I love this app. I've been using it over a year. Over the past year it's become very glitchy. I do not receive my double points /1.5x XP points when it says I do (almost half the time)! They also changed how you receive points. Despite purchasing full version, I am still prompted to buy "max." It would be nice if this was included considering it costs over $100 per year for lessons that repeat themselves. Although I do enjoy this app and learning language, I'm not sure if it's worth it.

I really love the app. it's a nice intro to languages. I switched to a free trial so that I had endless hearts and it shows in my use of the app. considering paying for a family subscription but sadly that's the only benefit which doesn't justify cost. what would make this app 5*? providing more friend interactions so that it is more engaged between friends. let us chat or send things in the languages were learning to make it more interactive. but still a great base lang app.

The free version is almost unusable with ads that last forever and all of the community stuff is gone. I did a trial on the MAX version and it's not worth the money. The little listening exercises are just gimmicks and you don't learn anything worth the time. It's such a shame because the old version was so much better. Also AI sucks. This is a lame GAME you earn points at with very basic language matching. It is no longer a language learning app that is just gamified enough to motivate people.
