    It’s really a shame I literally just started using the app an hour ago, and someone reported me for impersonating MYSELF. I’m hoping support will unlock my account soon. Otherwise I will be requesting a refund on the subscription. If they unlock me I will change my review
  • creeps are on there

    If you’re a pretty girl DO NOT PUT YOUR PIC AS YOUR PFP. A bunch of catfishing happens on there. Scammers. And men just hounding you to reply back to them. I’m going to change my pfp to a man at this point.

    Now everything is blocked and its more difficult to connect with people. The app sold out and it was much better in 2018. VIP membership is now very expensive

    I already tried talking to them on the app but they just said that you have the unofficial version which doesn't make sense because this I the only version I see and still can't type. All it says when I try to type is "you temporarily can't text" or something like that. I tried ther tips like deleting the app and re downloading it but it still doesn't work so idk what's going on.

    The app itself is highly polished and very good. I had been using for an extended period of time to learn mandarin. However one evening my account was banned seemingly out of the blue for violating TOS or someone reporting my account. When i reached out to contact HelloTalk support i got no response and am really disappointed.
  • Great App! But Beware of Settings

    Notes for Devlopers: - Great app! Motivated me to learn Japanese better than how I was before - Possibly autoselect "Exact Language Match" for users at first? This is so it isn't so jarring for new users when they recieve DMs from unexpected people. I wasn't aware of this setting until I found it and I was very happy I did so I could stop the creepy DMs I got from people I wasn't expecting to interact with. - Reprogram the "Show City" location. I have the "Update Location" setting off because I don't want people to see exactly where I am, but I want people to see what city I'm in, generally cities recognizable overseas (DC, New York, LA, Seattle, etc) so I have that setting on. However, it seems that the city setting applies to towns, which scared me because I felt like it was doxing myself. I think it would be better for the safety of users to make the "Show City" setting to what metropolitan city they're closest to, instead if what town they are in, so people have a general idea of where they are, but not specifically. Makes it safer for interaction, and easier for people to relate to the area. - Possibly insert an autocorrect feature so it is less awkward for the other user to correct the user, so it's easier for the other user to understand what the user is trying to say in their learning language, and so the user can learn better from immediate feedback. This autocorrect feature within the app could highlight a sentence the user inserted and propose a better sentence about the sentence that could be improved. The user could tap on the proposed sentence to replace their old sentence, or continue typing and ignore the proposed sentence. - Just an add on, but maybe add a set of information on the user's learning language's culture so the user can begin to learn what is acceptable to say or phrase and what is not for their learning language. Encourages respectfulness of different cultures! These are my thoughts after a week straight of using the app. It's very motivational for the user who is learning a new language! Would recommend to anyone learning a new language, but with the setting adjustments I mentioned earlier.
  • Would be 5 stars, without Scammers

    Scammers are ruining your app! I have met some really friendly people on this app who are serious about learning and are great language partners and friends. But THE HUGE NUMBER OF SCAMMERS ON THIS APP MAKES ME WANT TO DELETE IT! There are great features, and it would be one of my favorite apps, if it weren't for all the fake profiles and guys trying to hook-up. IT'S NOT A DATING APP, but it's treated that way. (LOL maybe you should pivot and ride that wave!) Also, the feature I hate the most is that you can only block 5 people per day. I get 20+ scam messages a day. It's getting overwhelming. Unfortunately, I will probably delete it soon.
