Great at telling you what no one else would. I have lived in the US for over 36 years, but I came when I was around 13. I’ve always been subconscious about the slight accent that I had. When you try to get rid of it, you run into an issue at some point, you sound mostly acceptable and most people are too polite to point out little things you are still saying a bit incorrectly. This app is great at catching these moments. A perfect example was my pronunciation of the word “world”. I always had trouble with this one and the app recommended I replace “OR” with just “R” or “ER” to make it easier. Like magic, the word that I had trouble with for 26 years now requires no effort. While I might not have needed to pay for this app, I chose to buy a one year subscription after the trial period ended just to show my appreciation. Great idea!

Great way to improve your pronunciation. I absolutely love this app. It is like sport for your tongue. I only wish they would add new categories time to time. It is a bit boring to practice all the same topics. I already have paid subscription so I don’t want to pay 10-15$ additionally for courses

There are some bugs in the app that make it harder to study.. ELSA is a great app. I love everything except there are some bugs when I use the app, from time to time the app freezes and doesn't let me press buttons, or when a notification comes from the app and I click on it, the screen is completely blank, even though the notification says that you need to do something in the app. It is little things that don't really matter, but when it happens every day, several times a day, it starts to get frustrating.

Price Scam - don’t pay subscription. To be honest, the accuracy of the app doesn’t work as what they advertise (sometimes u just need to pretend to read like an elementary school student rather than a native adult), but what really frustrated me was their subscription price inconsistency. I bought yearly subscription in app by $117, but when I checked my account at apple, there is a $40 yearly subscription choice. So I paid like 3 times to get a subscription which is a joke. I tried to switch myself to $40 which works but also cancelled my previous $117 subscription — so I paid total $157. What’s worse, they also provide $98 for “lifetime” subscription, which is cheaper than in app purchase to upgrade your Pro subscription. When I wrote the letter to reflect the issue, they just said I can only pay $117, and refuse to let me use $98 for lifetime. Unless I just spend “additional $98”. The whole conversation process with customer support just made me even more frustrated because Elsa doesn’t own the responsibility of the price inconsistency (we are not taking about $20 dollar gap but 3 times around $90 dollar gap). They just want you to pay as high as possible and hide certain information from customers. I don’t mind paying at all. But I refuse to be an idiot.

Good app, but there’s room for improvement. I like the app overall, but there are some improvements that can be made, and bugs that can be fixed. 1. Can you guys make an advanced option for stress practice, I like it that you have it for words and conversations 2. In the IELTS section, there are three lessons that are only available to androids, and I’m an IOS user , please have it available for iOS as soon as possible

Life saver. This app is excellent. I feel is a MUST for any person that speaks English as a second language. Now.. unfortunately after the few last updates there were some issues I’ve never encountered before (and I’ve been using this app for years). The voice recognition is not working properly (it’s showing as wrong, words I’m pronouncing accurately or viceversa) and also some words are showing the wrong IPA which is a big mistake let say. I wish these things can get reviewed as the product and format is great but sadly something went wrong in the last big update.

Exactly what I needed for accent improvement. The speech recognition is surprisingly good. Once, I paid $2000 for in-person accent training. There are some advantages to in-person learning, but I feel this app can deliver 80% of results for much cheaper if you’re motivated. I also use it to warm up when I know I have to speak in a meeting.

Prices lower on their website.. The subscription price is double on the App Store than the prices listed on their website. They are taking advantage of Apple customers charging them double for the same product at a lower price on website.

Teacher or Tough Self-Practice is still better than AI. After the good reviews and advertising also to get the Pro for a cheaper price — I must say very convenient — I luckily preferred to try it first and I needed just two lessons to realize that the AI is not that good. If I almost believed that my “this is” liaison was pronounced wrong, I tricked the app saying “come in” (I can’t recall if it was “come on in” instead) in this way “com’n”, anyway way far from the voice. Well, Elsa told me it was even excellent! So I get it… better not waste my money on this then…

Brilliant app, but buggy. This is a brilliant app that uses speech recognition to improve your American accent. Unfortunately the app is very buggy. So much so that I had to cancel my annual subscription. I have alerted the customer support many times about the issue over the past year and the issue persists. It’s essentially a crash, because I have to restart the app every time it happens. If you don’t mind that, the app is still valuable and highly recommended.

Is there an option to choose the language?. My mother tongue is Chinese and I am learning Spanish. I saw there were 8 languages so I thought I could choose Spanish during the initial setup, but I didn’t see that option?!? So what it means by it has 8 languages? If there is a way to choose the language that you want to learn. I have missed it somehow. Can you show me how? Also, can I change to practice different languages at anytime I want? I am learning Spanish but i would also like to improve my English pronunciation once I feel like I have mastered Spanish well. I gave 3 stars right now because I came here to learn Spanish. Thank you!

Fantastic. Until I know this app, I really think I can speak English very well. If I can access the dictionary function when I learn a lesson, it’s can be very comfortable, now if I want to use the dictionary I have to break the lesson. When explain a new word I think video ,animation or pictures are very good, use word to explain word for a new learner is so tough.

Excellent Trainer ELSA 👍👍. This AI apps is very excellent choice for me. To be honest, before I use this app my pronunciation is very confused. Some people don’t understand my speech a lot. Meanwhile in using it, I can realize the intonation of Native Speakers. I practiced the lessons day by day after that I am very confident in speaking English. I can’t thank you enough for it.

Magnificent App and great And Pro Team. This is #1 English learning App for me, not just because I am enjoying my experience on ELSA, but also when I had concerns with my subscription, I found attentive staff in a flash, a very proficient and professional support and assistance until I resolved all my issues! I do highly recommend ELSA FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR SERIOUS STUFF AND SOME POWERFUL TOOLS TO MASTER ENGLISH BUT ALSO WITH ZERO CONCERNS WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING WITH SUBSCRIPTION AND YOUR MONEY! REAL TALK, ELSA IS THE BEST Big up ELSA team

Great app but full of bugs. Great app with a lots of bugs. I had to kill the app many times, the back button disappears time to time and even sign up doesn’t work properly. I was able to sign up, but the progress never ended. This app needs to be maintained better. Only then I would pay for it. I will wait until I finish the free courses and see if they fix the bugs. I will just uninstall if they don’t fix the app by then.

