Pingo AI - Language Learning +4

I just had my first Korean conversation. I’ve never tried talking with native speakers since I’m very self conscious of how I sound. I previously used Teuida but was not getting nearly enough conversational practice, so I tried this app and it has been amazing. You interact with the AI, it understands you perfectly, and responds super naturally. It also lets you go back and review your mistakes and gives you tips on many different areas so you can learn to speak properly. 

I already feel like I’m becoming so much more confident speaking and it’s super easy and fun to use. Now, all the work I put in over the past few months feels like it hasn’t been wasted. Highly recommend even if you are also using other apps for good speaking practice.

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Your recommendation and kind words mean a lot to us! We’re so glad Pingo AI has helped boost your confidence and made speaking Korean easier and more fun. Our goal is to create the most immersive AI language learning experience to help you have conversations as fast as possible and we’re committed to continually improving Pingo AI to make it even better. Happy learning!

If I could give this app zero stars I would. I think my least favorite thing about trying to find a language learning app these days is trying to find a non-greedy language learning app. There’s no reason that they can’t provide at least one free conversation a day. It’s completely all subscription and not only is it all subscription. It’s an expensive subscription. Don’t waste your time on this app. The only reason it’s so expensive is because they spend all of their money. On advertisement and can’t provide any actual real lessons. if someone’s telling you to download this app, it’s probably an ad. Or a rich person who doesn’t have concept of money because who’s spending all of this money on pretty much just ChatGPT. I would understand if this was an app that had a lot of reading and accessed new information that we don’t have before. All it is, is just someone who came up with the idea of putting ChatGPT into another language. This is absolutely ridiculous and I’m so tired of greedy apps like this. so take your one star, even though you deserve zero.

We're really sorry to hear you're feeling this way. We understand how frustrating it can be to encounter subscriptions in language learning apps — especially when you're genuinely motivated to improve. Pingo is designed for people who want to practice real conversations every day with an AI tutor that gives you personalized feedback, speaks at your level, and helps track your progress. We’ve built a full learning experience around it, including an AI tutor that adapt to your level, vocabulary practice, and lesson structure. We know it's a paid app, and that’s a real tradeoff. But it also means we can focus entirely on building the best possible learning experience. We know not everyone is in a place to pay, and we offer a free trial so anyone can try it before subscribing. We're always looking for ways to make Pingo more accessible while keeping it sustainable to operate and improve. Thanks for the feedback — even when it’s tough to hear, it helps us make Pingo better.

안녕하세요— basically, while i understand why it’s a paid subscription service, as AI is extremely expensive and costly on the environment- i’m not the biggest fan on how there isn’t at least a free version. For example, with this one app called Hello Talk- they start you out the first few days on a free trial of the VIP service, after a couple of days, it goes away. You still have access to the app, just limited services. I feel like this might be a good add, something where there’s at least some type of free option. Even if it just lets you do one 5 minute conversation a day, or maybe the AI is a bit slower, or something— i just wish there was a free version.

Other than that, with the paid subscription, it really is a great app. I’m not gonna debate the costs of AI on the earth or anything; But this app is very well made and while there’s a few bugs, the majority is pretty good and it definitely does help.

Hi! Thank you so much for your thoughtful and honest feedback. We hear you and completely understand the wish for a free version and really appreciate you explaining your point of view in such a kind way. AI conversations are incredibly costly to run (and yes, we think about the environment too!), but we’ve been discussing ways to offer some kind of free access, like limited conversations or slower AI responses, just like you suggested. Your ideas are super helpful, and we’ll take them into account as we figure out how to make the app accessible to more people while keeping it sustainable.
