Ratings and Reviews
Premium is worth it
If you’re serious about self studying a language I think it’s well worth it to purchase the serious student subscription (when it offers you 50% off!) saying that, the app is great with the free features and lessons too. I’ve been learning much better and retaining more than with other apps like duolingo. My favourite part is that you can do writing and speaking exercises and be corrected by native speakers. I think that might be a paid feature but it’s been really useful, I’m friendly with some people now who correct my exercises and I correct theirs (:
Disappointing Experience with Unauthorized Renewal & Lack of Accountability
I purchased a one-year subscription to Busuu last year while it was on sale, knowing I wouldn’t want to renew it. To avoid any unwanted charges, I canceled it immediately after purchasing. However, despite this, I was unexpectedly charged €60 for another year’s subscription.
I reached out to their support team, explaining the situation and mentioning that I never received any notification about the renewal. Their initial response was dismissive, insisting that I definitely received an email. To prove otherwise, I sent them screenshots showing that no such email was in my inbox or spam folder. Instead of addressing this or taking any responsibility, they ignored my evidence entirely and simply offered a 50% refund as a so-called act of "good faith."
It’s frustrating that Busuu failed to properly notify me of the renewal and then refused to acknowledge their mistake when I provided clear proof. The lack of transparency and accountability is disappointing, and I would caution others to be wary of their subscription practices. I won’t be using Busuu again, and I strongly encourage others to think twice before subscribing.
Content is great, but the app is buggy
I’ve been using Busuu to learn English, Arabic, and German. The content is excellent and, based on my observation, it can take users from a beginner to an upper-intermediate or even near-advanced level. Compared to Dulixngx I find Busuu’s lessons more structured and comprehensive.
I really like how they provide translations into my native language (Indonesian) for practicing sentences. This feature is very helpful and is not available with other competitors so far.
However, the most annoying issue is that when I access the app on another device (like my other phone, iPad, or the web on my desktop), it takes a very long time to log in again on my primary phone. I often have to delete or uninstall the app, reinstall it, and then log in again for it to work. Duxlingx doesn’t seem to have this problem, making it more convenient for multi-device use.
