Ultimate Language App
I’ve been using this app for many years. I wanted to learn Japanese around 2018 and I started using this app around 2019. There was a lot of words and phrases I was able to learn with the help of many Japanese people on this app while at the same time, teaching English to other users of the app. I’d say this is probably one of the best apps to use when learning another language & I highly recommend it! I’ll close this by saying to those who are wanting to learn other languages like me, good luck to all of you!

Deceptive premium
This app does not inform the user that a premium account is required to use it before they sign up. I would have been willing to pay if I had been informed ahead of time that premium is mandatory for access. But because the owners decided to play a nasty psychological trick instead of being honest upfront I will be taking my business elsewhere. Don’t play games with your customers.