Good app. This app is awesome, help me a lot with my pronunciation. The video feature is really nice, but could be more ideal if there are pictures of the tongue's positions. Also, Son Tung's voice is quite annoying. It's encouraging and lovely, but as a person who always replays the words a hundred times, I would love to have an option to switch his voice or any others' voices off. Thank you for such a great app.

Deceptive!!!, Tested a few words. It is decent. Deceptive!!! I forgot to cancel after the trial period and got charged for three months. The fine print stated “payment will be charged to your iTunes account.” Why charging for three months and not one. I did not agree to this. Also they have a clever use of word,. They use the word “automatically renew” Which means you will get charged even you turned off the automatic subscription in iTunes. At this point, I try to look for a way to cancel the subscription so I don’t get charged again in the next three month. Guess what there no cancel button in the app to be found. What kind of company that don’t give your customer a way to cancel the subscription. Well I am calling my credit company to dispute the charge. Dishonest company won’t last long. They either change their way or they will go in the way of the dinosaurs.

Great app. I used Elsa to practice for an English verification test in my school. My goal at first was to pass this test but then I fell in love with the app and with continuously improving my prononciation. The free version is limited but not bad at all. However, when you advance in your learning, you may want to spend more time and do more lessons per day so the Pro membership is really worth the price. Now I am on Lifetime Pro Membership and it is GREAT! Elsa provides a lot of topic that were not familiar with me while in an English class. Now I can talk about them more confidently than before and I am glad I can share my ideas clearly. I also use the speech analyzer sometimes and it is really helpful. I always recommend ELSA to any friends wanting to learn English. Thank you for designing the app! I will be very happy if you will come up with ELSA for other popular languages like spanish, french or german. It is so life changing.

fix the bug!. I singed up but had to cancel my subscription as I’m not willing to pay for an app that is constantly failing. Overall it’s a good app, but please fix the issue/bug with the disabled microphone. When the lessons are interrupted by a phone call, there is no way to resume the lesson- the microphone become inactive and you have to cancel the entire lesson and loose the progress.

The best app for practicing pronunciation. I am very glad to find this app to help me enhance my pronunciation. This is the best app I have found. There is one more thing Elsa can improve better that is the instruction pronunciation for the group of vowel and consonant in each word. For example, a word “important”, now Elsa has instruction for each letter: i, m, p, o, r, t, a, n. If Elsa has instruction of pronunciation for the group of related sound such as “im”, “por”, “tant”; it will be easier for learner.

Wanted to test it out. I’ve been speaking, writing, and reading English my whole life. I was BORN in America. I decided to try this app out, and I reached a point where it gave you whole sentences. I thought, “Well, this shouldn’t be an issue right?” WRONG. It said my pronunciation was incorrect multiple times even though I know I said it properly. On the word “up” I said it exactly how they said it, but it said my pronunciation was incorrect ones again! I’m not trying to be petty, and I know this app helps other people who can’t speak English that well, but I don’t know why it keeps saying I’m wrong.

Very good App to help me improve my English skills. I have been used this app for about two years by far. The contents are very suitable for my needs, which have helped increase my skill level from 60% to almost 80%! The only thing I would complain is that the size of the fonts is too small to my ago, and cannot zoom in especially when practicing on the long dialogue conversations.

Only if it works. The app fails to record and provide feedback during peak hours usually at night. To make it work you have to abort the lesson, close the app, and then restart it. Of course you’d lose your progress in the lesson. It’s very frustrating especially if you are in a conversation game. You have to read out loud a few long paragraphs all over again. While you are doing that, keep your fingers cross, hoping it won’t stop responding again.

Errmmmm. Pls fix I’m from the Tennessee Kentucky area so I have a huge country accent and me and my lil bro was doing the zodiac one (YALL HAVE SOME TYPOS LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂) and my average score was 85 and his was 95-99 and I’m from America I’ve only spoke English my whole life I have no fam from another country just America so fix so people with new york,southern,Australian,British,etc American accents can use too cuz not everyone can speak in a AI generated voice or proper English Urs truly, me😘

Great app to improve your accent !. This app has helped me to improve my english accent by so much. Note this is not for learn english but to modify you native accent. I tried listening podcast all day, speaking, but the accent is something you have to train otherwise you will keep repeating the same mistakes over and over. Try it !!

A review after seven months of using Elsa. I have been using Elsa for the past 7 months. It’s a great way to improve your pronunciation. But I wish it didn’t have too many bugs. It freezes frequently in the middle of a lesson. And gives the same lesson every day for like two weeks. You have to exit the app and reopen it very often. I use Elsa on an iPhone Pro Max. I will continue using it as it’s really helpful.

A great app for learning English. I love this app!! It helps me speak English fluently and fix my strong accent. I can see my improvement clearly after 3 months using. I just set a small practice which is around 15-20 lessons a day and after 3 months, when I try to speak in Google Translate, it is correct nearly 85% , much more than before. I’m so happy to see improvement, and I recommend this app for all my friends!!

A lot of bug. update a month later Bugs still not fixed. If you record three or four times for a sentence in the chat practices, it will stuck there or cannot play sound for the following conversation. But the whole idea of the app is to practice more. If still not fixed, customers looking for practice English will go away. Great algorithms, but a lot of bug. I had to reopen the app several times during practice, very distracting. If it’s not ready, please don’t introduce an update version.

The teacher is too lenient. Revised this review after trying out the dictionary part of the app, where the scoring for system is very strict. I’ve tried over 100 times and couldn’t pronounce the sound “g” and “o” in “geothermal” correctly, and the dictionary doesn’t explain what I’m doing wrong. I wish this kind of system is implemented in the lessons as well. Maybe it already is, however, I stopped after the first lesson due to its leniency.

