1. I really hesitate to spend money on the Premium version when I can't get a realistic feel for how I would use it.Concept seems great but can't even get passed the intro lesson of Japanese without running into max Linqs for free version.
2. I'm enjoying it while I can.Survived 1.5 pages of the TUTORIAL just to run out of space for LingQ's (words auto-flagged as part of your expanding dictionary just by interacting with them.) There is seemingly no way to remove words from your LingQ list to accommodate new ones.
3. It would be cool to be able to import lyrics from Spotify for songs that have them.This app seems like it could be really useful, but the free version is so ridiculously limited.
4. Worse, there are 3 separate modes for reading text depending on how you want to use audio, none of the modes sync, and you can't tap words in the mode synced to audio.
5. I'm excited about the learning philosophy, it matches what I've been told in my ESOL courses, but I'm hesitant to use an interface that feels clunky.I've tried many of the popular learning apps and this is by far the best.
6. I will say there are several little hiccups with my target language where the translations get it of sync with the sentence showing on the screen, or in some videos the highlighted words are ahead of what is actually being spoken by a sentence or two.
7. It seems the free version is missing a lot of the necessary features just to get started, and I don't want to commit $$$ just yet.
8. Imagine being capped at 20 words out of typically 2000-4000 for basic conversation competency (and 20k+ for native speaker level).
9. I recently was able to choose a subscription among my apps, and this one had great reviews, so I tried it.
10. I'd say if you got the $10 to burn its probably worth signing up for 1 month.LingQ has a lot of potential; however, the user interface is clunky and feels like it is trying to do too much.
11. I wish the free tier was a bit more that 20 wordsMostly great, I'm really enjoying the app for the most part.
