Promova: Learn Languages 4+

This app has potential, with some improvements needed. The sentences I’m learning are about my level (advanced), but could be harder. The mic during the listening lessons should detect when I’m done speaking as well. But overall I’m learning more than when on Duolingo. I think I’ll need a smoother experience to continue paying more.

Dear Learner, thank you for your detailed feedback and for choosing Promova to advance your learning journey! We're glad you're finding the content helpful. We appreciate your suggestions regarding sentence difficulty and the microphone feature. Your insights help us improve the app experience. For any issues, feel free to contact us at support@promova.com.

If you were lured in by the read along feature the push in their ad campaigns then beware. The real app has no such feature (and judging by old reviews hasn’t for sometime so unsure why it still features in their ads). Luckily I cancelled in time but beware it’s very costly if you don’t.

To use the app you will have to sign up for one of their subscriptions, you are pushed towards the default annual plan with a 1week trial. If you forget to cancel you will be down close to €100. Seeing as the app is pretty lacklustre they seem heavily reliant on users forgetting to cancel their subscription.

Some very dark patterns, I'm undecided if the developers are genuinely trying to run a learning app with some morally questionable sales tactics or they are just openly running a scam.

Dear Valued Customer!

We are genuinely sorry about your negative experience with our app. We're committed to maintaining high standards in transparency and usability and it's disappointing to hear that we fell short in your case.

2) Click the “Add” button
3) Then choose the English Course with an explanation in English

Be advised that the books now include an English explanation of the words. To see the meaning of the highlighted word, simply tap on it. Besides, you may hear the pronunciation of the word by pressing the “sound” button.

We understand that subscriptions are a significant commitment and its cancellation can sometimes be overlooked. Hence, we do our best to send out reminders before the trial ends to avoid any surprising charges.

Once again, our sincere apologies. We believe in our learning app and we want all our users to believe in us too.

I didn't like the learning method and wanted to cancel my subscription the same day. I appeal to everyone to be very careful before paying for their membership on the app. The unsubscribe process is unnecessarily long and to get your money back, support agents will tell you to use the app for at least 7 days. They expect you to change your mind by then. You should be persistent and immediately say that you do not want to use the application and that you want your money back! Only then will they tell you that the company's policy is that they try to keep you for 7 days and they will tell you that you will still get your money in the next 14 days. All of this is very unprofessional, frustrating and a waste of your time.

Dear Learner! We apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you've experienced. Your feedback is important to us, and we're taking your concerns seriously. Please reach out to our customer support team at support@promova.com with your account details so we can address this issue promptly and assist you with the refund process.