Great, and the app itself can be better. I have been using this app for more than half a year. not sure whether or not this is the best app helping learn English, in general it’s great, especially on pronunciation and covering various scenarios. but it does not help my intonation too much and it often has network connection issues, almost daily. occasionally the app is stuck in weird ways. in total I really appreciate this app, buying its one-year license has been one of my best investments. i also look for help in other ways, say, online education videos, and, some have been greatly helpful. this app gives real time feedback, which is great, however I still have to think hard how to improve by myself all the time. well, that’s understandable, though frustrating. I give this app a four star mostly because technically the app can be better and more stable.

Good before but recently have some bugs. The app is really useful but sometimes it still has bugs. Recently it shows slow internet errors too often to the point I want to end my daily practice before finishing. To be clear, I don’t see any problems on other apps so don’t really think my Internet connection is a problem.

Some bugs and room to improve but I like it.. 1. I have noticed that if I stop the recording, the sound for stopping the recording would be recorded at the end and that confuses the result. So best to let it stop automatically after saying the sentences. 2. There are many errors which the text and sample recordings don’t match. Please fix. 3. There are a few exercises simply wouldn’t advance to the next sentences. It got stuck. Please fix. 4. Sometimes I have to exaggerate my pronunciation in order to score higher points. I listen back to my recording and the sound quality is not so good. Please improve. Overall, I want to say that this is a great app. I have noticed my problems and I have been improving everyday and I can hear it. It’s very enjoyable and I’ve been practicing at least two hours a day. I look forward to the improvements. Many thanks!

Bugs bugs bugs. I spent 10 minutes trying to pass one sentence - I was getting everything around 85-95 points with couple yellow mispronunciations but it just stucks. Another thing - you can listen to your try and I literally pronounce every sound but the app just mix the sounds where the end of one sound can be detected as “mispronounced” beginning of other letter.

Great method but technical problems. Great app to improve pronunciation. Easy and nice design. I don’t have any complain about the quality of content or teaching method but I had two problems with the app. The first one is that I paid for 1 year Elsa Pro, but decided to upgrade VIP for a lifetime membership access (after receiving an discount email from the CEO). The app changed me booth but, for record, my account expire next year. The second problem is that I’m having difficulty to enter on app and download my progress. I can make the lessons but the app doesn’t keep my scores.

Native Speaker Review: Some Errors, But Overall Decent. Native English speaker here. I decided to try this app to test for any “background error” due to the app rather than the language learner, and there definitely were a few. Most exercises would put me in the 85-98 percent fluency range, with the number going up some when I spoke slower and tried to enunciate, but that wouldn’t be how I would speak in a conversation. English accents vary wildly depending on your region, and I found that some possible pronunciations weren’t programmed into the app. For example, in the Midwest US many people pronounce “I’ll” in the same way as “all”, but this was marked as wrong. Another minor issue was with the word “sounds”, where it said the “ds” should be pronounced like the z in buzz, which it isn’t. When a native speaker says the ending, its less voiced, more like a “ts” sound. Again, just some small critiques, but they add up, and this was just in the first 5 minutes or so of my use. Please be wary of using this app, especially if your accent is already pretty good. It might do more harm than good.

Good but need to improve the dictionary!. I love the app very much, thank you guys for your good work. However, it is possible to add more synonyms and have more meanings for each word? Because one word will have many meaning to each situation. I hope that you guys will improve the dictionary part, otherwise it is a great app! Thanks again to help me pronounce better!

Room for improvement. This app is great however the back end has a lot of room to improve. There are frequent timeouts though the messages indicated it was the phone had bad connection. No, it was not. Can watch HD movie with no issue and no issue with all other apps. Also this recent release broke the auth. I had to relogin every time if I restart the app. The other issue is from time to time I saw the dialogue that ask to join premium member, but I am, kind of annoying.

Not bad. Can do better. Not bad at all but I would like the following improvements. Too many simple exercises. Not enough lessons for 20 minutes a day. I really don’t like the nasally accent of the woman native speaker and wish it were a man. I wish they would also offer British English. The first question in every lesson doesn’t work properly and reports erroneously that I have failed.

Great app to practice your speaking skills. If you are looking for a good app to learn English, specifically speaking skills, then you should definitely try out this app. It’s a fun and engaging app that uses gamification to make learning more fun and interesting. You will have to pay after the free trial period but it’s worth it! In terms of accuracy, I would say it really depends on different people with different level of English skills. I believe this app is optimized for English learners, as many native English speakers have pointed out that the AI graded their speaking skills pretty badly although they speak perfect English. From my experience, this app did point out the flaws in my speaking skills such as the “th” sound, which I often messed up when reading it. In conclusion, if you are looking to enhance your English speaking skills, then this app is for you.

Choices?. While I agree that this app is very interesting and most likely useful to some, I don’t believe it will be useful for me. I did not intend to sound like an American and whenever I pronounce consonants in the way I was initially taught, I am being asked to repeat myself. I would love to reinvigorate the British accent I had in my youth to once again cover my native accent. Unfortunately that option is not available in this app. I think I would make copious use of this system once that option is available, but until then, I will not have any benefit from subscribing.

It would help you improve your English pronunciation. I really like itcorrectly it is free but if I want more in detail I have to pay is interactive it has an AI you pronounce the word and it tells you if you pronounced it correctly Look what I found online it will help me to pronounce words correctly it is free but if I want more in detail I have to pay is interactive it has an AI you pronounce the word and it tells you if you pronounced it correctly

Elsa AI + IPhone (15) = lost your money. The app works fine during test period. After paid, it doesn’t work anymore. It was exactly after the free test period. All speaking lessons stopped to work, because mic doesn’t answer anymore or mic works but no sound. You are going to reinstall app several times and nothing. You are going to reset app purchase, to give all possible access… You are going to try with air pods, headphones, on speaker, no way. You are going to try app updates, nothing. You’re going to contact a support team that pretend to exist. You are going to pass some days trying and trying… until you check reviews here and online… and realized you lost your money. Sad. I have one year subscription of nothing.

