Ratings and Reviews
Great app but lost chat messages
The app uses phone memory to store chat messages? Not sure if that’s the case but I reset my device and found that only the group chats remained. This app is really great and helpful in learning languages, I have found new friends as well. But now our chat messages are gone on my account. Good thing I backed up my device before proceeding with reset. Hope you can improve this! Good luck and thanks for developing such a great app.

Been a HelloTalk user for 5 years
I’ve been using HelloTalk for the past 5 years almost 6 years soon. I’ve witnessed this app improve in its development over the years. There never was a “correction” function but now it’s commonplace and everyone enjoys this function. There has also been improvements in the User Experience. I was impressed by the continuous development of the app I decided to pay annual subscription so I can find learners of more than 1 language. I’m learning 3 languages now through the app. I’ve made plenty of friends. Although some I haven’t talked to in years, I have a couple of close friends who remain my friends to this day. It’s all thanks to HelloTalk which has become a language community on its own.
I recommend people who download the app to actively try to learn their target language with natives and form friendships. But this also takes time and don’t expect to have a beat friend in a day here.
Disappointed
User’s Location / region suddenly changes including native language which is harder
for some users who work overseas and doesn’t speak the local language. I’m learning Vietnamese and my native language is English but I’m working in Vietnam. When i created my account i settled my location to USA since that’s my hometown but since I’m overseas it suddenly changed my region and native language even though i am VIP and didn’t provide a location. I talked to hellotalk about this and asked me for verification 🙃. That is considered a privacy!!! You shouldn’t even ask for documentation that tells where you were born or even your native language. Thats nonsense. Unless it is face to face. BUT please fix this is really a hassle for language learners. Also be better when it comes to customer services some users have been sharing there issues you barely reply to messages especially about refunds. Please fix this Hellotalk the app was great before.
