I used it a few years ago and it was pretty good but my Japanese wasn't advanced enough to really use the social media part of the app. Now that I've improved I really wanted to try it again. Now the app bombards me with popups and a little Caesars ad crashed the program. What was a useful app has been rendered almost unusable. It actually feels like one of those scam mobile games.

I’ve been a fan of HelloTalk for a while, but the recent changes in the app’s UI and features have been quite disappointing. One of the biggest frustrations is that regional search, which was once available to all users, has now been made a VIP-only feature. This is a crucial tool for finding language partners in specific countries or regions, and locking it behind a paywall feels like a money-grabbing move. 😔

This app is very good for learning new languages/improving language abilities. However, the only reason I put a 2 star was because of a problem I encountered. I deleted the app because I experienced a few problems that were related to my phone and not the app itself. But when I reinstalled the app, all my chats disappeared and are mot archived. Please, if you could, consider this problem. Thank you in advance
