love it
Jun 11, 2020 i have learned soooo much from this app. i wish i would have found out about it sooner. i love that native spanish speakers are able to correct my wording so that it sounds more natural, and that i can learn about places from all over the world. since i am a 20 year old girl, i have gotten around 1000 messages in 3 weeks, which is definitely entertaining, but can be a little scary too. be careful who you talk to. i have learned that if someone asks for a voice message or picture (which the app doesn’t allow) within the first few messages, i should probably stop talking to them. one bug that i hate is that messages don’t send if you’re not connected to wifi. it’s really hard to write long messages in another language multiple times. overall, this app has taught me so much and given me an opportunity to practice my spanish, which is exactly what i was looking for. i highly recommend it.more -
Great connections, app could be better
Jan 5, 2020 Made many connections in the language of my current focus. It’s quick and it’s simple. The only drawbacks is that after a strong language exchange partner is made, the app itself (Speaky) quickly becomes limited in it ability. We usually more often than not have to jump to a different platform, one with more stable capabilities and features. Overall, again –– great, no-hassle connections!!more -
needs some help
Aug 1, 2018 a couple things about this app. it’s a very good one, it’s concept is a great idea of having other people teach you their language BUT there is still this large amount of men from the middle east who will message you and ultimately flirt with you. there is also a glitch where when you reply to a message, your text is there twice but when you go back into the chat after the person replied there is only one text bubble from you, it’s really weird. i personally wouldn’t recommend this app because of the overwhelming amount of men on this app who are just looking for fun.more -
PROBLEM
Feb 11, 2021 Hey speaky team I really love this app and I really appreciate ur work but I really have a big problem that I cannot get into this app ...from the morning I’m trying to log in and it’s just doesn’t work and I don’t want to lose my account and my communication with my friends so please help me what is the problem?? Btw I’m using this app since March 2020 and this problem didn’t happen to me before.. sorry for my poor English🤭🙂🌚 but please help me lots of love and thank u for ur hard work 🤩❤️❤️more -
eh it’s okay
Jul 4, 2018 It has a good concept, you can definitely learn a different language but as I look at it, it’s more of a like friend/dating app. You can’t even add pictures to help people or for them to see your handwriting. Has anyone noticed that there’s these korean people who will talk to you for a day or two and then all of a sudden never log in again? Same with some other people...: I’ll be talking to them and then they will never talk on there again. Has this happened to anyone. Overall it’s an okay app, definitely needs some improvement and also the app can be very laggy.more

Terrible app
Jan 29, 2020 Wow, at first I thought this app was amazing, but after using it for months now, I deleted it. Half the time if wont send my messages, so I have to type out the same message like 5 times or more. No audio and no pictures can be sent. A lot of trashy guys like to use it to send sexual things. There is no way to report them and there are no rules for the app. The most frustrating part is that the app bugged me every time I opened it to sign up to receive alerts on my phone and yet once I finally signed up for alerts, I never get alerts! Wow, HelloTalk and Tandem are WAY better apps. This is the worst app I’ve used to learn a language. If I could give negative stars, I would.more -
Very buggy
Apr 22, 2020 Is this app still supported? Is the company behind it dead. Speaky is so buggy & has been for a long time. Main complaint: You send a message, it disappears. Who knows if it sent... who knows what you sent. I presume the same applies to the person on other end. You send a reply and... no reply. I’d love to use speaky, but it needs to be fixed. Sometime this century would be nice. I probably downloaded this a couple years ago and check it now and then... no improvements are apparent. Right now you are way behind HelloTalk, which is recommend way more than Speaky. Please improve Speaky if you want to change my mind.more -
Messages disappear!!
Mar 25, 2019 I want to love this app, I really do. It’s a wonderful concept and 90% of the people I’ve met genuinely want to practice language. However, the message disappearing bug really hinders the user experience and makes it difficult to maintain conversations. I’m never sure if the person saw my message go through and it just disappeared on my end, and the fact that there’s already somewhat of a language barrier makes this problem super confusing. Fix that and it would be five stars!more -
The app almost functions great but has a critical failure
Aug 30, 2018 Every aspect of the app appears to work great and it makes finding people very easy...but then it doesn’t work when you try to talk to them. Often when trying to send a message it just disappears and after refreshing acts as though the message was never typed out and sent, making it almost impossible to carry on a conversation with anybody in this app. Fix this major issue and I will give this app a good rating.more -
Would be great if messages sent
Mar 15, 2019 None of my chat messages are sending. I’ll type/send a few lines and if I go back to the home screen my messages are gone as if they never sent. From other reviews this appears to be a recurring problem. The potential for this app is great, which is why I gave it 2 stars, but an app that fails in its primary and most basic function-to send messages and chat-needs some serious reworking. I want to love this app but all I am is frustrated.more

