Langster: Apprendre une langue 4+

I have been looking for an app that offers a large library of graded reading, and this app is perfect. I get nothing out of apps that focus on memorizing random words/sentences and grammar drills. Having the content be in the form of short stories helps so much more to acquire the language in a way I can actually use it. Please don’t ever take this app down.

I will mention: there is a UI issue I find frustrating. When I click on a level (like A1) and choose a story, when I get done and click back, the app takes me back to the Home Screen instead of where I was before. This means I have to click on A1 again, Hide Learned again, and scroll back down, which is annoying.

I haven’t used a lot of language apps but I’ve tried a few and this one has been terrific. The short paragraphs really allow me to understand them without losing the overall picture. The option to select words to be learned later is great. The ability to have the app read either a sentence or the entire para is wonderful. If I was to have a suggestion I’d like the app to be able to pronounce the word as found in the sentence. Sure, you can highlight the word and have it read but if it’s a verb, for example, it will read the verb in the infinitive rather than as found in the sentence. Not a big gripe but it would help with pronunciation in context. Otherwise, so far, I’ve found this app to be flawless and I can’t wait to use it each evening.

Originally, I wrote a bad review about these guys, but as I considered the situation, I think they were quite competent. I think they have a lot to offer to language learners.

I did stop using the app because of another complicated situation that was connected… but sometimes, crazy things happen, emails accidentally get overlooked, etc. It’s not Langster’s fault. It’s like wreaking your Lamborghini due to texting your friend when you knew you were driving… and now you have a bad memory connected to your friend, yet, it’s not your friends fault.

Try out Langster, they are pretty cool. I’m not a fan of the computer voice, as you can’t shadow with it, but… the app still has a lot to offer. ^_^

Hello Cotton_Candy_Blue, thank you for your comprehensive review.

During the time of support, we specifically instructed how you could
a) cancel your current subscription and
b) request a refund directly via apple.

We reached out to you several times via email and you never replied to any of our emails that we sent to help your case. This is as much as we could do. We truly hope that things took a better turn, your family is ok and hope that you will use Langster again in the future.

Best regards,
Christian
