Additional frustrations include slow connections and perceived revenue-focused design. The sentiment is mixed: inviting concept with strong social potential, offset by significant paywalls. ### Pros - Ability to meet and chat with people from around the world - Many users report finding cool, interesting, or like-minded conversation partners - Good concept for connecting with others based on shared interests - Overall positive sentiment from users who enjoy the app and its social aspects ### Cons - Pay-to-chat model using diamonds/gems with high costs and limited daily allowances - Free conversations are too short or restricted, making it hard to connect without paying - Pricing and subscription options are confusing or not consistently available - Monetization gating can feel like the app is prioritizing revenue over connecting people - Some reports of slow or difficult connections that hinder conversation ## Similar extensions and apps - [Connect & Meet – New Friends](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.connect_and_meet.customer) — 8,036 users - [CALLINGS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/live.ecom.callings_communication) — 66 users - [Purecall – Connect & Talk](https://chrome-stats.com/d/zini.lite.talkbox) — 1,055,907 users - [Stranger Talk](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.rahul.strangercall) — 457 users - [Hello - Talk, Chat & Meet](https://chrome-stats.com/d/net.helloapp.hello) — 2,600,936 users, 3.50 / 5 - [Takemate – Call, Talk & Relax](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.datewaves.TakeMate) — 13,197 users - [Say - Voice Chat](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.minimuminc.story) — 19,459 users - [Hey! | Talk, Connect, Repeat.](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bizstarterz.hey) — 1,900 users - [Live Video Call - Global Call](https://chrome-stats.com/d/gs.video.call) — 799,047 users - [Stranger Talk - Voice Call](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.krish.strangertalk) — 5,051 users - [Voicly](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.voicly.app) — 10 users - [Ringly: Voice & Video Calls](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.voxringly.app) — 83,764 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.yangpark.connecting)
