Is a Language Exchange Companion App Subscription Worth It?

Users feel deceived by fake free trials that charge $35-89 before the stated trial period ends. Many report being automatically subscribed to the most expensive plan without clear consent. The pricing is perceived as overpriced relative to value, especially when the app doesn't work properly.

Users are willing to pay for language learning apps IF they can properly evaluate them first and IF the app actually works. The desire for a legitimate trial period is strong - users want to test functionality before committing. The backlash suggests users would pay reasonable prices for quality, but Lingard's practices have destroyed trust.

All complaints reference subscription issues with no mention of one-time purchase options, suggesting subscriptions are the only model offered. Users are frustrated by being locked into recurring charges, especially when charged without proper authorization or before trial periods end.
