Questions, answered
Is Eloqia free?+
Yes. The first 2 chapters of every book are free, with narration and tap-to-translate. Premium unlocks every chapter of every book.
What level do I need?+
Any. Every book is tagged with its CEFR level, from complete beginners (A1) to near-native readers (C2), so you can start where you are and move up.
Are these the original books?+
No. Each book is an original summary in simple German, written for language learners and based on the book's key ideas. They aren't the published text or a translation, and Eloqia isn't affiliated with the authors or publishers.
Do I need an account?+
You can start reading right away. Sign in with Apple to keep your progress and words on all your devices and to use Premium.
How do I cancel Premium?+
Any time in your Apple ID settings on your iPhone, at least a day before it renews. You keep Premium until the end of the period you paid for.
Is there an Android or web version?+
Eloqia is on iPhone first. A web version is on its way.