The app has issues sending messages
Feb 11, 2019 This is a really cool idea, but when ever I write a message, more times than not, the message will disappear instead of sending. It’s really difficult to get a message out. Fix this and I will improve my rating. -

IM GETTING CULTURED, although there are some bugs
Oct 12, 2018 Speaky is great! It’s my first day on it and I love it! It has connected me with people from all over the world and I have learned so much already. Although there are some bugs! Sometimes I try to send a message and it does not go through to and I have to refresh the app multiple times before it works. Other than that the app is great!more -
Great chat feature
Sep 25, 2020 This has an excellent chat feature and some good filters for finding the people you want to chat with. However, it would be much better if there was also a video chat Orión for secure video chats that don’t require giving out your socials. Actually speaking and listening is important too!more -
We love your app but ...
Sep 27, 2018 That’s very likly app but it has mush problems like when we send a message it don’t send we must close app and resend it again and it need reconnection every time we out of it . We would like you to improve the app .

Wow
Jun 26, 2018 It’s a pretty good app, but It doesn’t have the ability to send voice messages or photos, so it’s a bit harder to get help with homework. Another thing is that when I send messages, it never shows I’ve sent it. Once I leave the chat it still says I have a new message and haven’t responded, even though I just did. It makes it a lot more difficult to communicate because I don’t think people are receiving my messages and if I double text people will think I’m weird.more -
Great site but a few glitches
Nov 15, 2017 This site is great for talking to people in your target language. However, there are some bugs that need to be fixed. Sometimes the app just shuts off. Also, whenever I correct someone’s writing and submit it, the app shuts off. Suggestion: A built in translation mechanism would be awesome. Don’t know how feasible it is though. It would just be cool to have one within the app so I don’t have to keep exiting and going to my google translate app. Other than that I’ve been able to correspond with people just fine. I like the filters for finding people. Those seem to work very well. I like only talking to people of my same gender because with men you never know if they’re going to act all weird (sorry—speaking from experience).more -
Buggy
Apr 18, 2018 The app doesn’t always send my messages through, and some of the messages disappear after being sent. Also, I don’t always receive messages from the language partner. There is an issue with the internet connection constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. However, the filters are good and there are plenty of people using the app who are willing to help you with your language studies.more

Too many bugs
Nov 26, 2018 I like the concept of the app but if I can’t send any messages how am I supposed to enjoy it. The app has been messing up and no one is fixing these bugs!?? Why???! It’s so frustrating to message someone and find out the message never went through. Even when you try to resend it, it doesn’t go through. The app is a tug of war. So I can’t say it’s worth your timemore -
It ok
Jun 10, 2017 It's a good app overall, but it definitely needs work. I can't correct messages because it kicks me off every time I try to send them with corrections, and then, of course, you can't call or video chat anyone. I mean you could add them on Skype or WhatsApp, but I wish you could just do all that from this app. That would definitely make it a better app!more

