## Review summary

Users consistently praise Lingvist for its vocabulary focus and usefulness for beginners, noting it can effectively build base vocabulary and offer grammar examples. However, recurring issues include a paywall after trials, frequent price increases, and login/account creation friction. Language support is limited (few languages, cannot add custom words, Cantonese not supported), with some concerns about auto-renewal. Overall, strong learning value is tempered by access, pricing, and feature limitations.
