In general it's a good app, but the recent increase in ads almost makes it unbearable. Standard features like in app translations have also reduced to only a few daily before you're hit with another ad. I get it, you need to make money, but this will push users away from the app. Edit:Downgraded to 2 stars. I just tried joining a language party but every time I click to join I have to sit through a bunch of adds, after which I'm not even in the room so I have to click it again. 4 times in a row

My god, the app idea is actually quite nice but there's sooo many bugs in this app that it becomes borderline unusable. On the new update you are basically required to view an advertisement which I can understand, but after viewing it you won't actually join the party. Nothing happens. And don't get me started on the bugs that have existed for a long time already

This app offers the possibility to connect with people from around the world to practice/learn a new language. However, a big chunk of the profiles seem to be bots. Whether, it is good or bad depends on if you can make the effort to connect with others. The free version kind of feels like a dodgy website as it is wrapped in adverts. As for the paid version for $48 cad/year is too much for me. I used the paid version for 1 year but if it is dropped to $30 cad/year, I might purchase it again.

What’s new

We’ve made a list and we’ve checked it twice - those bugs are definitely going on the naughty list! This release means a smoother performance to make sure your language learning experience is as joyful as your Christmas morning!
