Great Learning app but..
It was an amazing app up until they removed the live stream feature. After it was said that they were going to remove it, the app was useless to me. I’ve learned Japanese with this app & it was very fun meeting all the new people and interacting with them and also streaming myself speaking with natives & it was all thanks to the live stream. I understand that they couldn’t keep up with the events they were having but they don’t need to have competitions for us to learn and have fun on the app. Bring back live streaming and the app will be 100% better than what it is now. Until then, I’ll stick to my 1 star review.

Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. New registrants must subscribe to our premium plan to use the app. We would appreciate it if you signed up for a free trial of Premium and experienced our app. If you don’t want the Premium subscription, canceling before the last day of your trial will prevent any charges. We appreciate your understanding.
I didn’t even get to look around.
Yes, they offer a free 1 week trial of their app, but I didn’t even get to look around to see if the app is for me before having a subscription shoved in my face. I love the idea of this app, being able to learn from native speakers. I just wish there was a “free” version where I could at least read other’s questions and learn from those, even if I myself don’t get to ask a question on the “free” version. Heck I can’t even go in to cancel / shut down my account without subscribing.

Trash. Don’t bother with this app.
I just made an account and there’s an inescapable popup that says “Premium registration is required to use HiNative”.
It’s not even usable without paying. Now they have my email and there’s not even a way for me to delete my account without signing up for a trial of premium. Waste of time.

Availability Issues
Edit: thank you for the developer response. I find the app SUPER helpful; I wouldnt complain of availability if I didn’t like the app so much :)
Not sure what happened in the last week or so, but the mobile AND browser app are seeing serious slowness, timeouts, and general lack of availability, with lots of pop-up errors in both UIs. Is there any plan to fix this?
