Good app, great idea, buggy update: I joined HT about 10 years ago. It was a great way to meet new people, find language parents and get writing corrected. I logged back in for the first time in years and was greatly disappointed at how profit driven and social media like the app has become. It is for all purposes ruined and that's a shame. Terrible, terrible direction.

I like the new hellowords feature. its good to pick up new vocabulary but I dont like that studying is limited to one category a time. Unless you pay to study more. I'm already a VIP member so an additional subscription on top of that is ridiculous. The audio lessons are nice also but again another individual subscription feature. I'd be willing to pay a few more dollars a month for a bundle, but I wont pay for each separately. No thanks.

Sorry for making you feel bad. Please understand that a lot of resources and efforts have been poured into the app and we have to monetize and generate some revenue to keep the app going. If there's anything else we could do to help your experience in HelloTalk, please contact us at support@hellotalk.com. Thanks for your continued support!

Unfortunately, if you want to get much out of this app, you have to pay money. If you're talking to someone you can only translate what they say 5 times a day, and there are many other limitations. I was fine with that, so I purchased a premium plan. But I found out that the main thing I bought it for (the learning center where you can study and learn new words) is a different subscription all together!!! I'm premium and I STILL have FIVE MINUTES of study time every TEN HOURS!!

Sorry for the misunderstanding of you. Course and VIP are different subscriptions. We suggest that you could try some free lessons and then consider to subscribe it if you would like to unblock all lessons.
