I would have given a five stars. I was on Spanish subscription from level one to level 5. I've learned a lot from the audio and the accompanied lessons. But just beginning to level 5 subscription, I was locked off from all the lessons. I've only received a auto reply when I wrote to the customer service for assistance. Apparently, I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. How long are you going to fix this issue? Will my subscription be reinstated when it expires before the issue is fixed?

Changing it to one star as support never comes back to technical issues. Paid life time. It is a good method. But compared to Rosetta Stone which offers all languages for one price, this one is expensive. There is a bug in speak easy that I reported without answer from the support. It always progressed into part of next sentence which makes it hard to repeat and for me unusable. The App also crashes when playing in the background from time to time even with battery saving off on a Note 20.

a few months back I had subscribed to it and decided to try it for a month first before committing to it. I cancelled the subscription a week after subscribing and the correct way an app should handle it is to remove the subscribed status the day before the next billing cycle but guess what? It removed my subscription the day after I cancelled even tho I've been billed for the month. I contacted support and they said they couldn't give me a refund because i used Play Store credits to pay for it.
