this app ended up being much better than I even thought it ever would. I was just kind of looking for things to do. it started out being really awkward but after you rip off the Band-Aid and do a few, it's much easier than you think it's going to be, especially with all the supplemental tools. and I really feel like I'm learning and thinking in French automatically. so much faster than doing the same amount of time on Duolingo or whatever. and I say that as somebody w/ a 500 streak

I'm a pro member who is learning Portuguese and I posted earlier about not being able to search for other language learners. Tandem reached out and the problem has been fixed so I am revising my review. In general, I enjoy the app and find it useful, though it can be a little buggy at times (the translation feature sometimes doesn't work, for instance.)

not sure what they've done, but it's horrible now. chats don't load, messages don't send or if they do, they are sent out of order. it's very annoying and has made it unusable. and I have the paid version! I can't imagine how much worse it would be for the free users 😤😡 I've been using tandem for like 8 years and this has finally made me write a review

Hi I love this app, but as a free user, PLEASE change the ad feature!! I don't care about ads, but there is an ad every 2 seconds that I can't even click around the app because it keeps taking me to the ad sites. If you don't you will just keep losing more users!! we hate this feature. Make the ads less pop up and taking over the whole screen please. My phone should not feel like timessquare. it also slows down the app too

Tandem is good in comparison to other apps like Hello Talk. the reason is because there is less noise & distracting graphics popping up on your phone screen. Tandem feels fluid and professional. the only downside is that most people here are learning English or Spanish. there aren't many Asian languages being learned or taught in the public voice rooms.
