Reviews
Be careful of auto renew
meckzo
App works fine but this has auto-renew. You need to cancel at least 2 days before your subscription expires. Very deceptive- and disappointing.
Invasive app
remyT79
Babbel demands access to Siri in order to work. It's a data mining tool. Is your privacy worth it? Probably not.
Expensive
321annabel
It only gives u access to some features. Frustrating because u think it’s free but then suddenly it says unavailable unless u pay. The lessons u ca get free r rly good tho
Love it
texasbrosleader
I've been looking for a great and adorable application to study French and one day German with. I'm pleased to say that it has everything I want in learning. It lets you choose courses that are different subjects so you can be more widely versed in conversations. Je l’adore!
I wish...
kamome3
Tis is a good language learning app but I have some wished. The pronunciation evaluation feature is a good idea. My complaint is that when the app judges my pronunciation is bad but when I cannot tell what is wrong, I cannot correct my pronunciation. I wish it gives easy access to conjugation table, number list, etc. I wish the app can stay in the screen and repeat the word or phrase rather than immediately goes to the next screen.
Interface with Apple iPhone is terrible
Marc in Dallas
More regularly than not speaker doesn’t recognize voice and it keeps the program for moving onto the next lesson. Very disappointing, and I even upgraded to a full membership
So far, so good
Coqui Gal
I studied French whilst in college back in the 80s; I now need it at work. I like the fact I can study at my own pace—and I’m listening to French being spoken as a native. Only downside is not getting feedback on my progress from a live person—but other than that, I like the app!
Voice Recognition
Cindarama
Babbel has been helpful for practicing advanced French, but I’m not sure the voice recognition interface is accurately interpreting my voice. It could be that my French accent is incorrect, of course, or it could be an issue with the voice recognition software.
NOT FOR BEGINNERS!
applenot
Not for beginners! I’m really struggling. I paid a year in advance and I really wish I could either slow down and or review. Not happy. Do t use if you are a true beginner.
Speech recognition terrible
BethBP
The lessons were useful but the speech recognition was extremely frustration to use. It said I was wrong about 90% of the time. A friend who is a fluent speaker tried it and it said she was wrong. It didn’t matter how slowly I spoke or how careful I was with pronunciation. It seemed to randomly decide I was correct. I gave up after a month and switched to a different app.
