Lingo7 review

Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

Lingo7 is an English-learning app for readers who want to build language skills through books and short stories. It places text beside a sentence-by-sentence translation, offers word lookup by tapping, and pairs native narration with synchronized highlighting. Learners can save unfamiliar words for spaced-repetition exercises, and practice chat is also included. The vendor describes adapted A1–A2 stories and original B1–B2 stories, making the app a fit for beginner and intermediate learners who prefer reading practice over speech-recognition lessons.

Its reading workflow is the defining strength: translation, audio, vocabulary review, and exercises sit alongside the text rather than relying on a conventional lesson sequence. Personal books can be imported as EPUB, PDF, FB2, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, or HTML. Lingo7 is available on iOS, Android, and web, though the vendor says browser reading applies to short stories and books require the mobile app. That distinction matters for readers who expect to manage personal book imports from a browser.

Lingo7 has a free tier, where the first page of each book is available at no charge. According to the vendor's English-app comparison page, Premium unlocks subscription content for $5 per month or $30 per year. The paid plan is therefore aimed at readers who want access beyond those first pages and the included subscription content. Choose Lingo7 if translated reading and audio-supported vocabulary work are central to your study routine; learners seeking advanced-level courses or a speech-recognition focus should look elsewhere.
