### 3/5 — Is this a dating app?

*2026-01-27, version 3.4.1*

Pictures of users are too personal and nothing professional. Not recommended if you’re looking for a serious adult conversation. It is perfectly fine if you want to “date” someone or chatting

### 2/5 — Facebook

*2026-01-04, version 3.4.1*

I can’t register, nothing works no Facebook no apple, fix it

### 2/5 — I saw the vision but it didn’t work out

*2025-11-10, version 3.4.1*

I deleted the app because too many accounts were last seen active months ago. It seemed like people either stopped using the app and the one that were there were looking for a relationship.

### 2/5 — Fasil

*2025-07-22, version 3.4.1*

Not login my speaky account pls solve me

### 1/5 — About username

*2025-06-06, version 3.3.5*

1. Why don't u tell me the username cannot be changed when I was asked to type it? And if it cannot be changed, it should be called ”ID”, not ”USERNAME”!
2. Doesn't support non-English username is hilarious for an language learning APP.

### 1/5 — the update killed it

*2025-06-05, version 3.3.5*

if before the last grand update it was a bad app, now it has become useless. just a bad copy of Tandem

### 1/5 — App disconnecting issue

*2025-06-01, version 3.3.5*

This app periodically disconnects and opens at log in screen. When logging in it says there is a problem and doesn’t recognise log in details. Eventually log in. This time though the app has disconnected and wants me to re-register. The DOB drop down doesn’t work and defaults to 1 June 2007. 

Why does the app force log out like this? Is it a security thing? If so why not simplify the process.

### 2/5 — My rate

*2025-05-29, version 3.3.5*

اغبى تطبيق بالحياه دولتي سوت خير يوم حذفته من الاب ستور واتمنى عقبال ماينحذف كليًا + فكرته رهيبه انك تمارس اللغة اللي تبي تتعلمها بس مع المعتوهين اللي فيه الموضوع شبه مستحيل ياليت يشوفون حل معهم والمصيبه ثلاث ارباعهم عرب الله يقطعهم صدق 
Badddddd appppppp

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2024-05-21, version 3.2.6*

Es una app creada para aprende idiomas, pero no es así, la mayoría de personas no quieren eso, se interesan por otras cosas e incluso engañan y estafan.

### 1/5 — Sign up doesn't work

*2024-05-15, version 3.2.6*

Going past sign up doesn't work on the app or the web

### 1/5 — Scammers everywhere

*2024-05-14, version 3.2.6*

Full of people trying to take your personal info and money with multi accounts and sometimes different names, happened to me with at least 10 conversations…

### 1/5 — Pésima App

*2024-05-13, version 3.2.6*

No puedo establecer mi contraseña

### 1/5 — Perfiles falsos 90%

*2024-05-12, version 3.2.6*

El 90% son perfiles falsos, gente tratando de timarte con “negocios” invitandote a hablar con ellos por Telegram para no dejar rastro. 

Esta no es una aplicación que recomiende.

### 1/5 — Warning to normal person!!!!

*2024-05-10, version 3.2.6*

If you’re looking to exchange language partners or have a normal conversation with a normal person then don’t waste even one second on this platform, because there are a bunch of male perverts who like to show their private parts and also a lot of male frauds as well. I just uninstalled this app after playing it for just one hour.

### 1/5 — What.

*2024-04-29, version 3.2.6*

This app is very dangerous for young girls, especially teens. It’s just grown men asking for pictures and saying inappropriate comments, when you don’t respond they get angry at you, they hardly want to learn any languages, some might talk to you for a bit and start flirting with you, a 32 YEAR OLD asked me, an 18 year old, if he can sleep with me, what the heck? And like 12 others did the same thing. Only found TWO nice people on this app, one just talked about homeless people in America and they other just exchanged interest, if you are a teen girl, PLEASE stay away from this app, get hellotalk or something, or just find friends somewhere else. BUT PLEASE stay away from here. Case closed💪🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏 btw I love Tyler the creator ykwim?