Trouble logging into the app...
Mar 10, 2021 For a few days now Speaky won’t let me log in... it just keeps tells me “an error occurred while connecting”. It seems many others have had this problem as well. I tried deleting the app and re downloading it, restarting my iPhone, and checking for software updates.... However, NONE of the above seemed to fix the issue.... has anyone out there found a way to overcome this?!?!more -
Can’t Meet New People
Dec 20, 2019 When I would send a message to people, no one ever reads them. It seems only a few people who I spoke to before can see my messages. Two stars... Update: It appears after writing this review Speaky has decided to “suspend” my account. No reason provided. Also, a bunch of the people I used to speak with are appearing as “suspended users” as well. I do not recommend Speaky to anyone. At this point I wish I could give ZERO stars.more -
Does not work
Mar 5, 2021 I signed up for Speaky and had a great experience but when I went to log on the next day it just says “initializing language experience” the iphone app just says connection error as well. are the servers down? this is my favorite language exchange platform so far and I would hate to not be able to use it anymore. If any devs see this please respond.more
What’s Groovy
The only thing stopping me from giving this 5 stars is the fact that it doesn't have anything to add pictures or audio. From it's kind, however, it's one of the best. Most of the people are kind and helpful ( although I would recommend, if you're a teenage girl, to not accept dm's from older men because they hardly ever want to talk about languages, so it's a bit unsafe but if you don't talk to them it'll be fine.). The opportunity to correct people is good. There are good filters if you want to keep safe. There is a wide variety of languages. It's a safe app for kids, as you can filter out older people. There is an option to block, report, or just deny a text. There are no bugs, besides when sometimes when I text something, it doesn't show up for a bit, but it always goes through. That's really all. I would definitely recommend it, but you should at least be a little mature. It's a simple app, straight to the point, and that's what makes it great. If you want to practice language without navigating the site for hours, get this. It's definitely a great app.

What’s Subpar
I really wanted this program to work. I’ve been patient. But every time I’ve used it I have had some kind of major problem. Either it wants to log me in as a new user, when I already have conversations that I am trying to get back into, or it takes forever to post what I have already written. When that happens I then think it didn’t get what I wrote earlier and write it again. Sometimes it goes through twice, other times not at all.
I appreciate how you can meet people according to language interest, but that’s about it for now. It needs major improvement to be usable and effective.

People aren’t responsive
It seems like a good app with a nice correction feature, but unfortunately I didn’t get to try it out. I texted +20 people and no one responded. A friend of mine had the same experience. I told him I’ll give it a try. Turns out he’s correct.

It’s a nice app but it has some glitches when notifications come.
-
love it
i have learned soooo much from this app. i wish i would have found out about it sooner. i love that native spanish speakers are able to correct my wording so that it sounds more natural, and that i can learn about places from all over the world. since i am a 20 year old girl, i have gotten around 1000 messages in 3 weeks, which is definitely entertaining, but can be a little scary too. be careful who you talk to. i have learned that if someone asks for a voice message or picture (which the app doesn’t allow) within the first few messages, i should probably stop talking to them. one bug that i hate is that messages don’t send if you’re not connected to wifi. it’s really hard to write long messages in another language multiple times. overall, this app has taught me so much and given me an opportunity to practice my spanish, which is exactly what i was looking for. i highly recommend it. -
Great connections, app could be better
Made many connections in the language of my current focus. It’s quick and it’s simple. The only drawbacks is that after a strong language exchange partner is made, the app itself (Speaky) quickly becomes limited in it ability. We usually more often than not have to jump to a different platform, one with more stable capabilities and features. Overall, again –– great, no-hassle connections!! -
IM GETTING CULTURED, although there are some bugs
Speaky is great! It’s my first day on it and I love it! It has connected me with people from all over the world and I have learned so much already. Although there are some bugs! Sometimes I try to send a message and it does not go through to and I have to refresh the app multiple times before it works. Other than that the app is great! -
Great chat feature
This has an excellent chat feature and some good filters for finding the people you want to chat with. However, it would be much better if there was also a video chat Orión for secure video chats that don’t require giving out your socials. Actually speaking and listening is important too! -
We love your app but ...
That’s very likly app but it has mush problems like when we send a message it don’t send we must close app and resend it again and it need reconnection every time we out of it . We would like you to improve the app . -
Language Exchange
Speaky is generally an excellent way to meet others who are serious about languages. There aren’t nearly as many spammers as one sees elsewhere. Caution is advised wherever we go on the Internet, but my experiences here have been very positive. -
I enjoy the app
This app has been great so far some creepy men who are trying to date or hit on you but majority of the people really want to learn so I would suggest trying it out! -
Love it!
Speaky is so great! Although there are a few glitches, it’s an amazing tool to learn and practice a different language from your native tongue. I’ve met some awesome people and we learn from one another. -
Great app but..
This is a very good app but when I correct or edit a message it crashes. It also won't let me edit what languages I am learning. -
Enjoyable
It's a good way to connect with people from around the world and improve language skill.

