Ok, first I can't get another lesson. RIGGED. I can't even bother. It only teaches you a few words and then you've got to pay. I hope ur happy as can be. I'm so speechless, I am taught better by ™ TEUIDA.

Be aware of charges
Honestly the learning with Pimsleur was good. Can't say a bad thing about this but I have cancelled my membership (you need to contact them) - why can't be don't through Apple Store? through their website form. No one answer to this and the next month I was charged. When I bombarded them with mails, then they finally cancel my subscription but didn't return the money.

Pimsleur -Dishonest and Poor assistance
I enjoyed the learning experience I had in taking Levels 1-5. When they asked me to resubscribe if I wanted to continue working with level 5 i placed a phone call to talk with a Pimsleur agent. I asked if I could keep only Level 5 and have access to review any area of Level 5 without having to retake each lesson prior to opening the next lesson. The agent said go ahead resubscribe and we can make that happen. It was not truthful and they started me over in Level 1 - lesson 1. I cancelled my subscription but it stayed on my credit card and I have been working with Apple to get it removed. Dishonest and without capable technical service.

Voice coach Is terrible and deflating. I'm saying "ba" clearly, but it hears "va". Moving to a different app. Pricing is astronomical as well $250+. Would pay maybe $100 max.

Fraudulent practices
They will continue to charge you after you cancel and refuse to refund. Don't trust this company.

It didn't teach me anything.
Wanted to learn Chinese, but this app didn't teach me well. Based off of learning by audio, but I'm a visual learner. It also goes to fast and doesn't even teach you symbols. That is like learning to speak and understand a language perfectly, but you can't read or write anything. Claims it's based off of brain science when it comes to language learning, but the research for this must have been limited.

Unable to purchase subscription
I'd like to subscribe but there's no visible option in the app. Bad UI.
