Univerbal 12+

I’ve been studying French for many years and always wanted to consistently work on my speaking skills. I finally have the tool I need! I’ve tried 4 apps and Univerbal is by far the best. Accurate corrections, good dialogues, good response times (e.g., no delays).

Makes our day. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

This app does not replace a textbook or app that directly teaches grammar and vocabulary, and it does not replace conversation with a real person. It seems like a vaguely-conceived prototype that has been released too early as a product, along with lots of fake 5 star reviews as part of the marketing.

The conversations on this app are inane, the speech detection is not good enough (especially for French).

As an example of the inane construction of the conversations, for German, the conversation partner asks how long I've been in Germany. I answer that I'm not in Germany. He then asks what brought me to Germany. I answer, again, that I'm not in Germany. He then changes the topic and asks about hobbies. This is like talking to the dumbest person imaginable.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback. The app is there to help in addition to taking lessons or learning with a textbook, to be able to practice speaking even when you can't afford weekly lessons, can't travel to the country where the language is spoken or you're too shy to speak to a real person & afraid to make mistakes. We of course don't pay for fake reviews (it's a bit out of our budget :)

We're currently working on making it an even better educational tool, where you can also practice grammar and speech recognition is something that's tricky to get right, because we don't want it to be too forgiving but not too restrictive either - it's a good point, though and one we'll keep improving!

Last, as we're working with AI there can sometimes be hiccups, like the one you described, although those shouldn't happen very often (and generally don't).

We hope this helps and thank you again for the feedback!

Before the new update everything was fine. But after this update I don't know where my progress disappeared. With this new system, all my conversations and levels were lost. If this update continues, I will not renew my subscription. How do you change the system of talks like this completely and without warning, when all progress in the old system is canceled and we start again with the new system!!!! If every two months a new system was applied, how would learning be?

Hi, thank you for your feedback! I can understand how that's frustrating. We worked hard on bringing you the option to have an unlimited number of conversations and unfortunately we had to change the structure of how conversations work in the backend. We'll make sure to give you advance warning when making changes next time. And we hope you enjoy the new unlimited conversations and opportunity to work towards skills! If you have any further feedback, please don't hesitate to email us on yo@quazel.com.
