Beelinguapp Language Audiobook Mod

Rafael Coninck Teigão

The lack of pinyin support is very disappointing, and the beginners Mandarin text selection isn't very well graded, since I can read most texts from Chinese Breeze and Mandarin Companion beginner level, but I'm having a hard time with Beelinguapp texts. The audio and the text are out of sync, and there are audio bugs that have been reported to the developer, but still there's no fix. I wish I could get a refund.

Update: unfortunately I've had to uninstall it. The recordings are poor quality and unintelligible, and the app has lots of glitches where you have to click back and forth or it closes early, and is generally difficult to use in addition to being laggy. // Previously: Best app for learning languages I've found so far. I really like it. Was confused by some issue with gold not loading correctly. was confused by the new format but nothing was actually wrong. Thanks for making such a great app

Having installed all the language apps I could find to compliment my Spanish lessons, Beelinguapp suited me the most. There is no gamification and rather than the annoyingly repetitive learning of the same words and short phrases, whole texts can be read and listened to at your own pace and unfamiliar words analysed or saved for later study. The narration is also very clear and well paced. I would like to see the glossary feature imprived as it quickly becomes unwieldy.

The progress on a story is always lost when I minimize the app, which is annoying. Also I can't select a word if it's separated on different lines, which is also inconvenient. The annoying message telling my I have all the tools always reappears no matter how many times I close it. There's a pause after every sentence, but not after the last sentence in a part, and I have to stop the audio before it's finished to prevent it from going to the next part.

I was really enjoying this app, but the last update made major changes to the interface. I don't know what they were thinking, but it's practically unusable now. The gestures are so sensitive that trying to scroll to read often changes the page instead. The buttons are smashed together and hard to hit precisely. The audio starts on its own, it seems. And the translation popup covers half the page so you can't translate words near the bottom. Roll back the changes and test more next time.

Not recommended unless you like the convenience. I'm trying to learn Hindi, which this app supports (good!). Unfortunately, the stories are poorly selected. Most children's stories are in the past tense. This isnt useful when you begin learning - you need a variety of tenses. Also, the Hindi speaker does not speak clearly and his recordings have a lot of distracting background noise. Sometimes they even glitch and his voice drops out. Definitely not worth paying for. Also, copy text doesnt work.
