★★★★★Joe Woodbury· May 18, 2025
This app provides all sorts of reading topics that are written in your chosen language that have audio for each sentence and the ability to tap on all words to get their definitions. Reading and listening are powerful ways to learn a new language and this app has a straightforward approach to provide both modes of learning. I highly recommend it.

Cannot even use the app, asking for credit card details right away. It claims for 7 days free trial but who wants to give credit card details if I cannot even try first. It's so old-fashioned. Just going to delete it, cannot be bothered.
★☆☆☆☆Evzen Pomschar· Mar 7, 2025
I uninstalled this app as quickly as I installed it. I couldn't even open it. Just got a front frozen page of something, and that was it.
★☆☆☆☆Douglas Viljoen· Mar 23, 2025
This app doesn't work, it opens to a screen where you can do absolutely nothing, what a waste of time!!!!
★☆☆☆☆Igor Podgornik· Aug 13, 2026
For all of you checking the comments, let me help you. App is not free, of course, and they immediately start asking for money after installation. I removed it after 10 seconds.
