Best Language Learning App

I have been looking for an app that offers a large library of graded reading, and this app is perfect. I get nothing out of apps that focus on memorizing random words/sentences and grammar drills. Having the content be in the form of short stories helps so much more to acquire the language in a way I can actually use it. Please don’t ever take this app down.

I will mention: there is a UI issue I find frustrating. When I click on a level (like A1) and choose a story, when I get done and click back, the app takes me back to the Home Screen instead of where I was before. This means I have to click on A1 again, Hide Learned again, and scroll back down, which is annoying.

Developer Response ,

We're delighted to hear that you like our app. We understand the importance of practical language acquisition through stories rather than memorization and drills and that's exactly what we are aiming for. Regarding the UI issue you've mentioned, we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. We are working on fixing this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your support and for being a part of our language learning community!

Fun App for Language Learners

Originally, I wrote a bad review about these guys, but as I considered the situation, I think they were quite competent. I think they have a lot to offer to language learners.

I did stop using the app because of another complicated situation that was connected… but sometimes, crazy things happen, emails accidentally get overlooked, etc. It’s not Langster’s fault. It’s like wreaking your Lamborghini due to texting your friend when you knew you were driving… and now you have a bad memory connected to your friend, yet, it’s not your friends fault.

Try out Langster, they are pretty cool. I’m not a fan of the computer voice, as you can’t shadow with it, but… the app still has a lot to offer. ^_^

Hello Cotton_Candy_Blue, thank you for your comprehensive review.

During the time of support, we specifically instructed how you could
a) cancel your current subscription and
b) request a refund directly via apple.

We reached out to you several times via email and you never replied to any of our emails that we sent to help your case. This is as much as we could do. We truly hope that things took a better turn, your family is ok and hope that you will use Langster again in the future.

Best regards,
Christian
Co-Founder Langster

better than linq

I love the fun and interesting bite sized articles based on real news. It’s not frustrating, it makes you feel that you are accomplishing something and understanding the target language. It gives you more confidence in your abilities and encourages you more. it is well curated, and perfectly matched with your level. It is also well organized. I like it better than linq. Their flashcard system needs improvement, should enable user to schedule/ tweak the amount of reviews per day as not to overwhelm them etc. I just end up copying the vocab to my Anki. I don’t know how often they add new articles, hopefully it is not limited to what it currently in there. I’ll definitely subscribe!