needs some help
a couple things about this app. it’s a very good one, it’s concept is a great idea of having other people teach you their language BUT there is still this large amount of men from the middle east who will message you and ultimately flirt with you. there is also a glitch where when you reply to a message, your text is there twice but when you go back into the chat after the person replied there is only one text bubble from you, it’s really weird. i personally wouldn’t recommend this app because of the overwhelming amount of men on this app who are just looking for fun. -
eh it’s okay
It has a good concept, you can definitely learn a different language but as I look at it, it’s more of a like friend/dating app. You can’t even add pictures to help people or for them to see your handwriting. Has anyone noticed that there’s these korean people who will talk to you for a day or two and then all of a sudden never log in again? Same with some other people...: I’ll be talking to them and then they will never talk on there again. Has this happened to anyone. Overall it’s an okay app, definitely needs some improvement and also the app can be very laggy. -
Wow
It’s a pretty good app, but It doesn’t have the ability to send voice messages or photos, so it’s a bit harder to get help with homework. Another thing is that when I send messages, it never shows I’ve sent it. Once I leave the chat it still says I have a new message and haven’t responded, even though I just did. It makes it a lot more difficult to communicate because I don’t think people are receiving my messages and if I double text people will think I’m weird. -
Great site but a few glitches
This site is great for talking to people in your target language. However, there are some bugs that need to be fixed. Sometimes the app just shuts off. Also, whenever I correct someone’s writing and submit it, the app shuts off. Suggestion: A built in translation mechanism would be awesome. Don’t know how feasible it is though. It would just be cool to have one within the app so I don’t have to keep exiting and going to my google translate app. Other than that I’ve been able to correspond with people just fine. I like the filters for finding people. Those seem to work very well. I like only talking to people of my same gender because with men you never know if they’re going to act all weird (sorry—speaking from experience). -
Buggy
The app doesn’t always send my messages through, and some of the messages disappear after being sent. Also, I don’t always receive messages from the language partner. There is an issue with the internet connection constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. However, the filters are good and there are plenty of people using the app who are willing to help you with your language studies. -
Just Text: Neither Visual nor Audio
Some weeks ago, I switched from an Apple iPhone 5c to a 6. On the 5c, it only had a microphone (which I was unable to use ‘cause that phone was outdated), but the 6 neither had the camera nor the microphone when I opened a chat. Honestly, I could care less about the camera, but I was really looking forward to speaking with someone, especially to learn a new language. -
Very interesting but..
I think that this app has a very big potential, you can practice you language skills for free. But there is also few issues like many times I was trying to send a message and it wasn’t delivered.. unfortunately I don’t know why but it’s somehow deleted from history like I’ve never written it .. that makes me crazy .. please, do something with that ..! -
Not bad but...
Hi, To be frankly I install this app after a time that was removed but as like as previous version there’s a problem to me with this app! There are always some accounts that are online all the day! And when you ask them to talk, there’s no one to answer your asking! And it wasn’t just in one or two occasions but more than ten times! Are they real or fake accounts?! -
Great App - Needs Work
I love the concept and there are so many people on this app which is great! However, every time I try to correct a message, the app crashes. Also, I wish there would be a way to find native speakers from certain countries. I'm trying to learn Spanish from Argentina which is quite different from Spanish from other parts of the world. -
Good but glitchy
Good app, but it’s very glitchy. Messages often fail to send, the connection is spotty even when I’m on a good WiFi network, and it doesn’t always send notifications when a new message is received. Also it sends two notifications every time someone adds you, which is obnoxious.

