Pimsleur: Language Learning - Latest Quality Issues
iOS

Pricey
It teaches good and helps you fluently talk the language you are reading. But after 1 free lesson it gives you the options to take a 7 day free trial or start paying monthly.the price a month is 21$!!!! That is pricey to learn a new language it let me down hard

No, just no
I started using this app because I wanted to understand the Spanish kids aren't my class I finish lesson one and then when I went to it it said I had to spend 159.99 literally for one lesson this is perhaps the worst app ever change it or I don't even know

Very bad customer service
This app has very bad customer service. I emailed several times and even chatted online to explain my problem, but they never responded. My issue was that I had subscribed to the English course but only reached level 1. Also, my monthly payment was deducted twice. I emailed them about this multiple times, but they never replied. I also requested a refund, but they have not responded until now.

Disappointing and Overpriced
I really wanted to like this app, but after a few weeks of use, I'm frustrated and unimpressed. The lessons feel repetitive, and the exercises don't do a great job of reinforcing real-world conversations. Instead of teaching useful phrases or grammar rules in a meaningful way, it just has you memorizing random words with no context. The voice recognition is also pretty bad—it marks correct pronunciations as wrong and lets obvious mistakes slide. On top of that, the app constantly pushes for an expensive subscription, but the premium features don't seem to add much value. There are free alternatives that do a much better job. Save your money and look elsewhere.

DO NOT PAY FOR SUBSCRIPTION
I downloaded this app to learn Urdu because my boyfriend is form Pakistan. When I would tell him the things I am learning on the app he would laugh and tell me that's not how anyone speaks the language and that I was learning terms that no one ever uses. I am sorely disappointed because I paid $100+ for the subscription when I should have just gotten a tutor!

I chose the course english for italian speakers but it keeps giving me 'something went wrong' 'try again more darts' when I've been trying all day even uninstalling and reinstalling. I'm so sorry to give one star because from the comments I see that it's much better than duolingo and I wanted to try it so much especially to improve my English first and then use it for other languages. I hope you can solve the problem

Helped me learn introductions very well. Since I couldn't pay for it that's as far as I got with this app. I had to switch and use another app.
