I've used the app for years. I bought a lifetime plan after a free trial. I improved my fluency a lot after reading dozens of books. I don't use learning features so much anymore, but it is good even as a simple reader app. There is a flow I am not particularly happy about: 25 MB limit per book. I have to compress images using external software before uploading it to Linga. It would be nice if that was a built in feature. I guess the limit is there because books are uploaded to the server.

Fantastic app — what a foreign language ereader should be! I love that I can upload my own epubs, change all the reading settings for accessibility, translate words as I go, save words to my own dictionary, and practice them with flashcards. I do wish there was a free trial on the Pro, though, as I think I'd like it and want to buy lifetime access but don't won't to commit the $80 without at least trying it first.

Just bought the pro version, so figured I may as well give a review. I'm using it for french to English and the translations are really accurate, even in expressions / informal writing / emphasis etc. It's easily the best app for translating ebooks I've used (fast, with a simple but deep interface, translates sentences, gives original forms of words, the ability to listen or see the phonetic etc) That being said, it wasn't completely bugless, but I think the devs work on it quite often
