In general the idea is good. The matching system makes a lot of sense. BUT there are a lot of technical issues like chats disappearing. And the most annoying thing is super aggressive monetisation. Without paying the app is technically useless and the pricing is ridiculous if you consider what you could get at other similar apps. Very often without paying anything you get a much better experience. Out of the apps I used I can make speaky and hello talk as good examples....

It doesn't let you type any other social media platform in the chat, so it is limiting people to only communicate on Langmate. I had a good friend and conversation going on, and Langmate shut us down for no reason, and I lost this connection forever. I do not recommend using this to make friends or do language exchange. This app doesn't allow you to connect outside of it.

This app seem great, but there are too many UI bugs. Maybe it's on Android only... People cards suddenly stop appearing even though the app tells me there are more cards to show (and I am on a paid subscription account). I tried to reach out to support but I can't submit any tickets... The app keeps on asking me to use a captcha field before submitting that is nowhere to be found... It's frustrating. Without these UI glitches I would give stars.
