Lext Talk - Language Exchange! Reviews

Started off great but now there are some glitches.

This app was great and can still be great. The translation feature stopped work a few weeks ago (Though to be honest it was not that great, Google is better and Google is only 85% accurate). Now before I type every message it says "Problem with the translation service. Try again later." My guess is that the developers want you to rate the app and added the "Problem with the translation service. Try again later" and stopped the free translations until I rated the app so LMK if anyone else experienced the same thing. I will update my rating if the problems go away after posting this review.

Hi, for anyone looking for a language exchange app this is definitely a place where you can find people to talk to, I found a couple of good language partners and have already learned a lot. However, if you're set on speaking and talking and learning with on the language/languages you came for, know that your profile is visible to everyone and it's likely that people not even interested in what you're there to learn will message you. ALSO, for all minors + anyone who may get uncomfortable, even though this is not a dating app people will message and flirt with you, that's just how life works no one ever follows the rules on these apps haha, but why I'm concerned is please stay cautious of people much older than you trying to flirt, stay safe!

Wish it were more popular!

I'm always looking for fun ways to practice my German, so this seemed like such a cool way to connect to others. But there doesn't seem to be much activity going on, so it's hard to sustain a conversation if you only write one sentence per week or so. I'll hang around hoping this catches on, though! Chat with me in German!

Noticed you guys just updated this...

There is a bug with text input. If you tap the small globe on your iPhone keyboard to change input languages, a white screen scrolls up, obstructing your view and making it impossible to see, edit, or even send your text. The only solution is to be to in the input mode you want, *before* you go to open up a keyboard in a chat window.

Great people, the app itself is a little buggy

This app opens you up to a friendly, active community striving to learn language. I've already met allot of great people, however it could use some housecleaning. There are allot of bugs pertaining to the placement of things eg if you leave the app while writing a chat message and come back the chat window will be to low. A few times I've also encountered a "LextTalk server error" eg I have yet to be able to sign in my LextTalk account on my phone, every time I try that error comes up in a little bubble, I tap ok and then nothing happens. Some features that would that would be awesome: The ability to select more than one "active language" as I'm learning two languages, also if you know multiple languages I would hope you're staying active with all of them. Oh ya, that reminds me, a category for not native, but proficient might be nice. There's allot more that I will add in here as time goes on, but despite the bugs, this is a great portal for connecting with language lovers and I'll be using it at least until I find something better. Love and Light! Joe*

Awesome :)

I used to love this app, now the stupid network error notifications make it impossible to use! Its ridiculous! Fix and i'll give 4-5 stars

Impeccable

Awsome sauceom

I've only been using it for a while, so I haven't seen any of the bugs everyone's mentioning; it's GREAT, and the translator is BRILLIANT.

I've used many language learning apps but this has been by far the best and the least tedious method of learning Spanish. Interacting with others comfortably allows me to practice what I already know and also learn common and useful expressions that are helpful in developing practical conversational abilities. The reason I stress how impressed I am with this app, and the reason I am writing a review/comment, something I've never been inspired to do prior, is because I wish to have my constructional criticism taken seriously. The following are suggestions of how you could possibly perfect this app in future updates. Meeting people to talk to is easy, but communicating over a period of time isn't. If there were a way to organize a friend's list with customized categories one could keep track of who is responsive and not have to see the messages you sent without getting a response. In group chats, I wish I could click an icon, similar to the translator, that would connect me to a one on one chat with somebody I've just met. On a similar note, I had trouble with the search tool, thus I give the vague suggestion of "more user friendly." Learning aids such as a phrase book might be a nice feature but isn't needed. If you add face to face talk I would pay up to ten dollars for this. If you make speaking directly (vocally) possible I would definitely pay five maybe up to ten. Let me know somehow if you found this helpful/ saw it at all so I know whether or not I've just wasted a decent amount of time or if this is something I might again do.
