Dumbest app policy

There’s no way I shouldn’t be able to make a new account. I lost my old account password due to getting a new phone, and no I cannot access it at all. Let me make a new account stop being so controlling over it.

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026
Perfect learning space

Help me a lot to understand different languages, and also made new foreign friends to.

Boring, Dry and not worth it!

If you want to try it out, try it for free but don't pay for it. You're going to waste your money. The people who owns it controls who you sees.

Learning or Dating?

Marketed as a language learning app but very clear that the creators have shuffled this into a dating application since they learned this is what makes the most revenue. Odd. Make learning great again.

★★★★★Oct 11, 2026
One star is all I can give, and I would give zero if that were an option.

My experience with HelloTalk has been absolutely disgraceful. I was a paying VIP member, yet my account was permanently banned for “political talks,” with no specific evidence provided to justify such an extreme punishment. I repeatedly asked HelloTalk to show me exactly which messages violated its policies, but all I received was a generic statement. They even claimed multiple users had reported me, yet failed to provide evidence demonstrating that I had engaged in political discussions with multiple people. How can a company permanently terminate a paying customer’s account without offering a clear, case-specific explanation? Here is what actually happened: I did not initiate the political discussion. The other user made negative comments about my country, questioned my knowledge of Chinese history, and made an ignorant assumption that I knew nothing about their history. I responded by providing a summary of China’s history, and the user said it was difficult for them to comprehend. I never said anything bad about China. I was responding to a conversation someone else started, yet I was the one who received the permanent ban. If HelloTalk has rules restricting political discussions, those rules should be enforced fairly and consistently, rather than leaving users feeling that they have been punished simply for participating in a disagreement. What makes this situation even more infuriating is HelloTalk’s complete lack of transparency. I asked for evidence, specific messages, and an explanation of what I supposedly did wrong. Instead, I received a generic policy statement that did not meaningfully address my questions. An accusation is not the same as proof, and a generic response is not a meaningful explanation for a permanent ban. I cannot know how the other user was treated, but I have every reason to question whether my case was reviewed fairly when my requests for supporting evidence have not been answered. This is a language-learning platform that is supposed to bring people from different cultures together. What is the point of encouraging international communication if users cannot exchange perspectives without worrying about losing their accounts? I understand that HelloTalk has community guidelines, but paying customers deserve transparency, consistent enforcement, and a meaningful opportunity to challenge serious accusations. Paying for VIP does not entitle anyone to break the rules, but it certainly does not make it acceptable to provide inadequate explanations when permanently terminating someone’s account and cutting off access to a paid service. I strongly advise people to think twice before purchasing HelloTalk VIP. Based on my experience, I have lost trust in this company and its moderation process. I want HelloTalk to conduct a genuine review, provide the specific evidence supporting its allegations, restore my account and device access if the ban cannot be substantiated, and address the subscription I paid for but can no longer use. This has been an incredibly frustrating experience, and the way my concerns have been handled has left me feeling completely disregarded as a paying customer.
