Review summary

Users generally praise the app for its easy-to-use interface and the blend of basic lessons with language-exchange capabilities, along with a friendly design. However, widespread onboarding and reliability problems, frequent errors, and persistent billing issues (including misleading lifetime offers) severely hurt the experience. Many users report crashes, startup errors, and onboarding blockers. Language options are limited and filtering is missing, and safety concerns with harassment and weak blocking/reporting features are common. Overall, the app shows promise but is marred by stability, pricing, and content limitations.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive UI.
Combines basic language-learning features with language-exchange and chat to practice with others.
Friendly design and straightforward navigation.

Cons

Onboarding/startup errors and crashes prevent account setup and app launch.
Billing and pricing issues, including paid verification, misleading 'free lifetime' promotions, and charges.
Limited language options and lack of filters to find suitable partners.
Safety concerns: harassment and insufficient blocking/reporting features; issues with scammers.
General reliability issues: frequent bugs, crashes, error messages, and broken features.

2026-06-04	Se*****	I downloaded this to practice French and connect with native speakers. The app seemed solid based on the ratings, so I gave it a shot. Here’s the thing though—to actually chat with people, you need to pay. That’s the main feature, and it’s behind a paywall. Plus, there’s no way to test your level or figure out where to start. On Duolingo you can take placement tests, but here you’re kind of on your own. The lesson interface is pretty basic and could use some work. And when you’re browsing people to chat with, you can’t filter by language or country, which would be super helpful. That said, the concept is solid. If you want to practice with real people and don’t mind paying, it’s a decent option. Just wish the free version let you actually talk to someone instead of just setting up your profile. Worth trying if you’re intermediate or higher and ready to pay.

2026-01-02	So*****	The app is a good attempt, but riddled with errors and malfunctions. I can’t even advance cause I can’t get to the button on the bottom of the screen. 2 stars.

2025-10-19	tr*****	The app is easy to use straightforward. It has basic lessons like flashcards like Duolingo plus language exchange so you could connect with other people around the world and practice with them. I noticed there is a chat bot that was actually really helpful so before I had the courage to speak with other language learners, I chatted a bit with the bot which increase my confidence overall good app, friendly design straightforward everything worked.

2025-03-30	ja*****	So they put this app on sale offering a lifetime membership for free and then made it impossible to register during the sale. Is this a scam or just a badly run app?
