Hello there, I joined Langmate so that I could make friends with Japanese speaking people in order to be able to learn the wonderful language, and to my surprise within few minutes of using this app I received messages from a few people....wonderful experience so far and I am hoping to meet a lot of wonderful Japanese people here.Cheers !
App full of scammers
Champ_1199
The app is good, and the reason you might get so many matches so quickly is because they are from fake people trying to scam you. As soon as you match and drop a hi, they will try to switch apps, either to Instagram or LINE, then there they will manipulate you to participate in some kind of crypto trading or forex trading. They will force you to do the trading on a fake app/platform which is of course a scam and once you put money in that account for trading or transfer your crypto, they will just vanish with your money. These people are so good in faking as they will involve you for 2-3 days before scamming to gain trust. They will talk all type of things, maybe share pictures too of their daily routines, which are obviously some google photos..I would recommend developers to introduce some sort of identity verification like other apps so that in case someone goes through a scam they can atleast approach the developers for recovery or some sort of help. I also suggest users to only switch apps only after having a lot of conversations, and to never trade on the platforms they share..Thanks
Suggestion about something
harpalsinora
I want to suggest that your app has great idea and platform to get international friends but as like me many students also using this app we can't afford money to make friends so please introduce some features like ads or by which we can make more friends as the way we earn coins..please do something about that only we can accept friend requests and use your platform more better to make friends
