It has good speakers, but the mic feature doesn't work for many people. The basic plan only lets you study one language, duolingo doesn't limit you. The lesson structures are also not great to me, it's really not all that different from duolingo aside from pacing. There's no glossary for words or grammar. You can't tap on single words that give you trouble to see their meaning or focus on their pronunciation. It makes you listen to the whole sentence. I think babbel is way overhyped and costly.

Hello there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Of course, learning a new language is a subjective procedure, and different methods work for each person. We've noted your observation and will gladly pass it on to the relevant team.

Everytime this app updates, something breaks. It seems to no longer recognize my voice. May be caused because the mike doesn't seem to activate the first time I press the button. My device is a Pixel 6. Thankfully, I have also been using Duolingo, which works better but Babbel moves more quickly so it would be nice if it would function since I paid for my subscription. At this point I expect to cancel at the end of it. Frustrating!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME! TRY ANY OTHER APP! After reaching out due to application errors and receiving the run around... being told, try this, do this, send a screenshot, now send a screen recording, log in, log out... I still have common issues with the accuracy of the microphone. I've done everything they tell me to do, and yet the issues persist... The frustration is more than enough to affect my learning, and it's really disappointing, and I'm highly unsatisfied. 0/10 ⭐️
