaed it, logged in, and mid way through a […]

My favourite app for learning Korean. Vastly better than Duolingo. I like the recent UI changes, apart from the ability to save your streak by paying money. That seems to go against the ethos of learning a language. Overall though Lingodeer has helped me improve my understanding of Korean vocab and grammar.

I like that there is more order to advancing than with duolingo. I know they state that when learning a new language, one should start with more advanced words instead of the basic, but for some learners, starting with the basics is better, and this app provides that opportunity. Adding a section to learn words […]

I have started using this app after Duolingo switched to an AI-first learning approach, and I have no complaints with it so far! it will take me some time to get used to the different user interface as I’m so used to Duolingo, but it’s not all that difficult honestly! I was also extremely happy […]

I’ve just started using this. It fills all the gaps I didn’t like about trying to use duolingo for Japanese learning. I absolutely love it and bought it as soon as I burned through the free resources. The feedback on audio is especially helpful and the additional practice section, too! I do think Kana lessons […]

Great app, but little by little they’re pay locking features that were PREVIOUSLY FREE FOR YEARS. Don’t know why Tips/knowledge-cards section on each lesson is consider “Premium” when it’s static content that gives an introductory overview on the lesson you’re about to learn. It’s like giving you a math problem without teaching you how to […]

The course content is really good and I have learned a lot from this app. However, it is really frustrating that there is some bug with tracking streaks. Half the time I finish a lesson, and it shows the animation saying my streak was extended, but when I go to look at my streak calendar, […]

The free 7 day trail isn’t free. They splash it all over the app and I liked the little bit of access I had so I wanted to try the premium version but what isn’t immediately clear it’s the free trial is only if you sign up for the annual subscription, not monthly. I reached […]

the app is free, but makes you pay for the rest of the lessons and every other useful feature after the FIRST short section. Under someone elses review the devs said if you do the alphabet section and finish it all then you can “progress to the rest of the lessons for free” but thats […]

I really like this app best for aesthetic reasons. I was all set to plop for the full version so I could download lessons, then I found out you can’t unlock (or download) a section until you’re done with the one previous… EDIT – yes you can, only you have to drill down in the […]

I love this app, I really do, but it is not perfect. I had no issues, besides one thing that was really a struggle when trying to get through this app. The handwriting feature. I started learning Korean and after learning Hangul I tried the handwriting feature which did not go well. It kept making […]

It’s one of the best apps to learn languages out there. I really love the new and improved interface and updates that have been added. I hope more languages will be added in the future! (especially romanian, please!). Also, it’d be amazing if we can choose to ignore certain words when practicing vocabulary, just so […]

I love lingodeer. It has much better grammar explanation than duolingo or any other app. And i like you can buy it forever, not a subscription. I love recording and comparing my pronunciation with the native speaker. And while i haven’t gotten to all the advanced stuff i want to test myself on yet, it […]

I really enjoy using this app to learn Korean. it helps me better understand the characters, etc. But if you are learning a language with a different alphabet than your mother language, I recommend learning the languages alphabet on your own a little bit before. but it’s a great app to train my listening and […]

I’m currently transitioning from Duolingo to LingoDeer, so it took a little while to get used to. Although, once I did, I rather enjoy it over Duolingo. Though you may already have it, I wish there was a streak notification on my home screen. Anyway, yes, it is a great app. Maybe not exactly a […]

This review is for “Deer Plus” but I wasn’t able to find it so I’m writing it here since this appears to be the same developer. The app would net another star (at the very least) if the its UI didn’t sit under the phone’s universal nav bar located at the base/bottom of the screen. […]
