However I’ve been through ton of scammers :( But, do enjoy the worldwide perspective. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Not the best but … *2026-01-27, version 2.4.6* This app isn’t the best app to learn language people here search for relationship so. If u looking for learn u will lose time. But if u are here to just expende time and talk yes is a good one ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2026-01-09, version 2.4.5* I have been on it since 2013 and back then it was filled with mostly real people and interesting conversations. Now the app is clunky, filled with bugs, rampant with scam and fake accounts and the auto moderation system suspends real accounts whilst it allows the scams to go unabated. This place has potential and it used to shine as a way to meet people from around the world and learn language, but it falls short of the standard now and has for years. What a shame. ### 1/5 — Scammer heaven *2026-01-08, version 2.4.5* If you are trying to find legitimate people to just be friends, this is not the site. It is filled with scammers using other people’s pictures. Beware ### 1/5 — Broken half the time *2026-01-07, version 2.4.5* I never write reviews this might be my first ever on the app store but this app is good when it works but is broken at times, my old account got banned for suspicious activity because I logged in on a computer on they’re website and customer support is non existent, now I have a bug where when I open the app I can’t close the ad and it’s constantly a loading sign where the x normally is no matter is I fully close the app and restart it still broken, the program feels old like it was made in 2014 and never updated ### 2/5 — Don’t work *2025-12-28* It is impossible to register. A waste of time ### 1/5 — Sucks *2025-12-23, version 2.4.5* It used to be a great website/app. Now you get suspended for no reason. Created two accounts, suspended on first day each by auto mode “spam” which is absurd ### 1/5 — Account suspended right after creating it? *2025-12-21, version 2.4.5* How’s it possible to create an account when it gets suspended 5 minutes later for NO reason??? ### 1/5 — Заблокировали аккаунт *2025-12-19* Заблокировали аккаунт ни за что ### 1/5 — Unsafe *2025-12-17, version 2.4.5* This app is full of scammers and fake accounts it’s unsafe I reported the accounts and my account got suspended ### 1/5 — Скройте недоступных пользователей *2025-12-14, version 2.4.5* 90% пользователей «Access denied due to target user's filters». Зачем их вообще показывать? Чтобы что? Получать ошибку каждый раз, когда хочешь кому-то лайк поставить? ### 2/5 — Miserable interface *2025-12-13, version 2.4.5* This is one of the most annoying apps and webpages I’ve ever used. Between zooming and scrolling and getting stuck in text boxes and no words appearing in some received messages.. and no matter how many times I turn the notifications off, bc it bothers my ocd, they keep notifying me. You don’t touch a message it opens anyway. ### 3/5 — Bien mais *2025-12-12* L’application ne réagis pas lors des recherches d’utilisateurs je peux pas cliquer (iPhone 12 mini) Sinon belle application ### 1/5 — Fake!!!! *2025-12-11, version 2.4.5* It is the worst app to chat I have never seen , absolutely Fake !!!! ### 1/5 — Rezillik *2025-12-10, version 2.4.5* Hiç bir işe yaramayan çok rezil bir uygulama ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t send friend requests *2026-08-03, version 2.6.1* Literally nobody lets you even request them as a friend. There’s no point to this app. ### 1/5 — A problem while using the app *2026-07-19, version 2.6.1* I’m not even able to use this app anymore and whenever i try to enter it crashes i guess it needs and update as soon as possible ### 1/5 — notification badge *2026-06-30, version 2.6.0* The notification badge has been there for ages, and you still haven’t fixed this simple issue. It’s unbelievable that you’re still shipping an app with bugs like this. ### 1/5 — что вы несете *2026-06-26* уже 2 аккаунт банят из-за "подозрительной активности". не понятно на сколько, не понятно что именно я не так сделала. я буквально немного с 1 человеком поговорила и все. ужас, а не приложение ~ **Developer response:** Извините. Блокировка без понятного