The idea of it is nice, but the app is not good. I found almost no one speaking the language I'm studying, it automatically used my email address as a username that was my real name, it bombarded me repeatedly to turn on my location even though I wasn't looking to chat with people in my country, and I was immediately flooded with messages from people practicing English. Which, I would not mind helping if the app didn't encourage depence on the translator that broke halfway through conversation.

Hi, username is generated automaticlly based on your email if you do not make one yourself but it can be changed in user settings. In the map section you can choose whether to be visible on the map or not. If you are having issues with the translator please send us a screen recording of the issue at go@linguado.com and we will be happy to help.

Seems great. I got registered and it was good. An hour later I come back to check out how to message people and I can't get off the loading screen. Can't log in, can't see maps or people. If it ever decides to work properly I'll change my rating because I was excited for another language learning app. It still isn't working seven days later
