Read full descriptionHide full description
Beyond language, meet people and culture LingoBridge is where a language exchange turns into sharing a culture. We put our effort into showing you the right people, not just more people. ■ Matched by level and purpose We suggest people by CEFR level (A1–C2), what you are here for, and your interests and style. Not by age or postcode alone. · Language exchange — someone whose learning and teaching languages fit yours · Culture guide — a neighbourhood as the people who live there tell it · Dating — only when both of you are here for the same thing Not sure of your level? Five questions will place you. ■ Local Restaurants, cafés and spots posted by the people who actually live there. Not a tourist guide — the places they really go. Browse as a list or on the map, and save the ones you want. ■ Anonymous board A place for the things that are hard to put your name to. Posts go up anonymously; comments carry your nickname. ■ The app handles the language barrier Chats, profiles and posts are translated with DeepL. When the text is already in a language you read, the translate button disappears entirely. If a translation reads wrong, you can tell us right there. The app itself is available in 한국어, English, 中文, Tiếng Việt, Français, 日本語 and Español. ■ Safety comes first · Adults only, 19 and over. Users in Korea verify by mobile identity check; users abroad verify with passport details. · Profile photos pass an automatic AI review, then an admin check. Photos posted to Local and the anonymous board are reviewed by an admin. · A banned-word filter applies to chats and posts. · An account reported by three different users is suspended while we look into it. · Leave any conversation to clear it from your list, and block anyone you would rather not hear from. · Every conversation opens with a safety notice. ■ Passes and Lingo · Passes — chatting needs a pass. Basic (chat) and Translation Plus (chat + translation + unlimited profile views) come as 1-day, 7-day or 30-day. Annual Premium (translation + unlimited profile views + VIP badge + top of the feed) runs 365 days. · Without a pass you can still browse people, read and write on Local and the anonymous board, and send likes. · Lingo — points for unlocking full profiles, match boosters, buying passes in the Lingo Store, and sending gifts in chat. They never expire, and they are forfeited if you delete your account. · You do not have to buy Lingo. You earn it for daily check-ins, completing your profile, identity verification, posting to Local, inviting a friend, your first conversation, and suggestions we adopt. · Payment and refunds are covered under [Refund Policy] inside the app. ■ Business information 마운틴브릿지 (Mountainbridge) · Representative: Kwon San Business registration 750-03-03520 Mail-order sales 2025-Seoul Mapo-1800 Location-based service registration No. 1276 21-11, World Cup-ro 20-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, Korea support@lingobridge.cloud This service is classified in Korea as media harmful to youth and is available to adults aged 19 and over.

Flow finds you people worth talking to. Tell Flow what you're looking for — a coffee date, a running buddy, someone who gets your major, a co-founder — and it goes looking. No swiping through hundreds of faces. No writing a profile that reads like a resume. Just say what you want in plain words and let it match you. HOW IT WORKS Say it in your own words. "find me a running buddy." "anyone in Philly tonight?" "someone who can hold a conversation." Flow reads what you actually mean. Get matched with a real person. Flow introduces you both and gets the conversation started, so you're never staring at an empty chat box wondering what to open with. Talk. Then decide. Every match is a real conversation with a real person. If it clicks, keep going. If it doesn't, say the word and Flow finds someone new. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most apps hand you a grid and make you do the work. Flow does the looking for you. It learns what you like from how you actually talk — not from a checklist you filled out once and forgot. Matches come with an opener, so the first message is never the hard part. You can chat before you commit to anything. Look around first. WHAT YOU CAN USE IT FOR Dating, if that's what you're after. Friendship, if it isn't. Study partners, gym partners, pickup basketball, someone who misses home as much as you do, someone to explore a new city with. Set how far you're willing to go, who you'd like to meet, and the age range that makes sense for you. Flow is for people 18 and over. Questions? contact@helloflow.app
