   Meh…. I know pronunciation is important and mine isn’t great, but I can’t figure whether it likes it or not. It’s given me about 5 words (hello, goodbye, please, thank you and one or two others. I’ve been learning on Duolingo for a couple years and can’t believe my pronunciation is so bad that I can’t get past these words. Seems like a waste of time

   Bad. OK so I have a trying a bunch of apps to learn French this is one of the worst ones because when you say the word through the microphone I don’t know if I said it good or if I said it bad it doesn’t say if I’m saying it right fix this make it like you would learn in the classroom the way you did it made me freak out

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Bad app. I don’t like this app at all!

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   DO NOT PURCHASE FULL VERSION. The full version does not give you much more than the free. For example the numbers only gives you 1,2,3... which you get with the free version. Date and time only gives you now, later, today, tomorrow... also already provided with the free version. I was ripped off. Colors only gives you red, blue, black, white... lol... do the French not see yellow, orange, pink, or green? Lol

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Bad. I downloaded this app and I did thirty minutes everyday but I never learned any words!😡😡😡 You should download Duolingo

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Housein. This app is the best it help well to learn this amazing app thank you Nemo

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Doesn’t work in car.. Purchased this to practice French pronunciation in the car. However, app doesn’t work properly when driving and cuts off entire syllables of words.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Worst app. It doesn’t help you at all

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Worthless. What even is this? Everything free is the things i dont need to study this app can not help you at all. It even got some of the words wrong! I would give 0 stars but i cant

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    ❌. I bought the whole version, and I'm not very happy. I'm taking a class in school, and many of the words I learn over there aren't even on here. Please make more words or give me a refund.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    dishonest pricing. I just tried this for the first time. I left the app for a moment, then came back. When I came back, it claimed to be offering... "75% off" at "$19.99." However, 75% off would actually have been much lower at $14.93. Even if they hadn't tried to cheat me, the lessons would be awfully high priced for what you get, in my opinion. I've gotten far more, for far less, elsewhere, in my opinion. Do the math youself. And watch your back. Me, I took a screenshot of the cheat, and I'm moving on. There are other choices out there.

12. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Unresponsive Support Team. I purchased the complete version through the app but it is still showing just the free version. I have uninstalled the app several times, restored previous purchases, and rebooted my phone. I have sent 3 emails to the support team regarding my issue and have not received a response nor an acknowledgement to my emails. If you just want the free version, it's great. But use caution if you want to purchase the full version.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paid version not working on my iPad. Would have given this app a higher rating, but cannot assess paid version on iPad AND cannot connect to their app support.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I don’t need to start with “bon jour”. Should evaluate the learner to select correct level.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I love this. This very fun

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Beginning French.. Good for pronunciation and persistence.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not good if you already know some French. Probably fine for beginners but doesn't move fast enough and I can't seem to easily skip things to get to more advanced stuff

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I want my money back. When you upgrade to get the full version it doesn't include all the numbers. It only has to 6.

19. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Could be better. The app is great, except for the fact that when I got a new phone, I had to start again from the beginning and lost all my progress. Secondly, the slider to adjust how often a word is used is too close to the bottom and is difficult to move without sliding the screen around. The slider should be a higher and not touching the sides of the screen so that the window doesn’t move or slide.

20. ★★★★★support does not respond or resolve the issue

    Need more information about the features. I’m enjoying the Nemo app, but would it kill the developers to put in information about how to actually operate it? For instance, there is a bar at the bottom that goes from red to blue, hot to cold. I couldn’t find any information on the app itself about what this means and how to use it. There may be more future features that I’m unaware of which is frustrating.

21. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    what. what the fricken frack is this mess. i get in and see random balls on the screen. one says explore, like am i going to France or something. this is astronomic

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Good for Begginers. This app is my start to learning French. I’ve already learned a lot, but I do wish I didn’t have to pay for more words and phrases to learn. If you want to start learning or are a beginner, this is a good app to start with! Some of these words are harder to understand, though. I can’t always understand the pronunciation of a word or phrase. But other than these things, great app! Merci! Edit: Some of the phrases and words, are not the most common French phrases or words. Take as “Avec plaisir” as an example, it’s mostly just used in Southern French and not the easiest or most common way of saying “You’re Welcome.” Why not use “De rien?” But it’s not the biggest problem.

23. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Never gets to the dark blue. Once you get to the beginning of dark blue (after repeating the words over a hundred times), it stops moving toward the end of the spectrum and you’re stuck repeating words you already know. It’s super annoying. And unlike Memrise and Duolingo, there’s nothing listening to you except you comparing your speech to the example. So, you can’t get ahead with words you already know. On the positive side, I like that you can choose different ways to practice words and select different types of vocabulary. However, the fact that I can’t “finish” with certain words is super frustrating.

24. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    More words. You could have added more words

27. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    French by nemo. Review the French words everyday.

28. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Thanks. This app is great I learned 20 words in 2 days

29. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    My review is .... I like this app but I would like if it had more stuff to it ,it only has a couple of words and there are like no ways to study as much and they don’t have any quizzes to see your improvement you just need a finger really to tap.

30. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not enough how-to use info. Judging from other reviews, there are a lot of options and tools about how to use this. Unfortunately, I don't see any instructions about how to optimize use.For example, if there are different levels for people with more advanced language skills, it isn't apparent. I do like that you can record your own voice. If I figure out how to use it for my needs, I'll update my review. It does seem to have promise for people who need more basic language needs.
