<p>Hi folks!<p>I'm Davit. Living in Netherlands already for 4 years and working as a Software Engineer at Amazon/AWS. Lately I've been trying to pass Dutch Speaking exams, which I've passed successfully. But during that process I needed a tool which could prepare me exactly for the Dutch Speaking Exam, give some feedback and make me overall confident. I didn't want to go to a tutor. So, I decided to implement a mobile app for that (in the process I used Babbel app which inspired my own app).<p>The app contains 200+ unique questions and integrates optional 'ChatGPT' feedback on the given answer (this is optional). Also a predefined verified answer which you can learn from. All the questions are generated by me and the voices are AI voices. I've tried to introduce multiple personalities to make the experience enjoyable.<p>Based on the feedback I've received from my first post I understood that the majority of people wanted an iOS version, so I was working all the past months to ship on iOS and here we are :)<p>Please let me know what you think. Your feedback will be really appreciated. The app is currently free and contains no Ads. Later (after some improvement) I might monetize it to cover the costs, so I would really appreciate if you've also mentioned if you think you'd give money for it and if not what it needs to deliver so that it deserves a pay. Thanks!!<p>iOS app: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dutch-speaking-trainer/id6499470406" rel="nofollow">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dutch-speaking-trainer/id64994...</a><p>Android app: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dutchspeaking.exam">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dutchspeak...</a></p>

<p>This is a cliche answer but I think you have to genuinely have the problem or be very near to it to come up with a good idea and afterwards execution.<p>Throughout my life I had several projects that I've never launched. This time I decided to go till the end and launch this app: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dutchspeaking.exam">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dutchspeak...</a><p>Last year I've been preparing for Dutch Speaking Exams without a tutor (using Babbel and ChatGPT) and I really neede a dedicated app to quickly prepare me for the exam. So this project was born from the my actual need I had.<p>During implementation though I figured that it's easier to come up with new ideas (as working on something spawns ideas or at least ideas of pivoting).</p>

<p>Hi!<p>I've finally launched the app I've been working on with my friend.<p>It's designed to assist users in preparing for Dutch Speaking exams, featuring 200+ unique questions and integrated 'AI' feedback. Currently available only on Google Play.<p>This is my first launch ever, so I'm very excited! Hope to get some feedback. Thanks!</p>