### 1/5 — Pessima

*2024-04-25, version 3.2.6*

Servizio clienti inesistenti. Non funziona il recupero password e i filtri non sono in entrata ma solo in uscita

### 2/5 — no one

*2024-04-24, version 3.2.6*

no one is online except spam which doesn’t matter

### 1/5 — nah

*2026-04-24, version 3.5.6*

i love when apps try to invade my privacy with dystopian big-brother id verification and THEN proceed to throw up error after error during registration. maybe focus on making an app that works instead bc this aint it

### 1/5 — I cannot log in！！

*2026-02-22, version 3.4.1*

I'm a Chinese user. I don know why I can‘t log in！Is it a bug？I have so many friends in it. I really don't want to lose my friends. Where are the staff？ Please I want to use this app😭😭请修复好这个软件，我希望我能登录进去！

### 1/5 — Not logging in

*2026-02-05, version 3.4.1*

Is this app working? I cant sign in

### 1/5 — It’s broken

*2026-01-12, version 3.4.1*

I really want to use the app but it crashes when I’m trying to select my native language. I can’t get past the set up.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-11-20, version 3.4.1*

I cannot even login

### 1/5 — I’m blocked

*2025-08-22, version 3.4.1*

I had been using this app for months but the last time I wanted log in, I couldn’t. Then I checked the website of the app and saw that I had been blocked by the app. I hope they’ll figure this out soon because I was enjoying using the app.

### 1/5 — Truth

*2025-08-20, version 3.4.1*

Very useless app. You say it works but still doesn’t work. Stop lying!!

### 1/5 — Keep shutting down

*2025-07-27, version 3.4.1*

I’m new n trying to adding some info abt myself, once I click my native language, it shuts down.

### 1/5 — Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

*2025-07-13, version 3.3.6*

The application doesn't work for me. It was excellent before. I don't know what happened after the last update.

### 1/5 — Erreur persistante lors de la création du compte

*2025-07-03, version 3.3.6*

J’ai téléchargé speaky pour améliorer mon anglais, mais je n’ai jamais pu créer un compte.
J’ai essayé toutes les options proposées (email, Facebook, Apple) à plusieurs reprises, sur plusieurs jours, et ça ne fonctionne toujours pas. Le message est toujours le même : “Une erreur s’est produite, veuillez réessayer.”

J’ai aussi redémarré mon téléphone, changé de connexion, réinstallé l’app… rien n’y fait.

C’est vraiment frustrant, surtout quand on est motivé à progresser. Aucune aide, aucun message clair du support.

Si rien ne change, je désinstallerai l’application. Dommage, car le concept me semblait très intéressant.

### 5/5 — The best app

*2026-07-26, version 3.5.7*

To learn a new language

### 5/5 — Love the new update!

*2026-02-23, version 3.4.1*

I’m sooo glad they decided to update the app! This was always the best app back in the day. I met lifelong friends on here during the pandemic, and I’m ecstatic it’s back! Everyone, redownload it! Speaky is back!!!

### 5/5 — Was ist passiert?

*2025-09-21, version 3.4.1*

Das war die beste App der Welt. Ich habe Menschen aus der ganzen Welt kennengelernt. Im Juni 2025 gab es ein großes Update und seitdem ist die App leider tot und alle sind offline. Ändert bitte den Suchfilter wieder um!!!

### 5/5 — Funciona como corresponde

*2023-09-12, version 3.0.9*

Cumple su cometido, contactar con personas de otros paises etc etc, es solo un chat, pero es normal que te contacten la mayoria chicas.solo de estados unidos.. y que hablan como 6 idiomas? Ademas de fotos de modelos que parecen sacadas de google? 😂 hay muchos estafadores

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2023-08-25, version 3.0.9*

Não estou recebendo mensagem

### 5/5 — EXELENTE APLICACIÓN

*2023-01-16, version 2.1.0*

Me encantó Speaky, pero sugiero que actualicen y tenga la posibilidad de subir más fotos en nuestro perfil. 
También agreguen la herramienta de traducción de voz a voz, de voz a texto y de texto a voz.
Espero que tomen en consideración mi petición, muchas gracias.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2022-07-11, version 2.0.3*

Guys I’m gonna be honest this app is very useful if you’re looking to learn or improve your language I mean it will definitely help you with that, besides you can communicate with strangers from all over the world and make friends…just download it and enjoy your time ✅❤️

### 5/5 — Pretty good app!

*2022-06-16, version 2.0.3*

I’ve been using this since 2019 and met a LOT of new friends here, it’s an awesome app for learning new languages but there is the fair share of perverts. Also it would be perfect if developers could pay more attention to this app and fix bugs because it has huge potential!

### 5/5 — Yass_ckc
