The Hear It Say It feature does not work but must be passed to progress to the next level, essentially making the entire program useless.

Hi Abigail, thanks for your feedback, we're very sorry to hear that you're having issues with the "Hear it! Say it!" feature. Feel free to reach out to our customer support team on [email protected] and we will see what we can do to resolve these issues for you. All the best!
I am going to be honest here. First of all, it is way too expensive, you can get much more in courses offered by other sources. Secondly, it barely covers beginner grammar or lower intermediate but entirely skips the essential grammar which might be needed to understand the sentence full.
If you are a full beginner, you might feel overwhelmed with the sentences with no explanation and if you are an intermediate then everything just feels pointless.
Highly won't recommend it to anybody, I wasted my money. Please don't waste yours.

Hi Harshal, we are sorry to hear you're unhappy with Rocket Korean. We've taken your feedback into account, and we have passed it on to the Korean team to take a look at. We have also sent you an email to follow up. All the best!
I bought this program to learn useful Japanese but it's not really helpful. The dialogue sets are more geared toward someone who speaks Japanese and not someone who needs to learn. As an example: there is a dialogue set about asking people if they speak Japanese, but not one that helps to you ask if they speak English or that YOU don't speak Japanese. It goes on from there. I've gotten very little actual useful phrases from this program and I'm upset I spent so much on it. My upcoming trip to Japan is not going to be helped by this program.

Hi Laurie-Beth, we're so sorry to hear that you are not finding the Japanese course useful. Our Japanese course is currently being reviewed and updated where any inconsistencies like this will be removed. We have passed this to the Rocket Japanese team to keep in mind during their review. We have also followed up with you via email on this issue. We wish you all the best!
The app kept giving a pop up asking for a review and interrupting my study so here it is.

Thank you for your review and for your feedback. We will pass this on to the development team for their consideration.
not user friendly, no offline content, audio recordings rarely recognize speech, slow customer service, very dissapointed, I thought this was the best app on the market, for this quality, the app is very expensive, for less than 9USD you get this same content in other places

I am extremely unsatisfied with Rocket Hindi because they have made it impossible to cancel my subscription. I am stuck with monthly payments and cannot cancel. They are an extremely dishonest company for making it this difficult to terminate recurring payments.

I am a visual learner,
so I need a visual phentic interpretation of the language
before I can pronounce it.
Unfortunatly,
Rocket Language only does this to my pronuncation attempt.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thanks for your review, Phillip. All French words and phrases included in the course are accompanied by both written French, and by English translations, as well as audio to tune your ear to French pronunciation. Our podcast-style audio lessons are fully transcribed. Unfortunately, we don't provide a phonetic interpretation of the language, but the following two lessons help learners recognize the sounds that each letter or accents make: "Alphabet and Pronunciation"; "
Important Pronunciation Tips". I hope that helps! All the best with your language learning.
Microphone does not pick up short words, so it is impossible to check pronunciation on basic language units. Especially debilitating for Chinese learners where tonal pronunciation is crucial.
There is very little teaching. Provided flash card sets dumping 30 new terms with no organization, no intuitive backbone reflective of that of the language itself makes me question the expertise of the instructors. This weakness is also reflected in sloppy errors: voice lines which don't match the text underneath, an occasional condescending tone to the learner, and statements that words completely new to the learner were already covered in previous lessons when they were not.
This software would be acceptable if it was free, but given the high price, it's quality does not justify a purchase.

We're sorry to hear that you are not happy with the course. We always provide a 60 day money back guarantee, so please get in touch with us if you prefer a refund. You might also like to know that we are in the process of updating the Chinese course (among other languages) this year so if you decide to keep the course, you will get access to the updated lessons at no further cost.
It is not very good at hearing what you say and my class really doesn't like it.

Response from Rocket Languages: Thanks so much for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the voice recognition. If you're not already, we strongly recommend that you use a headset to record yourself. If you are using your inbuilt mic, then it's likely that it will be picking up lots of background noise, and affecting your results. All the best with your lessons!
