LangX matches you with people who speak the language you're learning and are learning the language you speak. No lessons, no homework — just real conversations with someone who needs exactly what you can offer. A new look. Home opens on what matters first: who is waiting for your reply, your streak and the Echo cards that are ready. Then Chats, Echo, People and Me. Matched both ways. You only see people whose languages fit yours in both directions, so every conversation has something in it for both of you. Correct each other. Tap any message to suggest a better way to say it. Corrections are unlimited for everyone, on every plan — teaching is the whole point. Translation when you're stuck. Built in, so you don't leave the chat. Voice and video calls. Call the people you chat with, free on every plan. A call rings like a phone call even when the app is closed, and one switch turns calls off. A camera in every chat. Tap for a photo, hold for a video, and pick a filter. Send it as View once, let them replay it once, or keep it in the chat. Echo keeps what you learn. Press and hold a message to add it to Echo, and it comes back for review: tomorrow, in three days, then in a week. Copilot, in beta. An AI helper in your chats: check a sentence before you send it, see how to say something in the language you're learning, get a message explained, or ask for reply ideas. Nothing is sent unless you send it. Copilot is in beta and rolling out gradually. A reason to come back. Keep a daily streak, earn tokens for talking and teaching, collect badges, see where you land on the weekly, monthly, yearly and all-time boards, and spend your tokens on sticker packs and profile frames. Free to use, always. Reply to every message you receive with no limits, and correct as many as you like. Every day the free plan gives you 5 new conversations and 20 translations. Photo and voice messages, up to 500 a day, and 10 profile photos are the same on every plan. LangX Pro is one plan with everything: • Unlimited new conversations • Unlimited translations • Gender and city filters • See who viewed your profile • Incognito browsing • Nearby: partners close to you • Up to 5 languages you learn and 5 you speak • Send in their language: write in yours, and both arrive • Export your saved phrases • A boosted profile in Discover • Nine more app icons Your first yearly subscription starts with a free week. Or get Pro for free. Invite three friends who start talking on LangX and you get a month of Pro. A 7-day streak earns you a week of Pro, a 100-day streak a month, a 365-day streak three.
