When I try to upload my profile picture from camera roll or photo albums, it doesn’t work. And I have no idea why they do not just fix it lol. Lazy much? ### 2/5 — Great idea but *2019-02-26, version 3.3.8* The reason I left 2 stars is because I can’t do anything in it. I would really love to use the app to practice the languages I am learning but it doesn't even let me create an account. Every time I type my description and pick the languages I know everything disappears. If I click on save it tells me that I need to have all my information in. But the app doesn’t let me. It keeps resetting. ### 3/5 — Okie Dokie *2017-06-26, version 3.3.6* Hi, for anyone looking for a language exchange app this is definitely a place where you can find people to talk to, I found a couple of good language partners and have already learned a lot. However, if you're set on speaking and talking and learning with on the language/languages you came for, know that your profile is visible to everyone and it's likely that people not even interested in what you're there to learn will message you. ALSO, for all minors + anyone who may get uncomfortable, even though this is not a dating app people will message and flirt with you, that's just how life works no one ever follows the rules on these apps haha, but why I'm concerned is please stay cautious of people much older than you trying to flirt, stay safe! ### 3/5 — Started off great but now there are some glitches. *2017-06-05, version 3.3.5* This app was great and can still be great. The translation feature stopped work a few weeks ago (Though to be honest it was not that great, Google is better and Google is only 85% accurate). Now before I type every message it says "Problem with the translation service. Try again later." My guess is that the developers want you to rate the app and added the "Problem with the translation service. Try again later" and stopped the free translations until I rated the app so LMK if anyone else experienced the same thing. I will update my rating if the problems go away after posting this review. ### 1/5 — Not social *2017-04-09, version 3.3.5* Only people looking to date. Not a busy social atmosphere. Low activity. Individuals aren't interested in learning. ### 2/5 — Good concept but very poor functionality *2017-03-19, version 3.3.3* This app is very basic. The concept is great however, in that it lets you find people who are learning a language on a map. In the 5 months I've had it, it has been updated just once, and that was to include an option to send pictures. The interface pretty colourful and basic. The chat rooms are not monitored so there are spam and random conversations. I really like the idea of the map that shows where the users are but this app itself is not good. After three months since Iast used it, when I message a person, it says there is an error. This error doesn't happen for every chat conversation I have. ### 1/5 — Great concept, terrible user interface. *2017-03-15, version 3.3.3* Sorry have to delete it ### 3/5 — Doesn't even show the correct flags *2016-12-07, version 3.3* Why on earth would it show a North Korean flag instead of a South Korean one. And for French, it's showing a Canadian flag?!?! Come on developers. You can do better than that! And I don't appreciate the accuracy of the location system. This is just a stalker's nightmare waiting to happen. ### 4/5 — Rated it 4 stars because don't know much about it yet *2016-12-04, version 3.3* Pretty good. Doesn't cost anything, no glitches yet. The people are nice and you get active people. I would highly recommend it! ## Frequently asked questions about Lext Talk ### What is Lext Talk?