Terrible app
Wow, at first I thought this app was amazing, but after using it for months now, I deleted it. Half the time if wont send my messages, so I have to type out the same message like 5 times or more. No audio and no pictures can be sent. A lot of trashy guys like to use it to send sexual things. There is no way to report them and there are no rules for the app. The most frustrating part is that the app bugged me every time I opened it to sign up to receive alerts on my phone and yet once I finally signed up for alerts, I never get alerts! Wow, HelloTalk and Tandem are WAY better apps. This is the worst app I’ve used to learn a language. If I could give negative stars, I would. -
Very buggy
Is this app still supported? Is the company behind it dead. Speaky is so buggy & has been for a long time. Main complaint: You send a message, it disappears. Who knows if it sent... who knows what you sent. I presume the same applies to the person on other end. You send a reply and... no reply. I’d love to use speaky, but it needs to be fixed. Sometime this century would be nice. I probably downloaded this a couple years ago and check it now and then... no improvements are apparent. Right now you are way behind HelloTalk, which is recommend way more than Speaky. Please improve Speaky if you want to change my mind. -
Messages disappear!!
I want to love this app, I really do. It’s a wonderful concept and 90% of the people I’ve met genuinely want to practice language. However, the message disappearing bug really hinders the user experience and makes it difficult to maintain conversations. I’m never sure if the person saw my message go through and it just disappeared on my end, and the fact that there’s already somewhat of a language barrier makes this problem super confusing. Fix that and it would be five stars! -
The app almost functions great but has a critical failure
Every aspect of the app appears to work great and it makes finding people very easy...but then it doesn’t work when you try to talk to them. Often when trying to send a message it just disappears and after refreshing acts as though the message was never typed out and sent, making it almost impossible to carry on a conversation with anybody in this app. Fix this major issue and I will give this app a good rating. -
Would be great if messages sent
None of my chat messages are sending. I’ll type/send a few lines and if I go back to the home screen my messages are gone as if they never sent. From other reviews this appears to be a recurring problem. The potential for this app is great, which is why I gave it 2 stars, but an app that fails in its primary and most basic function-to send messages and chat-needs some serious reworking. I want to love this app but all I am is frustrated. -
Trouble logging into the app...
For a few days now Speaky won’t let me log in... it just keeps tells me “an error occurred while connecting”. It seems many others have had this problem as well. I tried deleting the app and re downloading it, restarting my iPhone, and checking for software updates.... However, NONE of the above seemed to fix the issue.... has anyone out there found a way to overcome this?!?! -
Too many bugs
I like the concept of the app but if I can’t send any messages how am I supposed to enjoy it. The app has been messing up and no one is fixing these bugs!?? Why???! It’s so frustrating to message someone and find out the message never went through. Even when you try to resend it, it doesn’t go through. The app is a tug of war. So I can’t say it’s worth your time -
Can’t Meet New People
When I would send a message to people, no one ever reads them. It seems only a few people who I spoke to before can see my messages. Two stars... Update: It appears after writing this review Speaky has decided to “suspend” my account. No reason provided. Also, a bunch of the people I used to speak with are appearing as “suspended users” as well. I do not recommend Speaky to anyone. At this point I wish I could give ZERO stars. -
It ok
It's a good app overall, but it definitely needs work. I can't correct messages because it kicks me off every time I try to send them with corrections, and then, of course, you can't call or video chat anyone. I mean you could add them on Skype or WhatsApp, but I wish you could just do all that from this app. That would definitely make it a better app! -
Does not work
I signed up for Speaky and had a great experience but when I went to log on the next day it just says “initializing language experience” the iphone app just says connection error as well. are the servers down? this is my favorite language exchange platform so far and I would hate to not be able to use it anymore. If any devs see this please respond.

