Cannot even sign up.

Mystery Man 93

I have tried to sign up with 4 different emails. EVERY SINGLE TIME, the app says that I have already signed up with that email. (All of them were mine, and the names were all quite diverse/creative) I really wanted this app to work, so I deleted and then proceeded to reinstall it. Again the app said i had already logged in with them. I am very disappointed.


A Good Intro and Good in Theory

Leigha Babineau

If you're looking to expose yourself to more native content or speakers in a language you're learning, this is a great place to start! But actually finding solid advice and explanations is much harder haha. I'm learning English > Japanese so my experiences may not be universal among the community, but the user-base as a whole could stand to be far more critical when giving feedback. People will let small mistakes slip through and give learners a pass despite the fact that what they are saying IS incorrect, probably to try and seem polite. And I've seen more than a few people giving straight up WRONG advice- mostly non-native English speakers explaining English to others, but theres been a few native speakers who explain things poorly or give incorrect feedback as well. I think the moments feature is really hindered by the inability to edit comments or corrections after you send them, and the way comments are ordered under posts can be really confusing. The fact that you can't reply to a comment, only tag them in your own under the same post, is mind boggling, especially because they're in reverse chronological order. There's also no way to "downvote" other peoples corrections in those instances where they're giving the wrong advice, which can lead to misunderstanding and misinformation. You basically just have to take all the advice you get from this app with a grain of salt.


It keeps freezing and won’t let me open the app

Beware

Jamester1978

They mark you as “fake” after you use it for a week or two and then ask you to send official documents to prove that you’re not. Not even a mention of GDPR in their privacy policy so no one in their right mind would send over such documents. Meanwhile half of their profiles are pictures of known supermodels, but the ugly dude is the one who has to prove his identity.


Easy

Super approachable and easy all to use. Easy and fun to talk to people online who are learning languages


Bombarded with in-app messages

Shahmahi

Not even 5 minutes of signing up, I kept getting messages from the administration. I had 15 messages not even 30 minutes in. It’s annoying. I tried turning off notifications but still received more messages. I tried adding English langiage as the second language I speak and I had to pay to do that?!? What a joke. They also don’t have Assyrian language as option to add for my third language.


Great app. I have a request.

I love this app! It’s very helpful. I want to request a new feature. Can you please add dark mode to the app, so we can use the app in the dark?
