I see people complaining about the the pay wall but this app is definitely worth the money. You even get a 7 day free trial that you can cancel at any time. For about $50 a year which is like $4 a month you get access to videos with word time syncing, ai grammar breakdowns, example sentences, definitions, the different pronunciations of a word and auto generated flash cards that you can review at anytime whenever you click on a new word. Another feature that I love is that there a watch history / save feature so if you accidentally close the app you can find the video you were watchingagain. Another awesome thing is that everytime you review a word it’s color progresses fromwhite (new) to dark orange (mastered) through multiple stages. One thing I do have to note is that sometimes the app will close when clicking on a word while scrolling. Another thing is that sometimes the AI description won’t generate but there’s an easy fix. Just click on the definition button next to the AI one and click back. It should be fixed after doing this 1-3 times. Overall a great app and I highly recommend it 🔥

Complicated and a little glitchy
Sarahstephen43
I see how the concept could work but the app is glitchy and isn’t beginner friendly all of the videos were moving to fast.
Developer Response
Hey Sarah, thanks for the feedback. May I ask what parts of the app you found confusing or glitchy? It would really help me out if you could email me the details at hakeem@kikulang.com so that I can improve the experience :) As for the beginner videos, that's definitely something I'm working on. We will soon have a much-improved algorithm and easier videos for beginners. Thanks for giving Kiku a shot,Hakeem
Ehh

It’s hard to say whether this app is good or not due to the immediate pay wall. If it was actually free I’d see the potential
Developer Response
There's a 7-day free trial, so you can see if it's for you before paying. Hope you give it a go 🙏
