Nicko “1Poli.glot4_” Luny (ID: 00000006fde81ab8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/29/2023 I've did have experience with the platform LingQ and I like! I hope to have same experience with extension LingQ Importer.

Austin Hewlett (ID: 000000c5c37e0865) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/04/2023 This is such a great tool to have for picking apart phrases and words from Netflix shows. In general this tool works well, occasionally it doesn't recognize the subtitles when they're there, but if you refresh the page it starts working. Very pleased

Conan M (ID: 0000001caaaa5400) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/05/2022 kind of frustrating. as with lingq in general there's a lot of issues with data/sync'ing and organising my data. so with the lingq importer, i generally want to import blog posts, news articles and general short reading material from the internet for learning spanish. but lingq importer doesn't seem to respect/understand that i have multiple 'courses'. 'courses' i guess are synonymous with folders. so i try to organise/categorise my reading this way... e.g. 'music', 'cooking', 'football' etc... the problem is when i create a new folder (course) using the lingq importer it doesn't show up subsequently. a lot of their functionality i've kind of just given up on and i simply use it as a quick reader + translator. i'm not sure it's worth the subscription honestly.

Clus Agus (ID: 000000eecc6e85a9) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/30/2021 LingQ should take inspiration from other services like vocabtracker and integrate the lingq vocab system into the page where the text is hosted instead of importing, so that formatting and images etc can be preserved. for now this is not very usable.

Sheridan Saint-Michel (ID: 00000045c1817f98) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/11/2021 I'm logged into Hulu, but when I try to import all I get in the lesson is the title "Select Your Plan" and the content "You may also like no hidden fees..." and so on. I get sales copy instead of actual show content. I also tried the firefox extension and got the same result. This doesn't work at all.
