The concept is already great!

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!

Really nice user interface!

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.

Lots of Potential

I found this app off the r/LearnJapanese subreddit, and I think it’s a really great idea! For all the apps out there that try to teach you a language, it seems like none of them are very keen on letting you actually use those language skills in real life scenarios. The execution is a bit janky, but I’m willing to let that slide for now as the app seems to still be in its early phases. One suggestion I have is to make the matchmaking a little snappier, it’s a little embarrassing and cumbersome to have to message a dozen strangers to get a response.
