Some "unfair" benefits for "pro" members

ReasonableAchuhucanac's Experience
I've been using it for around a year now, and I highly recommend it, you get to know a lot of nice people and build up some great friendships, the bad part is that you must pay a membership (ergo, be "pro"), in order to unlock some useful features, like being able to see who's visited your profile (most people who do it and don't talk back is because they're shy, so it would be great if that's available for free)

Limited access to built in translation tool can be counter productive for beginners
Limited access to built in translation tool, even though it is a google API that powers it, which as we all know is called google translate. I had to finish a conversation part way due to the limitation of the free version and using (said had translated to many times - WTF) the translation tool. Seems a little counter productive, especially if you are new to a language and sometimes both parties need the support to get off the ground.

Meet and chat to cultures all over the world - A proper global society
So much better than facebook instagram, able to share experiences, knowledge. Imagine how the worlds troubles could be resolved if you all understood one another more effectively, able to engage and understand culturally the differences that make us all different. This goes a lot further, as you are actively seeking to converse with people you other wise wouldn’t meet or have anything in common. In this case the thing we have in common is the will to engage and understand our weaknesses in this case the language barriers.

iPad version doesnt resize to landscape version only works in portrait mode
iPad Pro doesnt resize to landscape version because the app is made for mobile phones (which is great if you are on the move, but useless if you are studying).

Efficient
You're not just chatting with native speakers, you get to practice with their bot as well. There's also a vocabulary list that lets you store words from your chats--really helps with learning the language more.

The number of messages can get overwhelming
Because it is such an active community, you may find yourself getting 20+ messages an hour when you are online. It can quickly get overwhelming. However, there is a setting that allows you to hide your profile from search.

Free version has restricted search
On the free version, it won't let you change the language of the people you can search, though you can still access the profiles of other language speakers. For example, if they comment on a memory you made a comment on, you can access their profile through that. Even if you can still send them friend requests and chat with them, being able to just search for them would've been so much easier.

Allows you to share "memories" with the whole community
"Memories" act similar to a Twitter feed. You can post pictures, ask questions, or let the community know what kind of chat partner you are looking for (for example: maybe you want to discuss a specific topic with someone). You can "love", and comment on memories.

The interface is very intuitive/easy to use
Despite being feature-rich, the app is very easy to use. It provides a tutorial which you can revisit at any time if you can't remember what certain icons are. It has a very clean, uncluttered design.

Many scammers
Be careful as there are many false profiles trying to get romance. It may even take 1 year, they'll wait to get your trust in them ask money and got photos of you. So beware of scammers and do not share photos or video or send money with somebody that you don't know in real life
