I’ve been using Jumpspeak for almost a year now. There were definitely bugs in the beginning, but the developers have been super responsive. The app is now a pleasure to use, even if I only have a few minutes to practice Spanish. I found the app online while living in South America. My Spanish was rough, but it was hard to practice speaking and listening comprehension with other people because of anxiety issues. Jumpspeak has helped me feel more confident in my interactions with Spanish-speakers. The conversations on the app are relevant and natural-sounding. I have been told that my accent and flow while speaking Spanish are excellent. I will say that I recommend beginners to use supplemental sources for learning grammar, as Jumpspeak does not focus on that. However, it is by far the best conversational practice tool I have found- especially for people with anxiety. Highly recommend! Glad this app exists!

Let me tell you about my very short experience. I’m trying to become much more fluent in Japanese, and I saw this as a really great tool as I only have few speaking partners and they are all sleeping when I’m awake and want to practice. Enter Jumpspeak. I saw ads for this app and was excited to give it a try. I thought the price was a little steep for essentially an AI practice partner, but if it got me speaking more, I was all for it. Boy was I wrong. The conversational topics seemed forced and limited. Almost as if they didn’t know what else to include in the app to talk about. There were no apparent conversation choices about more relevant topics, making me feel disengaged. Often times the AI would catch itself in what I call a “compliment loop” where you both are saying the same thing over and over add infinitum. Other times, I get the SQL database information (that I shouldn’t get) and in a JAPANESE accent but in ENGLISH the bot reads the DB info. This happened to me 3 times, and each time broke the flow and immersion of the experience. This was enough for me to request a refund. While this app does have massive potential, it’s isn’t there yet. For it to be in release and still have major bugs appear so frequently, but charge so much and for support to be so shallow is unacceptable for me. If things improve, I could potentially be back, but for now, this was a massive waste of my time, research, money, and energy. Unfortunate.

Update: after multiple emails to support before my trial ended, the trial expired and Jumpspeak charged my account. After writing their customer service yet again, they refunded me after several days, first with an attempt to upsell me to another trial (ugh), which I then had to confirm cancellation yet again. Then I got an email purportedly from the founder with another upsell offer 🙈🙄. While I am glad they did refund me, I can’t see myself ever signing up for a headache like this again. Too bad, because the idea for the app is a good one, but the manipulative tactics are a total dealbreaker for this client relationship. Original review: Tried the app during a “free trial” and found it so buggy as to be unusable. However, they required me to send an email to customer service to cancel the subscription. I filed two requests before the end of the trial and got no response. Now the trial has renewed for $$$ and SUDDENLY, the ability to cancel my subscription has unlocked. Special caveat though—it will cancel October 3rd of 2026–meaning, they intend to keep the money they fraudulently charged me while pretending to be addressing the cancelation. I will be filing a complaint with the BBB for this. This seems like a desperate attempt to steal revenue from customers rather than building a truly functional experience that is worth paying for. Shame on you, Jumpspeak.

Wow. If I wanted to spend the absolute minimum amount of time building an app just so I could promote it as an affordable option and then just flood unwitting victims with up sells costing several times more than the original offer, which after skipping and bypassing reveal only a shell of an app with horrible voice detection, no formal instruction or guidance, just a bunch of AI chats that will jumble languages together you aren’t even trying to study, not recognize even basic spoken words in the language of study, and ZERO of the promised value, THIS IS THE APP I WOULD BUILD.You will get ZERO guided instruction, ZERO videos onto watch, ZERO constructive feedback other than the AI ‘critique’ of the horrible speech to text feature that got more of the spoken words wrong than it got right.PLEASE don’t waste your time on this app or this company. Their objective is to extract the maximum amount of money from you as possible and no focus on providing actual value - at least if you’re not independently wealthy and can’t afford to pay - I’m pretty sure all the upsell attempts added up to well over $1K/year. Possibly multiples of that.We’ll see how ‘risk free’ their refund offer actually is.