объяснения и срока выглядит несправедливо. Напишите на support@interpals.net с именем пользователя, мы посмотрим, что сработало, и ответим. ### 1/5 — The app concept is great but people suck *2026-05-24, version 2.4.9* The app is great per se, being able to meet people and learn languages is great but the problem is the people, using fake EVERYTHING I don't know why, I don't know what's the point of being fake but that's what ruin this whole app unfortunately, the fact that people has a fast track to be fake and mediocre is insane to me. I have been using it for a month and I haven't met ANYBODY genuine whatsoever. It sucks, such a waste of time and energy. There is also a lot of creeps, pervs, incels, just miserable men. Nobody is serious for any type of conversation, no language learning nor cultural exchange. Nothing. It sucks. ### 1/5 — sucks *2026-05-20, version 2.4.9* Account got deleted tried to reactivate it, but wasn’t allowed tried contacting support multiple times no answer. ### 1/5 — Burn in hell! *2026-04-19* These disgraceful clowns block the real accounts without reason, and support ignores all requests. But they don't block scammers and pervs! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-04-09, version 2.4.6* I have found one good friend here. But he’s the needle in the haystack. For the most part, it’s chock-full of scammers, perverts, and “nice guys.” ### 1/5 — Looks like Facebook *2026-04-01, version 2.4.6* Awful ### 1/5 — The app is full of scammers, grapiest, and sexual harassers *2026-02-26, version 2.4.6* I have been on this app for a while this person has been continuously harassing me I’ve ignored their messages and haven’t responded I reported them yet I got the violation while they are allowing other to be harrased this is supposed to be friends yet this dude can say how he’s going to force things upon me and I reported it but I get the violation this isn’t the greatest app as it’s full of scammers, grapiest, and sexual harassers ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-07-22* I'm completely satisfied with the application. There are two wishes: 1. Make the interface more modern. 2.If possible, make mini-diaries, with the ability to post videos and links to other resources in them. There are people who like to write about themselves :) ### 5/5 — Incredible App *2026-03-17, version 2.4.6* I joined Interpals a couple years ago and since then I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience. You get to meet amazing people from all over the world and for completely free!. No chat limits, no forced advertisements. This app is a combination of the best elements from all the other apps of the similar nature. I strongly recommend! ### 5/5 — 펜팔어플추천 *2025-12-09, version 2.4.5* 처음 펜팔하시면 추천드립니다 그리고 스캠조심하세요 ### 5/5 — It’s so good and interesting *2025-11-12, version 2.4.3* It’s so good and interesting ### 5/5 — Really nice app *2025-10-17, version 2.4.3* Easily to find someone who interested in your culture and exchange language! ### 5/5 — Я очень благодарен *2025-10-11, version 2.4.3* Зарегестрировался будучи 10классником, теперь оканчиваю 4 курс и до сих пор пользуюсь. Это отличная платформа для общения с иностранцами, и я очень рад, что есть мобильное приложение (оно правда редко, но несущественно заедает, но это ничего). Поскольку эта платформа не отличается особой строгостью, там много невежд, грубиянов и тд., зато все бесплатно, быстро и удобно . Я нашел хороших друзей из Европы. Насколько мне известно лучше этой платформы не изобрели пока что. Есть еще globalpenfriends.com, там все гораздо строже и безопаснее (у кого есть такой запрос), но там сильные ограничения по отправке сообщений, и не слишком хорошо продумана процедура общения. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-09-02, version 2.4.1* Great software 👍 ### 5/5 — Kocamı buradan buldum, teşekkürler *2025-08-02, version 2.3.24* İngilizcemi geliştireyim diye indirmiştim, yanlışlıkla koca buldum, hatta şimdi 2 çocuğumun babası, teşekkürler Interpals 😂😅🤍 ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-06-15, version 2.3.23* I can have a lot of friend around the world ### 5/5 — InterPals *2025-05-20, version 2.3.22* Приложение удобное и понятное --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