Pretty good. It’s a pretty decent program but extremely buggy by today’s standards. They have to keep updating their apps every few days. They definitely need better QA. From the program standpoint sometimes the lessons are repetitive rather than a mix of words, sentences, intonations, conversations etc. but I do get a sense they are constantly tweaking their algorithm (as well as content) which is great. One star less for the bugginess.

This app is giving me hopes. I never thought I would be able to get rid of my strong Chinese accent. My accent has made me depressed and felt less about myself. I think I have good knowledge of English language but my accent usually holds me back. Then I discovered this app. It helped me identify issues with my pronunciation that I was not aware of. Now I’m obsessed with this app and practice with it everyday. There’s already a vast improvement with my speech. Now I’m feeling hopeful that I will be able to sound like a native speaker in no time. This app is changing my life for the better. I’m so glad that I discovered it.

This app is fake (I am a native speaker). I am a native speaker born and raised in the United States and I downloaded this app just to test it out for fun. It CONSISTENTLY ranks me anywhere from 75-80% accuracy. I don’t speak any sort of dialect either, I am from the capitol city of Kansas— my accent is one of the most neutral in the entire county and almost everyone here outside of minority groups speaks GAE— so I know it wasn’t because I speak in a non-standard way, the AI is just extremely flawed apparently. Additionally, the AI reads the sentences in American English, like there is absolutely no reason it should be telling me I don’t sound fully native, would not recommend!

Please make these changes. 1. Delete the button SHARE THIS LESSON appearing at the end of the lesson. It doesn’t appear in the same position so I often press it by mistake. I don’t want to share lessons at all. 2. Add the go-back button. I can’t go back to the former question, there is only the button leading you to the next. I have to quit the lesson entirely just to fix my former answer.

English speaker review. Cool app but don’t use it as your only resource. Speaking with native speakers is your best learning strategy. I tried the app and mostly got >90% scores but when it was under, I would try and enunciate more to increase my score. But, when I did that, I felt myself to be speaking unnaturally, in a way that is awkward and that I would never speak in real life. This app motivates you by the scores, and by trying to get a higher one, I was pushed to speak unnaturally. It’s helpful if you want to get better at emphasis on the correct syllables, but it’s not going to help much otherwise. Again, talking with native speakers is the best option, as you might think for those learning your native language.

Fantastic App for Vietnamese native learner. I’ve tried a few apps out there to improve my accent. ELSA stands out as the pronunciation app for Vietnamese learners like me. It focuses more on your speaking skill and less on your grammar. I set up a goal to learn 20 minutes a day or 1.5 hours a week. If you want to improve faster, you can hire an American pronunciation coach who can identify your problems and then you can focus more on the areas. Learning American accent is persistent. It will pay you off eventually.

Good but not perfect. So here is my review for a few days working on it This app has a cool AI for speech recognition that works perfectly and I did some tricks that could really comprehend amazingly so well done to the team for providing such a great AI. You can use a test to find out your English level and even it shows you some scores about pronunciation, stress, intonation, fluency, and listening. It gives you different topics to learn like daily life, trip, finances, technology, and etc. However, when you are working with you might find some crashes that it is a little bit annoying for example, the app crashed 2 times in almost 2 to 3 hours but I think it is worth to work with it, I’ve already reported the bug so I hope they would fix it soon. One last word, try not to use the app with VPN because sometimes it gives you warnings that says there's no internet connection.

Content is good but too slow. I like that it has tons of material to practice. I know Elsa has been around for a number of years as a leading ESL app and this is my first time subscribing and I am surprised by how slow its loading speed is. Everytime I open the app, it takes about 10 seconds to be able to use it. 10 seconds! I have been using Duolingo for a few years but it never has this problem. It might be that the homepage has too many videos, which I don't need because I want to practice my pronunciation, not to watch others speaking. Whatever causes the problem, it's very annoying.

I buy an one year Elsa pro membership on 24 August 2021 but cannot login since update. I buy an one year Elsa pro membership on 24 August 2021 but cannot login since update. The apple subscription is still in my id. But the app told cannot find my subscription?

Great app. A very organized and convenient way to improve your application. It’s also fun to play with kids 😊

Nice. This is the… BEST GAME EVER!!!

Accent. This app is based on American accent if you do have Australian accent or British, you are likely to fail.

Elsa_. Worth the money 💰good to improve pronunciation and confidence ❤️👍

Bugs / American English. Generally, it is great as it helps with pronunciation. However, the app has too many bugs and stops working every now and then. Disappointed! And, having only American English is a shame as the price of the subscription is very high. I will use for a while whereas find new one.

Love it. Great app, I kee it from Dan Hauer on youtuber ^^

Perfect instructions in local languages. With details and localized instructions for Vietnamese, ELSA helped me getting better in pronunciation.

Nice. I am loving it

Great application for people from non-english speaking country. Used it for 2 weeks and my coworkers told me that my speaking fluency have been significantly improved.

Hi. I think the idea of Elsa is amazing but I’m amazing at English, I got the app so I could use it for a different language. Some of my family members are Brazilian and I want to speak fluently in Portuguese. If you could make that happen that will be the best

My name is saad. I am learner

Amazing. This app is good for practice of English pronouncing

Disconnected. Connection issue!

4/jun/23 bug. My app doesn’t open. It is in loading forever.

i love ELSA Speak. thank you for updating ELSA Speak

Elsa improve my English pronunciation. Very protiential

Terrible app. The App is terrible and annoying in the way that you are unable to unsubscribe. There is no website or no place in the iPhone App for user to do so. If the problem is not resolved, I believe the App should be removed from AppStore.

Perfect of perfect. This is what i have been looking for for such a long time. Best English teacher ever.

Video in the lesson doesn’t work. My internet is very fast and I usually don’t have any problems with video streaming but in right the first lesson of this app I see only a black screen and the indicator that video is loading☹️ so, I guess the app didn’t pass the trial with me. The tutorials just don’t work at all.

