User reviews

Too many ads

Overwhelmed with ads. Need frequency caps

Get rid of that takes feature!

Been suing the app for a long time, normally great but they introduced a takes feature that clutters up conversations, adds no value, and looks like phishing attempts

Close to being really great.

Most of the time connections with others are outstanding. One exception is it tries to translate to more popular word usage. This does not always help. It should only look for words in the language you want to learn. I rely on actual native speakers rather than the app for corrections.

Прекрасная тренировка в заучивании слов

Genuine feedback

EXCELLENT app.

I love the nonprofit organization, its goals, and its mission. While I understand the importance of financing the app and project, I do wish it were possible to add a little more benefits available to free users, particularly more translations (perhaps 10 max daily), as well as an option to make voice calls to practice pronunciation and speaking.

The Staff is EXCELLENT, DEDICATED, and HELPFUL. If I were richer id donate to this project
