Since you can't even do basic filtering according to country, ethnicity, or age, (without paying $50), this invalidated the app as a free option. They've gotten blinded by the prospect of nickel & diming their users, resulting in a digital ghost town. All you can do for free, is scroll down a default, unfiltered listing until you find a potential exchange partner, only to never get a response, because they moved on after seeing the ridiculous price needed to unlock basic functionality. Avoid.

This application is incredibly useful for learning languages from native speakers. You have options to save phrases and you can always check them when you want. You can choose the target language (only one without in app purchase) and talk every day with up to 10 new people. You can take a certificate test to prove your fluency and get recommendations from the community. It also offers instant translations (a few per day). Furthermore all people I have met are very friendly and helpful.

Well, the app is good and I've been using Tandem since 2020. Now the problem is: many ads and offers to get Pro once again started appearing, often. Please, fix this. It's like I'm being forced to pay Premium again and that's annoying! Ps: Sometimes when I send a message to someone, it never gets sent. Edit: Now we can't learn multiple languages anymore. Only with Tandem PRO. Are u guys kidding? The last update was better. Now it sucks!
