Frequently Asked Questions about the Besser Sprechen App

1. General App Information

What is Besser Sprechen?

Besser Sprechen is a training app for improving voice, pronunciation, articulation and expression. The content was developed by experienced speakers and voice experts. Whether you speak a lot professionally, perform on stage, advise customers, or want to improve your vocal presence in everyday life – here you get professional, practical training directly on your smartphone.

Who is the app suitable for?

The app is aimed at anyone who wants to develop their speaking skills. It is particularly suitable for teachers, actors, presenters, frequent speakers in call centers or sales, coaches, streamers, but also for people who simply want to communicate more clearly and understandably – professionally and privately.

What distinguishes Besser Sprechen from other language apps?

Instead of automated AI exercises or generic content, Besser Sprechen offers well-founded exercise series with real professional voices, targeted training methods and clear structures. Each exercise is designed to be practical – and often with a touch of humor.

Does Besser Sprechen fall under the Distance Learning Protection Act (FESG)?

No. Besser Sprechen is not a distance learning school, but a training app with self-learning exercises, tips and optional individual feedback (e.g. voice check). There are no curricula, exams or degrees. The voice check or voice check session is also individual feedback or a one-time Zoom call – not distance learning in the legal sense. Therefore, Besser Sprechen explicitly does not fall under the Distance Learning Protection Act (FESG).

What is speech training?

Speech training is the targeted practice of voice, pronunciation, articulation, emphasis and speaking pace so that you speak more clearly, understandably and convincingly. In the Besser Sprechen app you get structured exercise series with real professional voices for this – from warming up your voice and articulation exercises to complete speech-training courses you can do anytime on your smartphone.

What is the difference between speech training and language training?

Language training is usually about learning a language – vocabulary, grammar or foreign languages. Speech training starts where you already master your language: it improves HOW you speak – voice, sound, pronunciation, presence and impact. Besser Sprechen is a speech-training app: you don't learn a new language, you train your voice and your speaking for more clarity and confidence.

2. Content & Usage

Is there a free version?

Yes! With the Free Bundle you get a small but fine insight into our exercises – free, without registration and ad-free. Ideal for getting a taste.

How can I unlock new bundles?

You can purchase bundles at any time directly in the app as a one-time in-app purchase. With the purchase they belong to you permanently – without ongoing costs.

Is there also a subscription model?

Yes. The subscription gives you access to all exercises. There are two variants: • Variants: Monthly or annual. With the annual subscription you save two months. • Trial period: Both variants can be tested free for 7 days (only once per user possible). • Credit system: With your subscription you receive 100 credits per month. Each exercise costs 1 credit. Even a started exercise uses 1 credit. • Expiry: Unused credits expire at the end of the month. At the start of a new month you automatically receive 100 credits again. • Additional credits: If your credits are used up before the end of the month, you can purchase additional credits for a fee.

What is the difference between subscription and bundle purchase?

In addition to the subscription, you can continue to purchase bundles permanently. With a bundle purchase you have a lifetime usage right (as long as the Besser Sprechen app exists). When using purchased bundles, no credits are deducted. Credits are only charged for bundles that are part of the subscription.

What is the difference between bundles and Coach+ content?

Bundles are thematically organized exercise packages from Besser Sprechen – spoken by well-known professional voices such as Dietmar Wunder or Irina von Bentheim. Coach+ is a separate area with special courses from external speakers, speech therapists or coaches – including media courses, speech therapy-oriented training and voice check.

Do I have to speak out loud during the exercises?

Yes, absolutely! The exercises thrive on active participation. You will be asked to repeat passages, form sounds or try out emphases. This is how you train your voice effectively – audible and noticeable.

Can I keep the purchased content forever?

Yes! All bundles you buy once belong to you permanently – without follow-up costs. Regardless of the subscription model, your purchases remain.

Can I also have my voice evaluated?

Yes. In the Coach+ area you can send a short voice recording (max. 60 seconds). An experienced speaker or coach listens to your voice and gives you personal feedback in the form of a voice message – directly accessible in the app. The voice check is subject to a fee.

I have a practice. May I use the app professionally?

The regular version of the app is not approved for commercial use in practices or therapy facilities. For practice access, please contact us at praxiszugang@bessersprechen.app.

Why am I addressed formally in some exercises and informally in others?

Our content comes from different speakers, coaches and speech therapists – each with their own style and target audience. The official Besser Sprechen bundles consistently use the formal 'Sie' form. In the Coach+ area, however, the coach can also address you informally with 'du' to create a more personal atmosphere.

3. Technology & Compatibility

On which devices does the app run?

iOS: iPhone, iPad and Macs with Apple processor (from macOS 13) Android: Smartphones, Tablets (from Android 8)

Can I also use the app offline?

Yes. After purchase or subscription, the content is automatically saved locally on your device. You can therefore also use it without an active internet connection.

I have the old version of the app – will my purchases remain?

Yes! Previously purchased content can also be restored in the new version. If you have problems with the transfer, feel free to contact us: support@bessersprechen.app

4. Purchase & Support

Why is the app free in the App Store, but the content is not?

The app itself is free so you can try it out in peace – including a Free Bundle. There are costs for advanced content because there is a lot of work behind each bundle: research, editorial planning, text work and professional implementation. This way we ensure that you get high-quality, well-thought-out training.

How does the purchase in the app work?

After tapping on a bundle or completing a subscription, a dialog appears through which you can confirm the purchase. Billing is done directly through the App Store (Apple or Google). Content or subscriptions are unlocked immediately.

I have technical problems – what can I do?

Just send us an email to support@bessersprechen.app. We are a small, dedicated team and will get back to you as soon as possible – usually within 24 hours.

How often is the app updated?

We are continuously working on improvements, new content and technical updates. As a rule, a new version with corrections or new functions appears about once a month.

How is my data protected?

Data protection is important to us. We only collect the data that is necessary to use the app – and do not pass on any information to third parties. You can find more information in our privacy policy in the app and on our website.
