Ratings and reviews

I have so much fun making use of my knowledge in my native language. The internet usually brings out the worst in people. Conversely, with this app, I have so many authentically good and productive interactions with people. It fulfills a sense of usefulness. There are options for all kinds of teaching: correcting pronunciation, comparing words by definition, giving example sentences for words, and my personal favorite peer-review.

It's a truly helpful app to study languages, especially because of the native speakers. It really helps me clear up specific doubts and problems, and I can also help others with their own problems. It doesn't confine you to the role of a learner or a teacher which makes this app so fun to use. Excited to see what else the app could bring with future updates.

I like the concept, but at the end of the setup process the app insists that I ask a question using a format that doesn't suit my question. EDIT: After your quick response, I reinstalled the app to find I am a member despite not finishing the setup. I would suggest that an improvement would be not to limit the setup process to a single question format while greying out the other format options.