My pro membership has been canceled. I have paid for a year of membership till 9 Nov but it is canceled for no reason

Too much American, prefer British. Too American, prefer proper British accent

American English. This only works to American English i speak British English and it says i have flaws even though the only language I know is English and my whole family speaks British English so you are teaching people to only speak American English i dont care if the developers are American but there should be choices which type of English

Excellent Program. I have to continue using this app to come back and add further feedback base on my experience

Not recommended on iPads. This is a decent app although on my iPads it was glitching I am unsure what’s happening but can you fix it and is this just me or do other people have this problem?

This is not a worthy app!. Please, don’t spend money with this expensive app. The intonation system doesn’t work, even with native speakers. I’ve test it with them. It shows you have a low level of fluency, however, it doesn’t explain how to increase that skill. Those two things just put our score down. Also, when you retake an assessment test, you can get easily a lower score that you already had, even after practicing on this app for over a few months. It’s a prove that this app doesn’t work or they don’t want that you increase your speaking skills to keep paying for it, renovating your subscription. Avoid it guys! It’s a scam making money!!!

Report problem. Something’s wrong with the app. When I speak, it always appears a notification that Elsa cant hear me. I try put on earphones but it still doesn’t work. I really like this app and I think I’m gonna buy the app for whole year so please fix the bugs. Thank you

Extremely slow. It seems to be slower by updating

White screen glitch. White screen glitch all the time. Specially when finished a lesson and a new one it’s about to start. Couldn’t do anything. Very disappointed.

Comment. I like ELSA

My opinion. Great apps for learning

Guess I don’t speak English. I’m a native English speaker, I decided to try out the app for laughs. Apparently I only have 21% fluency. The pronunciation is terrible, I’ve never even heard anyone speak like how they say it.

Minh. My best English teacher.

What a great app!. Perfect for learning English and pronunciation of languages...

I love Elsa Speak. This is the best app to help me to get high IELTS speaking score

It is ok but too many mistakes. Good points: help to recognize pronounce mistakes in basic words. Bad points: always asking for reviews (every day); constant faults in operation; some days it gave me 9 stress lessons in a row ( stress lessons are least useful and not worth doing in the app because you only need to stress correctly without caring to pronouncing) ; sometimes it gave you wrong answers ( business trial you will choose between 2 possible answers and sometimes you chose correctly but they said you are wrong although they added the explanation that proved you selected correctly). So many problems after 2 weeks trying. Hope your team could improve them. Anyway, it is a good app.

Can’t use on my tablet. I subscribed on my iphone and it is broken. I downloaded an app to my iPad with the same user I purchased a. Subscription. But I can’t log in and on a free account. Very frustrating and I don’t know how to fix this up?

Always American. I am an English language teacher and I hoped this app would be helpful, but I live in Australia and teach people to speak English with an Australian or at least British accent but because the world revolves around America all apps like this are no help because they only teach people to speak American pronunciation. It’s really not helpful to people who live in countries outside North America because they try their hardest to learn English and come to places like Australia or UK to live and work and their English sounds terrible and broken cause they’re only offered one form of English learning and it needs to stop.

Uhh. Like, I have a bit of an Aussie accent, and whenever I speak certain words the app will say I’m wrong, this is only good for you if you’re learning American English

Not happy !. This is good for 4 years old.

Review. Thank you for helping me.

Great app!. Thank you for this app! It’s been very useful to improve my English pronunciation.

Good app. Excelente and interactive app

Fix my vowel problem! So much appreciated. Somehow you need a good teacher to fix the problems that you never realised when you speak. Elsa is a perfect and budget choice! Recommend and 5+++++

Learn of Elsa programme. I’m glad to learn the Elsa. No any pressure. In the past, I try to improve English in different ways. But I have more assignments. I feel more stress. And then it makes me easily to given up. On the other hands, this programme consists of more topics and let me feel comfortable to improve gradually. I’m grateful to Elsa. Let me to improve gradually in the progress.

Tutorial videos don’t work. Tutorial videos don’t work

Really good. Very nice app. I’m really happy with the app

Lovely. Just use it it’s imaginary and wonderful

Not great. American English is not the only lind of English. It would be great if the app lets you choose what kind of English you want to practice.

Not working. My app cannot record voice and rate

Not impressed. More or less accurate. Better to speak with real people instead and use an app like HelloTalk.

The UI is not good when I need to spend 10min to find the topic I want to use. This should have a search feature or pin favourite topics. I want to learn IELTS everyday but sometimes it disappears and hard to find

About Elsa. I am getting familiar with Elsa app and it seems awesome.

Amazing App！！. This is the best app that improve pronunciation I used! PLEASE DOWNLOADS it if you have pronunciation problems!!!

Missing content. That would be great to have the correct pronunciation for each separate word because when you sentences it is hard to hear the correct pronunciations for you must listen to the whole sentence in order to hear the word you want

Some sounds are not recognized. I really enjoy the way it is setting up lessons everyday. I love the application but it has some bugs. App has some bugs, when I am following similar sounds they are suggesting to speak in application like “vital” word it miss guides in pronouncing the word. Application always struggle to catch sound of “th” no matter how I pronounce it. I checked all my pronunciations with google with exactly same words and google approved it but this app doesn’t recognize them.

“Pronounciation”?. …even your ad gives you away within the first 5 seconds. There is no such word as “pronounciation”—that poor girl (I only hope she was paid for her looks and not for her ability to speak “English” because this app isn’t doing her any good, other than for fattening her wallet). You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for thinking you would be able to teach anyone the English language.

scam. i paid for the pro account but didn't get the access to the material . they don't answer or react to my report

Good but it’s still has a lot bugs. In general, it’s a good app to practice pronunciation but anytime I try to use it, it gets frozen and I have to close the app completely and run it again. Then it lost track of my practice and uploads a new lesson instead of counting my previous course.

Test is’t working. So I’ve spent 5 minutes of my life going through their assessment test and it failed to determine my level. Some kind of error. Useless app

Feedback errors since update. Since the new update 23 September 2023, I can’t hear my pronunciation on the ear icon. Every time, I try to record there will be some disruptions as no internet connection, error in recording,etc. Please fix it thanks

A poorly made app. The design of the app is not bad (and perhaps that’s where they spent all their investment in), but the app overall is poorly made. It asked me to say “my biggest wish”, and I replied “my piggish fish” and it rated my pronunciation as Excellent! The performance of the AI (voice recognition) behind the app is poor. It cannot recognize anything. Don’t waste your time.

