it's a paid app and mostly reviews are paid
too bad app
people there are NOT learning languages.. their there because they wanted to date people, harass people, ragebait people, and ofc pdf files are there.. The moderation SUCKS. and i mean sucks because they dont even try to get rid of them permanently. Matter a fact theres no tutorial on the actual app so ur completely lost and its on your end to figure out stufff... so far this is the worst app for learning languages. (theres alot of idiots too btw so dont be surprised)
They're getting one star, because it is not free to send a chat to somebody
asks for money every time
This app is very bad; it blocked me for no reason and took my VIP balance worth $10, claiming I obtained it illegally. Here's the message: "Regarding the manual review, I want to clarify that all my assets, including the car (1200 coins), the cup (90 coins), and the 42 diamonds, were obtained through legitimate interactions and received as gifts from other users during my VIP membership. I have not used any illegal methods or exploits. These items are very important to me, and I kindly ask you t
Respected CEO u need to work on this because peoples can still use bad words in it so I will recommend that you must put a time limit on daily basis and immediate blocking system if found using bad word even in splitting. So genuine people can connect through each other. Not recommended for under 18. Request to work on this. Can also add a test system if failed, chatting right will be withdrawn. Thank you Your faithfully.
I'm a teenager, and I deleted the app because I saw a lot of revealing photos from users, which made me uncomfortable. I think the app should have better safety features for younger users, including a teen mode or stronger content controls.
if the app explicitly states that no content regarding flirting or porn is allowed then why is the first ad I see on this app a porn website ad?
I already shared my concerns, and your response was to report users. Reporting individual users doesn't solve the real problem. This app is full of people looking for dating, sex chats, or posting inappropriate content instead of language exchange. There are also many teenagers using this app, and this kind of content is not appropriate for them. Until moderation improves, I have no reason to change my rating.😑
I can't get any notification
I'm using form this app 3 weeks it I'm not got one person to chat also it is like fake account there I don't like this app
This app was a terrible experience for me. During sign-up, my birth date changed by a day, which made me question the age system. I was mostly matched with adults instead of people my age, making it hard to feel safe. I also came across what seemed like fake profiles, catfish accounts, and possible AI users. Overall, I didn't enjoy this app and wouldn't recommend it, especially to teens.
don't understand
they say its learning language app an that they don't allow numerous of things like nudes or any kind of that stuff but they allow it then play sides in who was in the wrong im very disappointed an your kids are not safe on this platform what so ever
if yo forget the main aim of the app as it's there in its name,then how will it go on? 1. please change the data storage policy, that whenever people reinstall it, do not have to suffer them with valuable chat disappearing. 2. the name of the app 'talkin', now earlier we had five free broadcasts, now three actually there is none, when we start any voice room not instantly all people come and join and the time becomes wasted. why are you reducing its core values that we loved the 1st time?
lol app
Dude this app sucks, its been like dyas and no one was willing to be friends with me all I did was greet and no one would reply back, am I that ugly? OMG also it would've been better if you had a custom age range of people so that you wouldn't have to talk to adults if you're a minor
it is too costly and non VIP time time limit is very less so I'm leaving this app and going other
it's almost good. what makes it so stupid is the fact some creepy guys can make lots of alt accounts and save your photos no matter how often u block or shield against them. as a minor, that even paid for subscription, I find it useful that I'm able to see who visited my profile but dang, I couldn't stop the same man from making lots of alt accounts and keep reappearing to me. why do you must allow people to save other people's photos? it sucks
....So many bad things happened, many guys were so weird and even liked underage people inappropriately🤮
I downloaded this app expecting it to help me learn languages, but instead my feed is filled with short videos of girls that are unrelated to language learning. This is disappointing and misleading. Please focus on educational content and improve the recommendation system so users see language learning material instead of irrelevant videos.
it's good, but people can be very weird, and it glitches for me, which takes longer to load, and a message pops up that says "host address unknown" constantly, and it's so annoying. it literally breaks the app when that happens too, which makes it unusable. Please fix this glitch. and everybody is older than me, so it's super hard to make friends, and some of them don't care that you're younger, which I find very weird...
forgot my id now I can't get it. any way I can get me ID
good, but girls show their bodies it is for chat, not for photos
to be honest people keep keep wanting to date me and I. don't like that 😭
