Review summary

User reviews praise TalkTalk for AI-driven language practice and Korean content, with some English-learning success. However, repeated subscription and restore issues, onboarding blockers, intrusive upgrade prompts, and translation/UX inconsistencies hinder usability and retention.

Pros

AI-powered language practice with targeted feedback and native-sounding guidance.
Strong Korean language content with useful phrases and reported learning potential.
Positive English-language practice using the AI character and overall language-learning usefulness.

Cons

Persistent subscription and purchase restoration problems (charges not applying, restore/loading failures).
App instability and onboarding blockers (getting stuck on screens, cannot progress).
Intrusive upsell and subscription-management flaws (frequent upgrade prompts, not recognizing purchases).
Translation/copy/UX inconsistencies (copying text for translation not possible; translations shown in Chinese; inconsistent English accents).

2024-02-19	Mi*****	I bought the 6 month subscription but it’s not going to my account, got notification that it already pay, check in the iCloud settings the subscription is pay, but couldn’t restore.

2024-02-17	LB*****	It seems like it has so much potential, but unfortunately every time I tried to click on something to interact with the app, it pushed an offer at me for a paid subscription. This wouldn’t have been a problem except for the fact that I accepted one offer for premium/full access after a short trial period and tried again, only to still not have access and be blocked by another offer. That offer was better (it came with a longer trial for full access to the features), so I accepted it, thinking it would fix the problem. Instead, when I tried to play the app, no premium access was granted and it went right back to the original offer like I hadn’t accepted anything. It was highly annoying and the fact that it couldn’t recognize that I’d accepted a subscription offer made me concerned about the quality of the app in general. I was worried that it would “eat” my payment and still not give me full access once the free trial was over, so I canceled everything and I’m about to delete it. Really such a shame.

2024-02-13	br*****	The app seems pretty good and extremely useful. However, they offer you a subscription with a 3 day free trail but when you pay it just keeps loading, for whatever reason it doesn’t let you restore or even acknowledge your subscription.

2024-01-23	do*****	This is a pretty good app to learn a language I was learning Korean and the phrases were good but I don’t know if it was just me but I rlly wanted to learn the alphabet of the Korean language and how the words look like in the language and like if the app could help me learn/ memorize the letters it would’ve been even better but other than that this app is pretty cool 5/5
