The app is great. Easy to use and addictive. However, the pro features barely make any difference. In addition, people serious enough to improve language proficiency are a minority. Lots of beginners never ascend to the next level. I don't know why the profile picture matters so much as this is Tandem not Tinder. That said, most people are chill in the parties although they can be slow and disorganized. A few hot-headed people get emotional real quick. Proceed with caution.

It's a dating app. Few serious language learners. People simply don't know what they are doing. I've been using the app for 3 years, and have reached out to hundreds and HUNDREDS of people. 90% of people expect to be catered to. Allmost nobody knows how to schedule a language exchange call. It's a free for all that doesn't work well. It's just another messaging service where you can post your best profile photo, and that sucks your time.

I like the app, but there's a problem with audio and photo messages (or really just messages in general). When someone sends me an audio message or a photo, I get a notification but the actual message never shows up. I've tried force closing the app, refreshing, waiting, etc. It just doesn't come. Also when I try to send an audio message, I have to close the app after I've sent it and re-open it to see if my message really did send. Otherwise, I'm not able to see it in the chat. I've accidentally sent audio messages multiple times because I would think it didn't send and then record a new one. Please fix!
