Beelinguapp: apprendre langues 4+

I love this app! I needed a consistent way to practice listening to and reading German, but traditional sources required me to stop and look everything up. It was also hard to find interesting, adult reading material at my elementary/ middle school German reading level. This app’s texts are interesting enough. I like that there is breaking news incorporated into the app as well delivers by notification. I recommend adding guilty pleasure celebrity news and song lyrics as well! With the English text just below the German text, I can test myself to see how long I can go reading only the German until I really need to stop and check the English to ensure comprehension. I love that you can press and hold each word for translation and to hear the pronunciation. Selecting entire pieces of texts allows you to do the same. Please fix the app so that I can change the translation to my own translation because sometimes it’s wrong or sometimes I can word it better for my own memorizing. Requested improvements? At the moment, when you select text for translation or pronunciation, there’s a spinning processing wheel showing that feels like it’s not done working. Sometimes the app gets sticky and doesn’t let you select things or scroll down. Otherwise I Love love love! This will be a game changer for me to practice on my own when I’m not with a language partner or tutor.

This app is a literal game-changer. What completely sets this app apart from every other app is that instead of just learning a bunch of words and forgetting them, you learn words and get to keep reinforcing the knowledge by reading. However, there are a few things with the development that make the extra features of the app difficult or even unusable. For example, there is poor integration for users who are learning more than one language. I may want to review vocab I learned in Portuguese, but the app only shows me the words in Japanese(even if I only ever read the story in Portuguese, and have my preferences set to Portuguese). This makes it impossible to track your progression or do review in each language. Also, the post-story games just straight up don’t work. I love this app though, and the stories alone make it worth it for me to subscribe to premium. If they fix their app usability(and maybe change the name to something easy to say + therefore be promoted by word of mouth) this app will absolutely surpass Duolingo in popularity and functionality.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! it's great that you are enjoying the app. We will fix the issue about the Vocabulary section as soon as possible. Would you please explain us the problem regarding the games a bit more in detail? A video or screenshot would also be really helpful. Please write us to feedback@beelinguapp.com. Thanks so much for your help!

Well the concept is wonderful. Yet the functionality of app is horrible. I wouId not buy it if bugs persisted. I have tested it in Russian. 1. Downloading a story - it just stuck at 0% forever. Nothing helps. Switching between Wifi and 4G, opening and closing app etc. Not even single thing like going back to library etc not working. 2. Some stories won’t even open. 3. When I successfully opened one story, it is glitching on a reading mode (Not text mode) unless it is been read. Sometimes, I just want to read it without listening and that glitching makes it tiring for eyes. 4. Entering into text mode is horrendous task. It always takes several attempts. Still I had not figured it out how to switch between reading mode vs. text mode. When I try to switch to text mode it starts to read it and its very annoying. 5. Glossary... where to begin... I really wish that it could have been possible to delete some words added for me. 6. I don’t understand the concept here. How Beelinguapp expects one would want to go over and over again the same words. 7. Even some words are in English with English translations.

In summary, the app is barely usable. A lot of supposed to be great functions are not working and I really wonder how it got those five stars. By the way, I have checked the update And mine was the latest version.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We are so sorry for the issues you are experiencing and will try to fix them as soon as possible. It would be really helpful if you could let us know which device you are using. Please write us to feedback@beelinguapp.com. We also want to inform you that in the glossary (in the "Favorites" section) you actually have the possibility to remove words you have added. Have a great day!
