This app is great! I met a language exchange partner and we practice twice a month. We are both serious about learning language skills and we get along well. I recommend this for anyone who wants to learn a language. The only downside is that some people on the app are not serious about practicing. My first language partner stopped messaging me and ghosted me. If that happens to you don't be discouraged. Keep reaching out to people until you find a serious language exchange partner!

The basic concept for this app is great in theory, but I quickly learned it feels more like a dating app or socials app where physical appearance has far too much influence on personal traffic. It invites flirting and ulterior motives, esp with male approaching females. While that hasn't been my entire experience, it describes at least half of my experience. The rest of the time, the conversations pick up and drop off depending on the commitment and interest level of each party.

a very subpar app, it is not very interactive, after paying for the VIP I feel like your profile just gets buried with other users, 95% of the people you reach out to don't respond, or the conversation dies off, it doesn't do enough to foster conversations with people, being a guy (and a straight guy) the guys who did reach out clearly had other ideas outside of learning the language which is annoying and flat out weird, this is NOT A DATING APP, overall a very underwhelming experience
