Great potential

I stumbled across this app and gave it a try. It was a big confusing at first to use, but I was able to figure things o quickly as it isn’t complicated. I like that it’s simple, straight forward. I appreciate that there’s not unwanted ads that pop up and this app has allowed me to connect to several native speakers in Japan even though I’m all the way on states side. This app has great potential and there are some features that can be improved and this comes with providing constructive feedback to the developer. I’m enjoying this app so far.

The app is already great the way it works! And it has been improving its interface with every new update. It’s getting better with time and the concept of encouraging people to meet in person is a good idea to have the opportunity to actually have proper language exchange and make real long lasting friendships as opposed to just chat conversations in other apps that just end up being forgotten by both users. Also, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting the creator of the app and he’s an incredible entrepreneur that is actively improving this app with every feedback he receives from people actually using the app and wanting to make it better. Give it a try! And in time this app will also start to get more users in other countries outside of Japan because currently in Japan it is a big hit already!

I just downloaded the app and I’m trying out the features. I like the concept of location-based matching for Japanese language partner because it’s a bit of a hassle to schedule a time and location to meet with someone who doesn’t live close to me. And online meetings aren’t as fun as in-person chats over coffee. I’m also really impressed with the UX and UI. As an American, I find that Japanese apps usually don’t put enough effort into designing a nice UX/UI, so this was really a pleasant surprise. I’m excited to see what else the app has to offer and I wish the founder and the app lots of growth and success.

Perfect App For World Travelers

SewaYou is a fantastic app where you can meet new people no matter where you are in the world as long as someone in that part of the world uses the app too. So no matter where you move or travel too you can say hello and meet up in a public safe place and connect. I’ve had some success, and it helps knowing there’s a section in the app where you can tell people when you are available on what day and time so they can reach out on their free time too. It’s super cool. Can’t wait to use it some more.
