Does Langua have a mobile app?

During 2024, we’ve quickly gone from 0 to 5,000 subscribers. But some of you have experienced compatibility issues between your web browsers and the audio/recording technologies we rely on.

So we’ve been working hard to build mobile apps, which use more suitable technology.

They're not perfect yet (we're working on lots of exciting things), but we've already had some great feedback.

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. Ensure you are on the latest iOS to avoid issues.

For everyone else, you can find the Android app here. Note that there is a bug with the Login/Sign up with Google option, so you'll need to use the standard email/password method until we update the app (should be done by Monday, things are slower as our most of our team members have kids and it's the holidays). You'll also need to subscribe via the website until we set up purchases on Android.

If you already signed up via our website: when you open the app, please make sure you click Log In (the first screen is a Sign Up page). Please ignore the Google/Apple login options as you will need to use your existing login to access your subscription.

We make improvements every 5-7 days, so check for updated versions regularly. You can also turn on automatic updates.

The apps currently offer Langua’s main tool: conversation practice, and all associated features (translate and save vocab, feedback report, etc.). You'll also find the flashcards, with a better design than the web version.

We recommend using the apps rather than website as not only do they avoid certain recording/audio issues related to web browsers, but they will quickly become more advanced than the website. Note that whilst podcasts, videos and AI stories aren't in the apps yet, we may add them in a few months.

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. 😎

Want to use Langua like an app on your laptop?

If you are using Google Chrome, there's a simple way to access Langua easily without having to search for the right page each time:

1) Go to the page you want to start on (e.g. the page where you choose a conversation)

2) Click the three vertical dots below the 'X' button in the top right.

3) Scroll down to 'cast, save and share' or similar. Select 'Install page as app'. Confirm install via the button that'll pop up towards the top of the browser.

4) Go back to Chrome and search this in the search bar: chrome://apps

5) Right click on LanguaTalk. You can then opt for it to open when your device starts up, and/or add a shortcut to your desktop or start menu.
