Why tandem sucks
Years ago I used tandem and it was a great learning app. Now, this is an app for people looking for relationships. Nothing against looking for love, but the app was/is marketed as a language learning app. In my experience, unless your language partner is a the same sex and not gay, then your language practice will be a cluster of people looking for love or whatever. As soon as you say I’m just wanting to practice language, and not plan a trip meetup or speak on another platform, they will rapidly lose interest and cancel meets. But that is normal on this site. If you want a international Tinder this is it, but if you are a person just trying to increase language skills conversation exchange is a far better site

Ghost app
No people here. Bad UI and lots of issues.
It’s dead (not like how it used to be)
When I first joined this app 5 years ago, it was easy to connect with people. Also you could add multiple languages on your account for free to make even more friends, it was really a fun experience. Now times had changed, I rejoined the app recently and it’s now only set to one language per day unless you pay for their premium; no way I’m paying $15 a month. Plus, the whole app feels dead now, nobody replies let alone be active, and some of the users that are active are using it as a dating app and not there to exchange languages. Tandem please do better, I miss the old you.

You will get charged for a free trial
I had a 7 day free trial. Got charged for a month of the pro a day after downloading. Never again!
Не открываются аудио клубы
Не открываются вообще чаты общие с людьми, хочется пообщаться а он постоянно пишет «ошибка попробуйте позже» уже второй день так, при этом чатиться могу
No developer or employee
No one has got back to me since I left a review on here.
They will close your account and take your money
They locked me out of one account, and then I made a new one, paid the year membership, and they applied it to the account that they won’t let me have access to? Not sure how that happened

I love this app so much! I wish you could set it too like ages 13+ or so though.
Parfait pour trouver des correspondant.es linguistique
J’ai déjà rencontré des personnes du monde entier partageant le même intérêt d’apprendre une nouvelle langue. Je recommande vivement!
BugStore
They are intentionally trying to sell you the premium by creating you many difficulties. One of the most frustrating experiences I had. Junkyard.
Ужас
Зарегистрировалась, прошла неделя, всё ещё не активировали профиль, ужасно работают
No option less than 1 star
Racist people are allowed to spread hate
Best app i have ever used
What should i say just wanna say it is the best of all time♥️
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.
Игры
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

bye.
从2019到2026。也是时候说再见了。这不是一个happy ending，而是一个bad ending。有些闲人或小心眼hater爱举报也是很恶心了。我最珍贵的回忆是在19-24年的疫情期，也算是青春了。感觉这个软件越来越严格和保守😅。可能自从2025年初，非会员降权只能选一门语言开始，就已经是终点了。👋🏻
It’s improved
I’ve been a regular Tandem user since 2016.
There are a lot of pluses and minuses, especially if you compare the current version with the original version.
In Old Tandem, you could learn eight languages at once, and switch languages as often as you wanted.
Now you can only learn one language at a time and you have to wait 24 hours to switch languages.
It’s cool because you can connect with people from all over the world. I made friendships in 2016 and 2017 that I still maintain today.
Attempting to date other Tandem users is strictly prohibited, so the quality of the atmosphere is very good.
There was a period when the app wasn’t working at all but they fixed a lot of bugs and now it works a lot better.
