The system smartly matches you based on your native language and proficiency, while allowing you to filter ideal language partners according to various criteria such as age, location, and gender. Plus, with built-in translation and transliteration tools, you can communicate confidently without any language barriers.

ā–ŗ A powerful tool for sharpening your language skills

1) In the middle of texting my language partner, a commercial for dating came on. It startled me, cuz I didn't see any video appearing, I just heard the voice. I had no YouTube or other social media platforms open at the time. There was no option to turn it off. Finally, I navigated away from the chat page I was on, and that stopped the voice streaming. This is very creepy and super intrusive. 2) The language exchange function has many glitches. Response: no screen recording can show sound pb.

This application was good until 2023 and then you see the AI fake profiles, non-learning lives, or non-learning interaction with people. In the last year, the dating focus has increased, during the lives I've seen people expose themselves inappropriately, and conversation topics are not being monitored at all by the staff. As a business model for now, it's very poor and needs a 360 overhaul. Finally, the audio, video services are terrible, and lastly, the server connections need better control.

Didn't complete my profile the night I downloaded this app. Was going to do it later when I had time and a better pic for it. But my account was locked when I was going to finish the profile about a day after downloading. This was Wednesday night. I didn't message anyone because the profile wasn't complete but apparently it didn't matter. Friday morning is when I found out it was restricted. Haven't heard from them after a day with an email to their support.
