Lingvist: Learn Languages Fast
rating aligns with reviewsAn advanced spaced repetition system that places words in sentence context and requires typing the answer rather than selecting from options. Good for strengthening vocabulary at the intermediate level. Suffers from sentence repetition and an algorithm that gets stuck in a loop.
textAvg 3.42 vs storeAvg 4.60. Noticeable gap. Criticism is specific: the algorithm stalls on the same words and fails to add new ones, alternative translations are not accepted. Positive reviews come from serious learners at B1 and above. The gap is explained by the narrow target audience.
A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
What users love
- Mandatory typing instead of multiple choice forces genuine recall. Progress tracking and grammar hints are useful for B1 and above.
What users hate
- The algorithm cycles: the same words appear again and again while new ones are added slowly. No speaking practice
- No listening in a communicative context.
Who it is for
Learners of German, French, Spanish, or Russian at A2 to B2 who need to systematically expand their vocabulary. Not for beginners or those who want to speak.
