HiNative Customer Insights

1. Mainly: Could we have a filter button on our notification wall where if we were to press it, we can choose to only view answers from those we follow (temporarily, we'd still get other notifs)? It's kind of like the YouTube filter button where you can choose to only have recommendations based on your subscriptions, but you still get notifs/recommendations from other channels in the background.I think you should add a feauture to upload an audio.

2. Though some features are behind a "paywall" it does offer a refreshing amount of free content for a "freemium" app.One of the most useful resourses for learning any language.

3. The free version isn't bad but with the sponsored ads and no access to some of the best features, I quickly opted for the pro version ... I think it's totally worth it!They switched around which features are premium --and now asking if a sentence sounds natural is premium.

4. 10/10 definitely recommend this app.HiNative is totally addictive! I love getting corrections & encouragement from native speakers and being able to help others with English.

5. This is a completely different tool that gets you very specific answers to your language questions from native speakers.

6. You can ask native speakers of your target language (no matter what that language is) any question you could ever possibly think to articulate, including questions about pronunciation.

7. You need to cycle to a different tab then back to get the correct page.HiNative, I beg you PLEASE make "the does this sound natural option" free.

8. I'll be cultivating other resources, which is a bummer; this app has been a favorite for years.Don't confuse this app with a language learning app.

9. It seems engineered to create positive interactions, because one person generously offers help, and the other gratefully receives it.

10. It seems like the UI in other languages may be unclear, based on the formatting of questions I'm getting.

11. Or at least allow new lang8 accounts! I loved it when I was free to ask if something sounded natural but then so many options were locked after initial set up.
