Community Feedback
Only the latest comments are shown.This is hands-down the most engaging language app Ive ever used. The AI conversations feel real, and the talking avatar makes it fun to practice speaking without anxiety.
I tried a chat section. It's pretty cool, I used another company that's very similar to yours but it didn't recognize speech nearly as well as yours does. The only negative feedback I have for you is the web app seems a little bit buggy on my phone sometimes when you click to hold down for speech it doesn't work very well you have to try it a couple times. I like it though I'm going to try it again.
The app looks interesting, but it's not free. The free version is very limited, and the premium version seems expensive, although it may be worth it.