Unusable on phone and computer
Unuseable. Freezes and I can chat with anyone. I despise this app. I cannot delete my account because it freezes every time. -
Not working cant send message
I wish i could give minus 10 stars -
Issue After Issue
This may be the worst app I have ever tried to use. Out of the 6 or so months I’ve had it, I may have been able to use it for one. When there is an issue (there almost always is) it may take a month to get fixed. The most recent issue is people can message me but I can’t return a text. A fax machine is a better way to communicate. -
Unusable
The app crashes every five seconds. I’ve tried deleting and downloading it again multiple times but to no avail. All of my other apps work just fine, so I don’t know what it is about this one that keeps giving my phone aneurysms. It’s a pity because I liked the concept. -
Lousy and useless app
You can’t type text or sometimes it will just hang by itself. Really a child made app. The App Store review team needs to work harder to block this kind of lousy quality. Please take it down until the bugs are fixed. It’s been 1 years since I used it, AND ITS UNCHANGED. STILL BROKEN. -
Error
People can’t set a profile picture and filter settings doesn’t work. Please fix it. -

Don’t waste your time
I can’t even log in anymore, I’m getting sone error message (and as I can see, I’m not the only one) -
Good app, bad bugs
Literally has an app breaking bug where you can’t log in. Every time you try it gives you an error. I’ll change the rating once I can actually log onto the app.

Ok, but room for improvement
The app is alright so far only it logs me out every time I check it, there's nothing really to do but text. Being able to send voice messages and photo and video messages would be nice. It also does something strange with the unread messages. I have to keep force quitting and restarting the app to get it to work. -
Email Verification doesn’t work.
I like the app, but my email address won’t verify and I am not seeing any progress on my profile. I’m guessing that is because my email won’t verify. I received the verification emails but the links don’t work and after trying to contact Speaky a few times I never hear back from them. -
Unusable
The app crashes every five seconds. I’ve tried deleting and downloading it again multiple times but to no avail. All of my other apps work just fine, so I don’t know what it is about this one that keeps giving my phone aneurysms. It’s a pity because I liked the concept. -
Can’t reply to others
Every time I try to reply to someone it glitches and erases my messages. At first it appears that it did send but my reply disappears later. Pls fix this problem. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t because of this issue. -
Too many glitches
I’ve found people I enjoy chatting with, but at some point the app quits sending any messages I type. I don’t think it’s because I’m getting blocked as other people have also said the app has issues.

VERY stupid, cant use email to join
VERY VERY VERY STUPID that in 2019 the only way to join is via Facebook or Google which THIS APP DOES NOT NEED ACCESS TO. Why cant I use my email address? There are hundreds of email providers that people use around the world yet you STUPIDLY only allow the 2 options. I can only assume you have no intention of wanting to be a popular language chat app. Good luck, youre gonna need it if u actually expect to succeed long term. Idiots! -
Big issues!
I’m constantly texting people and it shows message send only to go back and text is gone, so you waist so much time writing and loosing. Huge flaw... you can sit and watch the connecting flash on and off, so their system just can’t seem to handle the demand. I use cell and WiFi connections, does it both ways so it’s on their end. They need to fix it or it’s not worth the frustration -
Very bad
I downloaded this app to try and practice my Spanish and there were many things wrong with it. For one, I could not send any of my messages, they would not go through. I had connection to receive other people’s messages but I would send my message, check to see if it went through, and none ever did. Second, even if my messages did go through, the app could use improvement. There was no way to send audio messages or make a voice or video call, all of whichever crucial in learning a language. I would recommend downloading another app such as tandem if you are interested in language improvement, Speaky just didn’t work for me. -
Buggy Platform
Very buggy platform, no messages that I sent to other users are going through! Having to type the same messages over and over is ridiculous and mostly time ineffective. Good concept, but very poor execution! If you want users to use the app, fix the bugs ! Send better updates! Right now, it is buggy, time consuming, and ineffective communication. -
Lousy and useless app
You can’t type text or sometimes it will just hang by itself. Really a child made app. The App Store review team needs to work harder to block this kind of lousy quality. Please take it down until the bugs are fixed. It’s been 1 years since I used it, AND ITS UNCHANGED. STILL BROKEN.