Only teaches you the Americans accent!!. So I was bored one day so I decided to download this app for fun. I’ve opened the app and tested the spelling and when I’ve used my British accent it gave me an error saying “ you do not speak like a native”. It’s like people are forgetting that English is from Britain!

Love this app❣️. I’ve been using this app nearly 2 years and my pronunciation has been incredibly improved 😍

Automatic purchase. I have used Elsa for a year. I was using it by taking advantage of the campaign. They took the second year with the most expensive price of $115 + Tax without giving me any information. This is a scam. However, at the moment, I could become a member with almost $30 per year. I love the program, I bought it for my wife, I recommended it to many of my friends. Please fix this!

Angle. Très bien

Crazy pricing. The app monthly subscription was raised 100%. It does not worth it now.

Total lie.. No way you thought this was good instead of badly developed

Ads on paid version. How to get rid of the annoying “invite friends” on every cold launch? Really don’t like it.

Mean. why do y’all always make people pay ? I mean Premium and Pro are for better quality but it doesn’t mean I have to pay it to use the app. Y’all force people to buy Premium and Pro, otherwise y’all will block most of the lessons. Meanie.

Omg. Amazing for to improve your Skills

Worst experience. App claims to give 7 days free but after starting money deducted from my account. Please refund my money

not good app. The more I practice, the more confused about my pronunciation. The system is not good. I lost my money..

Awesome App and support team. Support team is very helpful, and the app is amazing, I’ve learnt a lot using it. Highly Recommend

Elsa. The best app

3 programs only. There is only 3 programs and that’s it .

Mediocre and not worthwhile. ELSA’s ideal pronunciation seems to be a mediocre American accent. It punishes incorrect and correct diction. Kelsey Grammer would score poorly here. It provides inconsistent answers. Use this only if you have no better option.

About Delete Account. So interesting that they say delete your account for make sure that’s you haha and than the only button that works is cancel and the other one delete doesn’t go though it. That’s why I am give one start such a waste of time.

Not a free app. It is a paid app

Scam!!!!. They do not let you unsubscribe during the trial and then charge you automatically for a year. One day after the trial began I noticed it was impossible for me to cancel and contacted their help center and they never replied. DO NOT SUSCRIBE!!!!

I love this app. Please make a French version of this, I would buy that!!!!

Do not get. I am a native speaker and it told me on some parts that I did not sound like a native speaker. I understand if this app is for French which I am learning but it’s not. And in the ad they said the girl sounded like a native speaker but she sounded like it’s her 4th language. (No hate) I also have no accent. I’m a Canadian who was taught to read and learn English at the age of 2-3. I’ve always been understandable and I don’t have a stutter or lisp. I think that this app’s technology is severely underdeveloped and should be beta. If you are trying to learn English and gain better pronunciation, get Duolingo. Duolingo helps you speak correctly and the app is also in your native language. And once you complete English, you can learn specialty languages like Klingon or High Valyrian or just learn another language. This app is a waste of time and money (if you bought the pro version) I believe if your going to do something you should do it right. And this app does it wrong.

Tricky 🤬💵. This tricky app charged me 21 CAD Dollars first time when I start trial! 😤

Needs improvement. The app often freezes or doesn’t recognize my voice. I can’t say it improved my pronunciation a lot, but it definitely didn’t help to improve my fluency.

Worst Support. I bought this membership but then I wanted to cancel it. I’ve contact their support team. They sent me a word document and told me to follow that. I could not cancel by myself so I email them again.. never received a single response... not to mention the app sometimes acted weirdly as well. Do not buy the membership from them

Glitchy app. Gats frozen every 10 minutes and resets your progress It’s literally useless.

Excellent. I really like Elsa

To short and not feedback. To short not feedback

Lagging and spinning all the time. After a lot of updates, the app still keeps lagging and spinning after few lessons. I have to force close and open it again

Do not get this scam. I wanted to humour myself a little because I speak English and it is my first language so I tested this app out do not ever pay for the subscription this app is not useful it asked me to pronounce the word relatively and I said the word Pineapple and it excepted it and told me I sound like a Native speaker this app is not teaching you it’s robbing you

Score issues. You hafta be a slave of this app. I was away for some time and when I came back my scores were completely messed up. I reset my progress and used the app for a few days bringing my score back. Then, I once again had to be away for another few days. GUESS WHAT?! Upon reopening the app, scores were messed up again! Tech support never answers you! Keep that in mind, potential buyers! DISAPPOINTED!!!

H. Nah

Nice try, but so many issues. The app has a good intention, but the implementation lacks way behind. First, the UI is not intuitive. Second, the voice recognition stops working mid lesson and have to restart the app up to 4(!!!) times before it comes back. Next, the grading of the lessons doesn’t always work. I hope the folks who develop the app actually read this. PS I use the owl app for French for almost a year and I never had an issue with voice recognition or grading, on the same device.

Stupid. This is not accurate, People may say “You’re just bad at English” but you’re wrong, if you think that, not all apps are accurate, only some.

Terrible. I purchased for lifetime package in 2019, but know they removed my acount from their system, and they said they didn’t find any activities of me in database, it’s hilarious, right :)))). I sent a report for helping but they have ghosted me 1 week since then. Terrible customer care service. Think before using this app, very bad experience.

really awesome. awesome

Tanya. I don’t like it🤮

It's annoying to stop responding too often. I'm the pro lifetime membership. But It's annoying to stop responding too often. What's wrong with this app? It doesn't work properly, does it?

Hidden Fees!!. They charge me 59$ the sneaky way. Can’t ask for money back!

Canceled trial but still got charged. This is an awful experience with this app. I was trying it out and cancelled the subscription a day before the trial ended and still got charged. I can’t find a way to get a refund for this year subscription. Really upset and disappointed

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Paid for lifetime but actually only one year. I bought a lifetime license in 2018 but today I have been rejected for login. This company has a telephone number but it looks like a number in Vietnam. It has an e-mail account but I have never got response. Be careful for you money when you buy a lifetime license.

