Promova is a language learning app (4.6 stars, 63K ratings) that blends illustrated bite-sized lessons with AI-powered role-play conversations and live tutoring across 10 languages.
Founded in 2019 as a flashcard app, Promova evolved into a full learning system. Its core is short, illustrated lessons that build naturally from individual words to full conversations, with grammar rules integrated into lessons rather than isolated in drills. AI and machine learning generate personalized learning plans and daily lessons tuned to your level and interests, while quizzes, books, shadowing lessons, and real-world communication modules round out the curriculum.
Conversation is where Promova differentiates from streak-based apps. AI-powered role-play lets you practice speaking without judgment before trying it on a real person, and the app goes further with group lessons and private 1:1 tutoring (25/50/90-minute sessions) for human instruction. A dedicated Dyslexia mode adjusts fonts, spacing, and color contrast for accessible learning — a rare touch among competitors.
Ten languages are covered: English (a flagship course), Spanish, Korean, Arabic, Italian, French, Ukrainian, German, Portuguese, and Chinese. The free tier is ad-heavy and restricted, but honest: it lets you genuinely test the method before upgrading.
Free tier with ads and restricted access. Premium: monthly around $13-19.99, 3 months $39.99, 6 months $30, 12 months $83.99, and lifetime $299.99 ($49.99-54.97 in current promotions). A 7-day free trial is available on the annual plan. Pricing verified via App Store listing and lingoly.io (October 2026).
Ideal for learners who want vocabulary, grammar, and speaking practice in one app with a human tutoring upgrade path. Less suitable for polyglots wanting many niche languages, or anyone annoyed by upsells after the free tier’s limits.
