Reviews for Lingopie: Language Learning

The app itself? When it worked, 5 stars! But when my login failed and they continued to charge me month after month with no way to cancel my account? HECK NO. Their customer service could find no record of me in the system, using my name or either of my emails - and yet they charged my credit card every month! Finally they contacted me to cancel after I posted a bad review. Make sure you keep track of your login information and don't expect much help if things go wrong.

I loved using this app at first. It is a great way to listen to the language and start to learn dialect. Over time I realized that some of the translations are more buffed out than others. I would've given it 3 stars but being ready to move on from the app, I find I couldn't cancel it because google doesn't register it and lingo won't cancel through the app..

Terrible, I though features were going to be better but they are Terrible. You are better off going on disney plus and changing the language to Japanese and putting English subtitles. What ended it for me is that you can't take off the auto pay after "free trial." I mean you can cancel your subscription but your free trial instantly ends. It's not a free try. It's a bait to make you forget to cancel.

I gave four stars because of its potential. The app successfully provides closed captions with the opportunity to click on the captions for the word translation, it then collected the words you clicked on and tests you on them later. However, the tests do not actually help you learn. The tests are multiple choice flash cards. This company needs to hire a learning scientist to design a more effective way of learning the collected words.

LINGOPIE stole my money and now they're trying to hide it! I paid $59.99 for the yearly subscription on May 7th 2021, but every month after they kept charging the $9, so I reached out to them. After going back and forth with them, telling them I want to keep the year subscription, LINGOPIE changed my subscription to monthly but did not refund my $59.99. I have bank statements showing I paid and screenshots showing the yearly subscription on my account.

This has annoyed me right away. I don't have enough control over the app. If I want to split screen while watching. Then I can't see the subtitles. If I want to get out of the automatic full screen, then it's difficult to exit. As it will just pause and play the movie rather than just simply let me out of the app right away. I would like to type the phrases rather than write them down. I guess for now I can write them down instead. * Positive: I'm glad this style of learning exists.

I like the app overall, but I mean given that Spanish is the 2nd fastest language in the world I would like it if I could decrease the speed to much less than 75%. Or maybe just give me a show for babies. Something I can keep up with to start from. Maybe. Also, the new update seems to be causing the little buttons (home, book, and person) to cover the timer at the bottom, making knowing how much time is left, fast-forwarding, and rewinding very difficult.

Just got Lingopie yesterday for German, I'm finding it very difficult to find anything that's honestly entertaining and their catalogue is also just very small. Maybe I'll try it with Netflix before I cancel but though I've been loving the idea of the dual subtitles for a while I'm not enjoying this and thinking it would be better to stick to YouTube with a translator on the side. Also, the interface can be very buggy and the transcription often doesn't stay synced.

Best language app yet! Pick videos you want, play them speed you want, choose if you want English subtitles or just the target language. You can choose to pause after every sentence-- or not. Go forward or backward. Click on words you don't know to get translation and pronunciation; any word you click on gets added to your flashcard file for later review. You can activate the microphone, practice saying sentences, playback to hear how you sound. ENORMOUS selection of video content. LOVE this!!

Absolutely sucks. Absolitely useless. The ad said tv shows and movies. Lie. It's short little talks by people. Netflix won't work on your phone, or anywhere else. Basically, you could watch Spanish movies on amazon with English subtitles, same thing. Or better since it would be something you want to watch with no extra cost. Don't do it. I just threw away $80. In reply to their response; I don't need help with; this won't play on your device. Can't be downloaded to a desktop either. Worthless.
