Tutors are great. Preply business practices are not. They removed the option to cancel subscription on phone app, while it's very convenient on the app to subscribe and they continually push adding additional lessons. Cancellation from a computer requires you to confirm 3 times that you want to cancel. There's absolutely no customer service support, lost several lessons that tutors didn't show up. Tutors don't get paid for trial lessons even if we as students subscribe. iTalki is better

The app is great as a platform for language learning. But the company is run like an internet scam. Its business model seems to depend on trapping you into subscriptions and paying for lessons you can't use (im guessing because the company takes the money when you don't meet with a tutor). It's full of little traps. Restrictions on cancelling or changing your subscription, lesson credits that expire if you don't use them before the end of the month, etc.

The app is great!! I'm very satisfied with my tutor, and it's very easy to work past the app's flaws when working with somebody so wonderful. I do wish the app would work out it's flaws though, sometimes in call the chat doesn't work, and my tutor has expressed how she often uses other websites to call her students because the Preply calls don't work well for everybody! I got lucky for them to work for me, but luckily for anyone it doesn't work for, most tutors have an alternative. 💛