The usefulness. After playing a day with ELSA, could say it’s a great app. Probably, the only app which can give you a feedback on your pronunciation so far. I do enjoy the lessons, dictionary, and videos with examples inserted in it. So, yes. MK

Amazing App!. I feel comfortable learning with this app. I can practice several times with the same word to listen to my own voice and make necessary corrections. I am really excited

This service saves me thousands of dollars. I work in sales at an international company where I interact with American clients almost everyday. I used to pay thousands of dollars for the same services that this app gives me, to evaluate my pronunciation and tell me which words I am speaking incorrectly. Now I use this app and it is worth its weight in gold.

Great app, some bugs with iOS14. This is truly a great app for practice English pronunciations. I’ve used it for over 6 months and I’m pretty happy with it. I’m Japanese and the app shows particular sounds to be improved very clearly. But since updated to iOS14, it frequently fail to launch the 5 lessons for today... Hope they fix the bug soon.

Very sluggish. Elsa is great when it works, but the experience is usually very frustrating due to a sluggish interface. On iPhone 14 Pro, it takes a very long time between a button press and anything happening. Press, wait, wait, speak, wait, wait, audio not captured, press again, wait, wait. Sometimes it just doesn't work 🤷‍♂️.

훌륭한 영어 교육 앱! The best English pronunciation improvement coaching app with artificial intelligence!. ELSA is by far the best English pronunciation improvement coaching app that I have ever seen! The app is easy to use and makes learning English fun! The artificial intelligence technology really gives great feedback and advice on how to improve my English precision. 정말 훌륭한 영어 교육 앱입니다! 감사합니다! Thank you, ELSA!

Pronunciation improvement. I can notice how accurate the corrections to my pronunciation are and they are very explicit and clear with recommendations and advice to improve, plus it has a lot of topics to learn about.

Finally found the best app. This app helps me find my flaws in speaking English. Due to my bilingual, it is very difficult to speak some words. Elsa helps me to improve those parts! A must app.

Best for speaking/accent. I was thinking about how i could speak at understandable level coz when i came to USA mostly while doing conversations with native speakers they used to get confused with my accent

Crashed. Used to be good, but recent updates are full of bugs. Not sure why you guys keep adding new features but not focusing on the overall quality.

The app keeps trying to connect the server in the pronunciation sections. I’m giving 1 star because with such a steep price one would expect the app to work seamlessly. In the pronunciation section, the app just keeps failing to connect to the server. It’s been like this ever since I started using the app. You click on the speaking symbol and it try’s to connect to the server to process your pronunciation and it’ll just not forward.

Be careful with this app is a scam. If you put 1 start doesn't allow your comment! I really wanted to try this app. I got the 7 days trial and by the 3rd day of the trial period they charged $143 USD to my credit card. I was lucky that my bank stop the transaction, since they charged this amount twice. So my conclusion is that this app is a scam to rob people. Better don't even take the trial, because is not free and they will charge you for more than 1 year.

Really useful. In the beginning, it is tough, but it's a necessary discomfort you might want to struggle if you're going to improve your English skills. I recommend to use the advance mode and analyze the feedback given. ELSA is an English coach!

I love it. I like app, especially Because besides listening to the pronunciation I can see how it is pronounced With the IPA And that helps a lot , I hope they keep adding more words and have more assortment like TinyCards or bright apps.

BEST ACCENT REDUCTION APP. I’ve tried all the accent reduction apps. This one is the best ....by FAR. The app is intuitive and complete. It will readjust to your level to give you the best tools to improve. I work with an accent reduction coach on the side who adopted it and recommended it to her students too. Also, the company has a great culture. They have a great customer service and are constantly making updates. Don’t think twice. If you want a change in your life...it’s worth the investment! Remember your WHY!

The application crashes many times. The app crashes many times and I have to exit the app and re-enter several times. I have a good phone and good internet connection. The problem is the app keeps crashing. It is horrible to have to repeat the lesson more than once because the app hangs.

Excellent app. This is the most comprehensive and advanced app for English speaking. I came to the US when I was two years old and have a slight accent. With this app I can know fix the slight accent that I have. I never knew that I was mispronouncing so many words! I don’t write app reviews but this one blew my mind.

Please provide app rotation for ipados. I am a one year subscriber of elsa speak. I find it very helpful with my language learning and I am very thankful for it. But it would be more convenient if you provide the app rotation as there are many subscribers using ipad like me . I hope you will do it for us very soon.

Potential privacy issue. Overall, as a pro user, I like this app’s contents and functionality. However, I’ve noticed potential privacy leakage. Whenever I launch the app, it tries to access the local clipboard or Universal clipboard (a clipboard between Apple devices) and get the data from the clipboard. I noticed this behavior because iOS shows a banner message (“ELSA Speak pasted from [Macbook name or Phone]”) when an app attempts to retrieve data from the clipboard. I am not sure why this app retrieves data from the clipboard which may contain private information, and thus can cause a serious user privacy issue. I have looked at the privacy policy from Elsa website but it does not mention anything about this. The company should explain the purpose of this data collection.

Great app! Best I found for pronunciation so far. I have been living in the USA for 11 years by now, but my pronunciation is still lagging. Love the app. Especially the “dictionary” where you can paste/type in any sentences. I use it to polish my presentations prior to delivering them to the upper management. Love it!

No synchronization possible across my devices. Each of my device has its own progress which is very frustrating, this should be a no brainer for every app developer since no one wants to keep starting over when it comes learning.I want to be able to see my progress synchronized instantly across all my devices when learning. Please get this fixed ASAP!

Great app. I would give 5 stars if i see horizontal mode and font size/bold in the app settings. Also, it would also be nice to have an automatic listening mode so I don't have to press the microphone button every time before speaking.

You stole my money. I paid you for one year in october And now you said its a new session when i click on it. I lost my account and i have to pay again after 2 months. when i enter my email you said you dont found it. Ther first time when i paid, you send me the payment on my email and now you dont found it. You stole my money , i only use the app for 2 months . What im supposed to do now?

