Scam you when you teach they never pay. Be Aware! ### 1/5 — No help *2017-11-05, version 4.3.0* No help ### 1/5 — Do not use *2017-01-06, version 2.4.1* Waste of time ### 1/5 — University not listed then no registeration *2016-07-25, version 2.2.2* Could not get my university registered as it is not listed in their database and so ended up not signing up ### 1/5 — No Way To Sign Up *2016-06-09, version 2.1* If you do not go to a school on their list they will not register you. The verification code comes in hours after pressing the button. Some of the "Submit" buttons do not work. Hard to use and frustrating. Never really got a chance to teach anyone and error messages are in Chinese. ### 1/5 — No one for Management? iSkoll *2016-02-28, version 1.1* I downloaded the app hoping to be able to sign up and start, but they have to verify you. Ok sounds good Apply, (Bug 1: Lets you apply multiple times after clicking submit Not with same info) then says they'll let you know (Bug 2: No notification system so you never know if you been approved or declined then goes back to bug 1: apply again if they didnt get your submission?) I dont think anyones on the other side to click verify on your thing so not worth downloading.. ### 1/5 — Can't get registered *2016-02-18, version 1.0* To register, it requires a verification code. I've clicked it a thousand times and it doesn't do anything. The link to app support goes to a dead page. Also, you need to be an Ivy League student to register. ### 1/5 — False advertisement? *2016-02-06, version 1.0* The marketing image/screenshot shows a person with 4.5 hours of teaching and $112.00 payment, giving the impression of a $24.89/hr rate, while the actually rate is $12/hr. Not sure if intentional, but obviously misleading. ### 2/5 — Crash *2017-02-12, version 4.0.0* Crashes a lot! I couldn't even sign up ### 3/5 — Need update *2017-05-24, version 4.1.1* The app is good and has the potential to be very good and successful but you should update it regularly. Watching/downloading videos is very slow although I was standing next to my Internet router. There is bag with uploading audio record of session and leaving feedback for student because it is saying "Access error" so you don't know if the comment is applied or not. Another huge problem is chat or inbox. The messages are disappearing and it is very slow. You could implement "seen" sign or somehing. Thank you. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great way to make some extra money *2016-03-31, version 1.5.1* A great way to make some money on the side ### 5/5 — Great app for students! *2016-03-30, version 1.5.1* Fun, interactive app ### 5/5 — Fun, great app design! *2016-03-30, version 1.5.1* This app is very well designed and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Fun, easy and rewarding way to earn some extra cash! *2016-03-13, version 1.2* NativeTalk is a really thoughtfully developed application from like no other in the language speaking category. It is very intuitive, easy for both students and teachers to use. This is because of the content matter and subject categories it has to help guide the conversations. It gives you confidence, if you have never had experience with talking to a foreign person before. I find myself talking hours upon hours and having a fun time while doing so. Not only am I getting paid the best rate there is for these kinds of apps, I'm also learning about new cultures and making a positive difference in someone else's life. A perfect app for someone who has some down time each day and wants to earn good money! ### 5/5 — Fun and easy but with some small problems *2016-03-09, version 1.1* Pros: fun and easy way to make some money, and 2) easy registration (but you have to belong to one of their "target" universities) Cons: there are some characters in Chinese which I can't understand; app shuts down occasionally ### 5/5 — Great!! *2016-03-08, version 1.1* Nativetalk is a great app. I would say that it's an easy way to make some money, though there are a couple of small changes that could make the app run more efficiently. Nonetheless, the company is off to a great start and I'm looking forward to continuing to use it. ### 4/5 — Current version not working *2016-03-15, version 1.2* Very eager to try this app out as a tutor. However, ever since updating to the latest version, the app crashes a couple seconds after I open it. Hope this will be sorted soon so I can give this a try! ### 3/5 — Can't load videos *2016-08-08, version 2.2.3* Unable to load intro video and training tips video. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
