Does Langua have a mobile app?
Yes, and it has several advantages over the web version:
1) You'll avoid browser and device compatibility issues that can interfere with audio and recording (especially on Apple products).
2) The interface is slightly more user-friendly.
3) You can start conversations in a couple of clicks.
Apple users: You can find the iOS app here. If you instead search on the app store, be aware there is another app with the same name. Ours has a red logo. Check you're on the latest iOS to avoid issues.
For everyone else, you can find the Android app here.
We make improvements every 5-10 days, so check for updated versions regularly. You can also turn on automatic updates.
The app currently offers Langua’s main tool: conversation practice, plus all supporting features (translate and save vocab, flashcards, feedback report, audio summaries, etc.). The only downside is it doesn't yet have every feature available on web e.g. podcasts.
If you're not sure whether to purchase via the website or the app, note that:
- Discount codes can only be applied on the website (as of the time of writing - Feb 2025)
- The Android app has our 30-day guarantee (like on web), whilst Apple controls refunds there, but we do offer a free trial on iOS
- Irrespective of where you subscribe, you can use your account across devices
P.S. If you want to continue using the web version on your mobile, you can also add it to your home screen on your mobile, making it easy to access like an app. This will help you remember to practice. Here’s how to do this in just a few seconds:
If you have an Android phone:
1) open Google Chrome and go to the page on Langua you want to pin to your home screen.
2) in the top right, next to the bar with the website URL, you’ll see three dots in a vertical line. Click those dots and select Add to Home Screen.
3) Tap Add. If your home screen is already full, you may find Langua doesn’t end up there. You can move an app you don’t use often, and drag Langua there to replace it 😀
If you have an iPhone or iPad:
1) open Safari (or Chrome) and go to the page on Langua you want to pin to your home screen.
2) in the top right, next to the bar with the website URL, you should see an icon like the one circled in red below. Click it and select Add to Home Screen.
3) Tap Add. If your home screen is already full, you may find Langua doesn’t end up there. You can move an app you don’t use often, and drag Langua there to replace it. 😎
