I've been using the app for 6 months and would've given it 5 stars if you'd asked me 2 weeks ago. HOWEVER, as many users have noted, the new update with AI is awful and navigation is far less intuitive. They've tried gamifying it with a fish I don't care about feeding (if I wanted to waste time on mobile game apps I wouldn't be on italki) and more focus on AI throughout the app. I'm on italki to find HUMAN teachers, not to wade through piles of AI slop. PLEASE REVERT BACK!!

The new UI is terrible. I just want to schedule lessons with my teacher, but they've moved that off the main page in favor of an AI chat and promotional announcements. They've also added a new fish thing that I don't want and can't disable. I was a completely satisfied user. All they had to do was keep the platform up and running. Unfortunately, with this new direction I'm very dissatisfied and will start looking for a new app.

UI is cluttered, unintuitive, ugly. At least you can still connect with teachers. First you are presented with a fish that you will have to name, then it tells that the fish is sad lvl1 and you need to feed it or something? Then you get to front page with some useless clutter. You need to press "book" and "find new teacher", then you are greeted with some AI slop profile thing. Finally you can find the teachers. To see available times you need to click through 3 purchase menus in the profile.
