    Before Tandem was a great to meet people and to learn a new language. Now that experience has changed. They managed to figure out how to get rid of that beautiful experience by placing ads in every place imaginable. You see an ad now for clicking on a user profile under the explore tab. Even though you’re on that users profile, for ever photo that they have. They’ll render an add for the following swipe if you’re looking through there photos. That equates up to 6 ads because a person could post 6 photos. Now if you want to join a leave a potential party to learn a language. You’ll have a advertisements for both. I understand that the company has to make money yes but the user experience has went downhill. I voiced my opinion about it by creating a topic and within the same day. They blocked my account as if I was sharing misinformation… very bad experience on their part. They do have other issues with their application that I won’t get into. But the experience here has only been going downhill. 📉 I’ve been with Tandem for over 2 years so I could personally vouch for this. ✌️

    Thought this app couldn’t sink any lower, but it continues to subvert my expectations! So recently they started the en****ification of Tandem by limiting you to ten messages per day and adding (sometimes video) ads every other time you open someone’s profile—this all on top of a buggy app that hasn’t improved its awful messenger in basically a decade. That was already insanely annoying but somehow this dumpster fire of an app decided to put ads IN PEOPLE’S PROFILE PICTURES. So you are scrolling through them and there are like 1-2 ads shoehorned in between. Absolute madness. Tandem, I respect that you need to make money to keep the app free, but we all know you guys are doing this on purpose so people accidentally click on ads when they show up in places they shouldn’t be. This is unethical, despicable behavior. For those sick and tired of the situation, get yourself AdGuard’s DNS filter and just block all their ads. You’ll be sparing yourself the headache and probably keeping your data private from trackers. Oh, and avoiding sometimes straight up pornographic ads. Tandem, $7 a month for pro is a ridiculous proposition. Drop it to like $2-3 dollars and then maybe we’ll talk.

    Beats others like hell0talk by far! But recently (2/24) the have QUADRUPLED the annoying advertising so that’s the two stars. Good moderation weeding out scams and tinder fools.

    With each update this app puts more ads in more places.

    The app used to be enjoyable until they started placing ads everywhere. You can’t even look at a person’s profile without being forced to view an ad. Just 6 months ago I was telling my friends to get this app. Now I tell people to avoid it.

    No warnings. Didn’t get a chance to explain. I still don’t know what I did wrong.

    I love this app, overall a great way to meet people from around the globe and to also learn and practice languages. I’m experiencing right now something like a bug with the app.. when I’m on a specific chat, and the other person sends me messages I cannot see them until right after I re-enter the conversation. I don’t know to fix that but it’s inconvenient, because of that I cannot follow along with the conversation. I hope you could see if there’s something wrong and if I can be fixed. Thank you!
  • Not sure how this app is supposed to work

    This app seems like it has a lot of utility, but little focus. It seems like an interesting way to meet people and converse, but it's very freeform and kind of feels like a dating site. I haven't gotten too much value out of the conversations I have here. There is no structure as to who speaks what language without a significant amount of that negotiation between the two people it feels like one person benefits, more than the other.
