Great app

Thoroughly enjoying the app. Started out using their stories on the app - I studied French in high school and was able to jump into some sherlock holmes short stories with the accompanying narration pretty easily. The nice thing about the stories they have in the app is they have google translate enabled to translate whole paragraphs/ phrases. The individual word translation leaves a little to be desired, as sometimes a combination of three or four words makes up a phrase/saying and the individual word translations do not convey the true meaning. This is the issue when you upload an EPUB file format of a book. I am doing the french version of harry potter and listening to the audiobook on audible at the same time. It allows me to translate individual words but not full phrases, so I feel like occasionally I am missing some implied meanings. Still gave the app 5 stars but it would be nice to integrate google translate a bit more to be able to capture and translate more than one consecutive word at a time.

Important Trajectory Corrections

Dear EWA, I APPRECIATE the pop culture video visuals, (truly, I do), but as a newly paying customer, and a linguist, I would say that the literal interpretation and impression is more important than ONLY USING A General idea translation. I have yet to see that “Au revoir” technically means “Until I see you again” for example. (For the record, when you see an all-caps word from me, it is not indicating anger, but passion and emphasis). Also, one important way that those who see AND hear naturally learn is by listening AND a certain, natural, undeniable amount of lip-reading. If the video used is only a dubbed version and not using native speakers, the lip movements will not be accurate, so please shorten the gap between dubbed movies vs. native movies. It would make the most sense. French cinema is replete with options, since it is pretty vast. Mind you it ought to be kept family friendly… Also, (?) we need to be able to disagree with an “incorrect” answer when your questions and answers are a little faulty. Duolingo has that capability. Please improve these things. God bless, and Merry Christmas. Also, I personally don’t appreciate the woke video indicating two mothers for one child. Mismatched dubs are particularly noticeable and disturbingly distracting when I am trying to have a seamless learning experience. Again, thank you for everything!

Also, you need more languages here.

Amazing concept. Terrible execution

I want nothing more than to rave about this app, but unfortunately, despite having purchased a year long sub package, I have been unable to use it for more than 2 hours total in the 6 weeks Ive had access to it. Shortly (or more frequently immediately) after opening the app and trying to navigate ANYWHERE, I get kicked to the page asking me which sub package I would like to sign up for to use the 3 day free trial. I bought the year package back in mid June. I have tried submitting a ticket, however, the app will not let me send the report and gives me a message that “the team is aware of the issue and is already working on it”. I fail to see how that is possible, seeing as I haven’t been able to send the ticket in the first place. I was then prompted to give a review, and sent in details regarding my issue and not only has the issue not been fixed, I haven’t so much as been contacted by anyone that the issue is even being addressed.

Mind you, I am not using the free trial. I paid $100 for a year. My hope is that SOMEONE will get back to me about this issue so I can actually USE the product that I have PAID for, but I am running out of patience. For what its worth, the little I have been able to use the app, I was extremely pleased and impressed with the product. It has the potential to be an incredible learning tool….IF I EVER GET THE CHANCE TO ACTUALLY USE IT
