I can’t see the people who want to be friends and I can’t speak with the people who I’ve sent a greeting to because of the subscription. ### 3/5 — It has potential… *2026-07-21* This app has great potential. I like that it does live translation during a call or even during text chats. But the problem is, this is a connecting app and you can’t do much connecting if you don’t buy a subscription. What’s the point of connecting with people if it’s just a short conversation and then you can’t even talk to them again or chat if you don’t have enough gems or a subscription. It defeats the purpose of trying to make meaningful connection and meet people. Mind you there’s not a way to get enough gems outside of paying for them. I have been avoiding calls due to the fact that I know, even if the call goes well, I won’t be able to talk to them again because I don’t have the gems or subscription to do so… I want to connect with people but the high pricing makes it impossible for the less fortunate to do any of that. The most I can do is send a limited amount of hi’s to people each day, waiting for a match. And then wait for someone to actively text me in order to chat with them. ### 3/5 — Misleading ads *2026-07-20* Overall, I would say the app is pretty nice. I love that it’s filtered and it feels pretty safe when talking to people from around the world however, the Instagram ads that I see are extremely misleading and they are not accurate to what the actual app has they even try to say there’s a video call option but it’s only audio calling and it is pretty pricey to try to extend a call by a few minutes and you can really only use it once ### 3/5 — It's good but also not *2026-06-13, version 3.80* You basical can't do anything until you pay money and you have to be a certain age which isn't fair because a lot of younger teens especially wanna meet people too and the prices their good but you can't do anything and it kinda forces you to call but some people don't like calling because of anxiety or social anxiety ### 4/5 — Updates? *2026-05-22* I’m not sure what got updated, but I would like to say some updates that need to be on the app, so for starters when I call a friend personally on the app it’s a person that doesn’t really speak English so if you could please add a translator to the personal call in chat. Secondly if we could choose the game range we want to call, like on the greeting part of the app, I wish this app was opened to 14 or 12 and up. I haven’t met many younger people on the app not even 17 year olds. So if you could do these updates that would be nice. Great app thought met many nice and funny people . 👍🏽 **Developer response:** Hi, That’sjsme! This is Connecting. Your feedback means a lot to us! The translator feature and age range suggestions have been noted and passed along to our team. We're glad Connecting has helped you meet so many great people 😊 If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out through the in-app support channel. Thanks again and hope you have a wonderful day! Best regards, Connecting. ### 1/5 — Scam!!! ❌ *2026-05-09, version 3.78* They are just fraudulent people, don’t download the app, they are just scammers! Be careful, they only ask for money and they are not the ones that appear in the profiles! DO NOT DOWNLOAD the app ### 1/5 — bad experience using the app. *2026-05-09, version 3.78* i was trying to create an account expecting to maybe create some friends, but i noticed that there was only a few country’s available when i tried to use my number. i am from Denmark (+45) and the app didn’t have this option, which made the app non-useable. i hope to see if you guys add this in the future because i cant use it. ### 3/5 — Where’d everyone go *2026-04-26, version 3.76* I was talking to multiple people in the app and i signed in and they’re all gone! Where’d everyone go? ### 5/5 — best app *2026-04-23* made lots of friends and helped me enjoy my speaking skills! **Developer response:** Hi, jack jones j! This is Connecting.

Best regards, Connecting. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — region diff *2026-08-17* useless app: all users in the east ### 1/5 — Can’t even delete my account *2026-08-06, version 3.83* Everything pretty much cost money. Instead of letting us see who said hi to us through diamonds instead you got to pay for it with money. Also you can’t even delete your account ### 1/5 — paywall *2026-07-07, version 3.81* as others have said multiple times, everything is behind a paywall. at the very least, allow new users to use “premium” or “basic” (which, mind you, is still $10 a week) features for a bit to give a feel for if they even WANT to pay those prices. i find it absurd that theyre even expecting people to pay anything more than $2 a week for this app. truthfully, this app is not worth the pricetag. i would understand if maybe you wanted to do $14 per month, but $14 per week is insane pricing for an app that has catfishers etc. not to mention, $14 a week to see who talked to you? is that not dumb? the app says theyre changing their prices soon. if they arent lowered down i will not be having this app wasting my precious storage space. ### 1/5 — Needs to be free without needing to pay *2026-07-04, version 3.81* Paying for a subscription just to text others just sucks honestly, I don’t wanna have to buy a subscription just to text anyone or see who texted me. Honestly this app could do better. ### 1/5 — It’s okay. *2026-06-27, version 3.81* It’s fine. Just boring scammers looking for entertainment. Don’t recommend it if looking for deeper content. I would use it for entertainment. I forsure caught a few ones. ### 1/5 — Pay to do