This app is pricing each and every helpful content which interacted learners!!!!.. Recently I updated ELSA, and saw Beat the IELTS course, Which was free before, was priced 12$. All other useful contents which are added recently are also priced. This is not fair. We payed you while we got membership and thought this might be the last time we are paying but you guys removed every important content that interacted us to this app. I don't recommend this app because this is not helpful for advanced learners. Everything coming in future will also be priced and the current free materials are not useful. You made us disappointed, and made us understand that your only purpose is to deceive people.

Amazing app for accent reduction. This app is great. I’m that person that NEVER writes reviews. Its that good. It will roast you though, pretty neat-picky but with my advanced level that’s what i needed. Amazing easy interface for everyday use, and great discounts, I bought the full version for a year. God bless you developers ❤️

Awesome!. I just got my membership and I can’t wait to improve my pronunciation skills and sound like a pro. This app is VERY helpful. I regret not getting to know about it sooner. It’s definitely worth the price.

Best App for Learning Better English!!. I am so happy with this app. It gives great corrections on how to pronounce words/sentences. It looks at every detail to make sure you are saying it correctly. Definitely recommend downloading this!!

App has a Bug. I have been actively using this app and notice few bugs already: 1. Sometimes it freezes. 2. Other times when i try to go over my daily training, it is not yet available. Hence needs to practice something else 3. It repeats same words training after training. Even th i have no error. My assumption here it is because it may rotate

There is a problem. The app works almost fine but there is s problem: sometimes a multi-line text appears and the user have to read and record. Some words in the text could not be read because they are obscured by app buttons and icons. Please give me an email to send you the screenshots.

Best app for speaking and listening. During these few days that I used this app, I really felt my progress in speaking, especially in saying the correct pronunciation of words, I suggest you download this app if you have an IELTS test.

The best app to improve your English. I hardly write reviews, but this app deserves so many stars! I have greatly improved my English pronunciation thanks to this app and I always recommend Elsa to my friends is a treasure!!

Crash so often. The concept is good, but the app keep crashing all the time. My signal is stable as I have no problem with other apps. It takes ages to download the lesson, and it wasting my time! I already pay for a 1-year unlimited pass, so I have to continue using it. It's so annoying.

Will be better if…. This app is good for practicing English speaking (especially for beginners). It will be better if accessibility is made easy for those who are visually impaired. I’m a Vietnamese person, and honestly, most mobile apps that developed by Vietnamese are not accessible to people with disabilities. Thanks,

Errors frequently show up. The apps itself is pretty good because it gives us multiple practices and it looks like I can practice constantly. However, when I am trying to pronounce, the apps frequently doesn’t work And error popped up and I have to swipe the apps and repeat practicing at the beginning.

Deserve a 5*. As a foreign speaker, I got a lot of struggles when learning how to speak a "correct" English. However, this app helps me a lot. It helps me overcome the pronunciation problem that I had before. 15 minutes a day, which is not much, but it really changes your future.

A better pronunciation would make you be up in a different level.. I have been so sloppy in pronunciation for too long. It’s time to improve and be above an ordinary people. Being an average isn’t enough for today competitive world!

So cute!. It records what I said so I can’t be in denial lol then it tells you show to say it. It separates the words per silabee and sound so you know which sounds you are saying correctly and which one aren’t by giving you cute stickers that say excellent, almost and red . Really cute!

Cannot open it after your upgrade yesterday. I could not get the app opened now after your upgrade yesterday. It is always showing “downloading”, “retry download”. I hope you can fix it without losing my history records as that’s what I am encouraged to go on.

Probably the best American English.... ... pronunciation improvement and accent reduction app in the store. Yes, it may still have some minor errors and/or bugs, but customer service is really responsive. They have fixed any issues I have found within a week of letting them know.

I’m international master level(English) but.... ELSA is the best and smartest app that includes the package to all learner ,doesn’t matter your level of proficiency but rather you can speak without accent.I had masters level English student but when I tried It really helped me to learn accents ,I suggests everyone to go learn with ELSA ,it’s highly important

Great App for Polishing English Speaking. After living in the U.S. for more than 20 years, don’t mind my accent. But, I do want to improve my articulations. This App’s voice recognition software can pinpoint out the tiny imperfections. It is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for making this product!

Do not pay money for this.. For that price point it looks like a scam. It showed me that I sound like a native speaker in the beginning. I gave my GF to try and she also sound like a native speaker even she has worse accent then me. Ok. Then I’ve tried to speak as I spoke in the first grade in the school. Program told me to try again. Then again, I’ve tried to sound normal how I usually speak. And yes I do have an accent, still sounds like a native speaker. It think this is insult for native speakers…. I will try different app..

Advice able, but too much room for improvements.. The main concept that behind the app is brilliant, it’s accurate but every body should train with female sound and technically as a man I can’t make the frequency range! And also it’s not the best pattern for me, at least. UI could benefited with better design, and login was a trouble, if you purchase the pro and after that you want to make your account.

Best of the best. After living in the US for over a period of time I’ve never tried to fix my English, and is not going to get better unless you do something about it. So how about Elsa. Try it.

More software language support. This is a great software, and it would be even better if the software language could support Chinese. Some software settings will be more convenient to find.

I have a recommendation. First i should thank you all for making such a great app, I TOTALLY LOVE IT!!! and been using it From 2017 and here is my recommendation, please add the information that people with which first language are more likely to pronounce a vowel wrongly , for example east asian people are more likely to pronounce V sound wrongly and some information like this

Crashes too often. The concept and technology are good, but the app crashes at least every 15 minutes. I hope this gets fixed soon as it wasn’t a cheap subscription.

Good app, BUT!. Last month something happen with my app. I have the same dialogues every day. But before, it was working perfect. I tried to send email to Elsa team via Elsa app but it’s doesn’t work. I hope it will be fix)))

This app is a good start for everybody. This app is awesome and it has a lot of features that help language learner focus on improving their pronunciation skills. I love the new AI feature that help me have the conversation like with a English Native Speaker
