It's informative and very entertaining. I'm having a really good time helping people out with English and getting help on Swahili
Easy and fun

Simple to use, and connects you with native speakers to give you real life answers rather than textbook answers. Plus, answering questions about your own native language teaches you things you never knew!
Super helpful!

I'm loving this app. I always get responses so quickly and it's nice that I can ask specific questions about words or phrases I can't find in a book.
Great, but needs dev

This is a great idea, a great execution, and a great community. I do think that the iPhone app itself could use some better development, though. Some things I wish… 1. I wish the “Quick!” animation were either unobtrusively fast (ironic that it’s sometimes slow) or not there at all. As is, I post an answer and then keep browsing for a few seconds, only to be surprised by this clock blocking me from learning xD 2. I wish the answer-count badges on questions would automatically update, at the very least when I return to the list of questions after answering one. Otherwise I click on a question expecting to be the first one to answer it and find that it’s already been answered 3 times while I was answering the last question. I do like, however, that the question list does not refresh automatically, so you don’t end up seeing a question you want to look at and then losing it when the list refreshes. 3. I also wish the questions themselves had a refresh button or pull-down refresh function or were more obviously checking periodically for updates. Clearly I’m trying to avoid looking the fool by posting a redundant answer :P 4. I wish that replies to answers showed up as such, instead of being treated in the notifications list and answer count as answers to the original question. 5. I wish there were a way to dismiss questions in the list. That way when you don’t know the answer to one, or aren’t interested, you can stop looking at it. 6. I wish there were a way to filter by “few” answers (maybe 2-3?) instead of only 0. Often the first 5 or so answers can all be useful, or the first answer(s) can be improved upon, so it’s still useful to look at questions with a few answers, but maybe not those with ~10 answers already. 7. I wish the “Questions about [my language of interest]” tab had the filter, “In my native language” instead of “About my language of interest.” The “About my language of interest” filter in the “Questions about [my language of interest]” tab just results in people who are native in my language of interest mistakenly writing that their question is ABOUT their native language. Really, I want to see the questions ABOUT my language of interest FROM people with my native language. >_> Did that make sense? As a side note, I learned about HiNative from Grace, YouTube’s TexanInTokyo. It is very much something I was looking for, and a great way to practice and learn without having to speak one-on-one with someone! Premium is expensive, but I will consider buying it if I find myself spending a lot more time on HiNative in the future.
Great!

I really enjoy this app :) I recommend that anyone who has trouble finding language help, uses this ^^ It is very helpful, but responses can take a while, depending on the time differences between you and the person you are contacting.
Best app
wapppyyyyyyy
This is the most amazing app and is perfect if you need help learning or understanding something in another language or if you love helping someone understand your native language.