anything? *2026-06-24* I want to like this app, I really do. I love the idea that comes along with it and how the app runs…but how come you have to pay to do…ANYTHING? Seriously…what is the point in even letting users who don’t have premium (which is TERRIBLE pricing, by the way.) get access to send or receive hi’s? There is literally no point..? And it’s very rare you do come across someone who sent you a hi. This app is so extremely hungry, it’s frustrating. And reading the reviews, and the developers replied to the reviews, y’all don’t give two craps. You keep saying “we will forward it to our team!”, but does it matter if your team doesn’t do anything? And there are so many more complaints I could make, but other reviews have already made those complaints, and obviously they are being ignored. Do better. **Developer response:** Hi, HHDHDHSJSND! This is Connecting:) We hear you and we're truly sorry for the frustration... Your feedback about pricing and feeling like free users have little to do on Connecting is something we take seriously. We'll make sure your concerns reach the right people and we mean it. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out through the in-app support channel! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts! Best regards, Connecting. ### 1/5 — Wish I could like it… *2026-06-20, version 3.81* Everything paywalled, can’t do basically anything ### 1/5 — Can’t do anything unless you pay *2026-06-20, version 3.81* So disappointed, at least let us chat with the matches. ### 1/5 — No more good *2026-05-31, version 3.80* New update is really bad and horrible, u cant find the people who liked you on greetings anymore, I thought this is a really good app because all others are really expensive and at least we could enjoy this one for a little free and make some friends. as you know we are mostly young and students that we can’t afford these prices, I have to change my review to 1 star from 5 ### 1/5 — Just a money grab *2026-05-27* You can’t message people unless u pay ? And even then the people you’re interested in have to pay or they can’t see your profile when you swipe on them ?? I thought this app was meant to bring people closer together it’s doing the complete opposite of this **Developer response:** Hi, Kitt_katsareyum! This is Connecting. We understand your frustration and we sincerely apologize for the experience. We know it feels limiting when both sides need a subscription to connect. Your feedback is valuable, and we are actively working to make Connecting more accessible for everyone. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out through the in-app support channel. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. Best regards, Connecting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thoughtful app! *2026-07-25* You match with someone, get to talk with them and call them. Each day you get 1 free token to call the person you’re interested in, however, extending the call may cost gems. But that’s okay because the free token makes up for that. I wish there were more filter options though. Overall, it’s a cool app that auto-translates your call so you don’t have to be afraid to speak to someone from another country! So far, I’ve made many new friends to learn Korean from! **Developer response:** Hi Xiaoting111! This is Connecting! Thank you so much for sharing such detailed and thoughtful feedback! We're truly happy to hear that you've been able to make new friends and practice Korean through our real-time voice translation feature—that's exactly the kind of meaningful connection we hope to facilitate. Your point about wanting more filter options is really valuable to us, and we've passed it along to our product team for review as we continue improving the matching experience. It's wonderful to know that the daily free token system is working well for you while you explore conversations across different countries. We're grateful for users like you who embrace the opportunity to connect beyond language barriers, and we'll keep working hard to make Connecting even better. Wishing you many more great conversations ahead! 🌟 Best regards, Connecting ### 5/5 — 自分の人生に新しい面白さやワクワクが加わった！ *2026-07-24* Connectingを使い始めてから、ただ人と話すだけのアプリではなく、世界中の人とつながれる本当に素敵な場所だと感じています。最初は少し緊張していましたが、実際に使ってみると本当に優しい方ばかりで、毎回安心して会話を楽しむことができています。 特に嬉しかったのは、いろいろな国の人と自然に会話しながら、お互いの言語を学び合えるところです。相手の言葉を少しでも使ってみようと思ったり、自分の言葉を相手が頑張って使ってくれたりする瞬間がとても嬉しくて、会話そのものがすごく楽しくなりました。勉強というよりも、楽しく話しているうちに自然と単語や表現を覚えられるので、言語に興味がある人には本当にぴったりだと思います。 また、いろいろな国の文化や考え方を知ることができるので、使うたびに新しい発見があります。今まではあまり知らなかった国にも興味が湧くようになり、「いつか行ってみたいな」「もっとその国のことを知りたいな」と思うことが増えました。会話を通して世界が少しずつ広がっていく感覚があり、ただ楽しいだけでなく、知識も自然と増えていくところが本当に魅力的です。 さらに面白いのは、国が違っても共通点がたくさん見つかることです。好きな音楽、食べ物、学校生活、趣味など、話しているうちに「それ自分も好き！」という瞬間がたくさんあって、初対面でもすぐに打ち解けられます。無理に話題を作らなくても、自然に会話が続くので、毎回とても楽しい時間を過ごせています。 そして何より、このアプリの一番好きなところは、利用している人たちの優しさです。本当にみんな温かくて、丁寧に話してくれる方が多いです。分からない言葉があっても優しく教えてくれたり、こちらが話しやすいように気を遣ってくれたりして、安心して利用できます。正直、今まで使った他のアプリと比べても、Connectingは本当に民度が高いと感じました。変な不安を感じることが少なく、気持ちよく交流できるので、毎回開くのが楽しみになっています。 新しい人と出会いたい人、外国の人と話してみたい人、言語を楽しく学びたい人には本当におすすめできるアプリです。暇つぶしとして始めたとしても、気づいたら世界の人とつながる楽しさにハマっていると思います。これからもたくさんの人と交流しながら、もっといろいろな国のことを知っていきたいです。本当に素敵なアプリなので、これからも長く使い続けたいと思っています。 **Developer response:** こんにちは、0suk3様！コネクティングです！ レビューをお寄せいただき、本当にありがとうございます✨ 世界中の方々との会話を通じて、言語や文化を自然に学びながら楽しんでいただけているとのこと、とても嬉しく思います。お互いの言葉を使い合う瞬間や、国を超えた共通点を見つけたときのワクワク感を大切にしてくださっているお気持ちが伝わってきました。また、コネクティングを利用されている方々の温かさや優しさを感じていただけているというお言葉は、私たちにとって何よりの励みです。安心して気持ちよく交流できる場所であり続けられるよう、これからも丁寧に運営してまいります。これからもたくさんの素敵な出会いと発見がありますように。応援しています😊 コネクティング ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-07-13* Very good **Developer response:** Hi anthonyluu22!
