Ratings and reviews

This app has lots of content, but it's not organized well, and the interface is, unfortunately, simply unusable. It's difficult to "continue learning", i.e. pick up wherever you left off, whether it be in the middle of a lesson, or between lessons that are grouped together in a course. It's also difficult, or perhaps impossible, to identify whether you have already completed a lesson or course. A for the idea, C- for the content and organization, F for the UI/UX, F overall.

This is the best single resource you can use to understand a language through listening and reading. But it is only what you make of it. This app won't hold your hand through a language like Duolingo and some other apps, but this is a good thing. LingQ works best as a customizable experience, you should be learning the language through content that appeals to you whether it's articles, books, podcasts, YouTube, or screenplays. No other app promotes a better approach to language learners.

The concept is A+. The UX & UI are horrendous: Green plus button that deletes is the same green plus button to add to "Continue learning", you can only import from the Lessons page and not from the individual course, going to Playlist has a Courses section but none of my courses show up, the tutorial to add a meaning has shown up multiple times with no way of skipping/disabling it, no way to disable gamification streak notifications, import doesn't support formatting, and more. Mobile & PC user.

What's new

- Improvements to onboarding;
- Better library experience;
- More accurate audio listening times tracking;
- Improvement to course navigation (start or continue button);
- Fix to crash on Android 6.0;
- Fix to streak popup sometimes freezing;
- Stability improvements and other bug fixes.
