Connecting: Fun & Easy Calls

TLDR: The Apps really expensive and you can’t do anything without paying a ton of money outside of making a profile. Long version: I really want to rate this app higher because it seems well-made, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to do much beyond setting up my profile. The baseline price to even communicate with another person is $10 per week for the most basic features, and $32 per week if you want access to all of the app’s features. I understand that $32 is for the premium version, but charging that amount for just seven days of access feels excessive. This app has the potential to be a great platform for connecting people from all over the world, but the steep cost creates a barrier to even using it meaningfully. I’m sure the developers have their reasons for setting the prices this high, but if they don’t adjust them, it risks driving many users away. I’m not suggesting the app needs to be completely free, but a significant price reduction would make it far more accessible. Paying the equivalent of $30 a month just to send messages and make calls—features that many other social apps offer for free—could very well be this app’s downfall. As it stands, without a subscription you’re limited to sending a handful of “hi’s,” but can’t even follow up with an actual message unless you pay.

I love the idea of this app, It’s great and awesome to make friends. One thing I noticed though is that sometimes the translation won’t show up so it leads me to going to the translate app itself and have to manually do it. I love the fact that it automatically does it but there’s a glitch where it doesn’t work and makes the conversation difficult. Another thing is scammers but they’re everywhere. Maybe video verification or ID verification would help. I’ve seen the same guy with variations of the same name at least 4 times now. I’m quick to call them out and they’ll block me. I report them per usual but still stay cautious on this app! Don’t let people ask you to move to a different messenger and never send them money please! :)

So I just got this app and I’ve met some cool people! The wait time to call is a bit longer than a few mins but I understand how new this app is and how my selections narrow things down. I will say it’s definitely more challenging to make friends when you are using the free version, and I would most definitely get the subscription if it was a bit cheaper and there was a free trial for maybe a few days! I think it’s so cool how there is a personality type analysis using a phone call! It’s so helpful to see the people you are more compatible with! It’s a great app so far and it has so much potential! I look forward to future development 🤗.
