Babbel – Learn Spanish Reviews

Not free

E-hartwig

You get a couple minutes of free and than you have to pay a monthly fee...delete!

Even after e-mailing customer support, I could not determine how to do anything other than pronounce words and phrases into my iPhone. Babel's (free) competitor Duolingo gives the user a more-fulfilling blend of lesson types, including vocabulary and visual questions. Having to repeat a word or phrase every single question is too cumbersome for me, I'm returning my purchase.

Love this app

I decided I wanted to learn Spanish, with this app I'll have it down in no time. There's some errors with the app on iPad, which make it difficult to see what your supposed to do.

Frustrating

I tried out the free stuff and it seam great, so I paid for three months. I got the app on apple, but I never got access to anything except the free stuff. I requested help from Babble every day for the last four days. They never responded to any of them. Very disappointed

Voice recognition doesn't work

Ddort

I like the idea of this app. I browsed the sections and lessons and it looks awesome. I took some free practice exercises and liked what I experienced. Except...the voice recognition is garbage. I repeated the same few words 15 times, slow, fast, loud, nothing worked. I restarted the program. Same thing. I switch over to Duolingo and it works like a champ. I recommend staying far away from this company. Learning a new language can be hard and frustrating enough without an app that was poorly developed making it impossible to learn. I feel this company serves to actively discourage people from learning a language. Why else would they put out such a terrible product? I wish I could find a company with this same concept that has a competent development team that makes an app that works. That would be awesome! Using an iPhone 6 without a case (nothing muffled) in case you were curious.

Freezes up constantly

This app is frustrating. It was not cheap and a waste of money because the lessons freeze at certain spots and won't advance past that point. Customer service told me to just do the other lessons but they all have this issue. Repeatedly requested a refund to no avail. Try another app. Very disappointed. Feel ripped off.

Buggy and slow

st_xtfr

I like the concept but the app crashes too much and I have to restart lessons too many times. At the end of lesson where I've had to type a lot, having to repeat it is slow and boring. That really takes the fun out of this app. Also, the voice recognition doesn't work so I turned it off. Would be nice but not a deal breaker, unlike the constant crashing

Great but... Major crashing.

Tellee

This app is great and it's functions are absolutely wonderful. How ever, when I am using the speaker option to reiterate the word back? It doesn't record it and when it does it will still say fail even though it's correct. Or it won't even listen to what I'm saying, and then say I'm incorrect. It also is crashing on various times. Please fix! This is a helpful app! But it's a frustrating one at that!

Immediately uninstalled it

Worst speech recognition on any app I've ever seen. If you want to waste your time saying Hola 20 times before the garbage speech recognition finally accepts it then download this app.

Pay for education

Tocutemarie.

I don't like the fact that you have to pay to learn new languages for the better of your life and education.I am stating this because they only give you one free lesson each course on this app until you subscribe by paying each month or more months , and if you do you get access to all the lessons. Thank you this is all I have to say until you update your conditions for this app.
