Linqapp, which until now was only available for Android, is finally also available on the Apple App Store. The app’s primary function is pairing people in need of language help with fellow language learners who are native speakers of any language.

Real people assist in situations where computer-based systems like Google Translate meet their limitations: providing translations based on audio recordings or pictures, answering cultural questions, and sharing native-speaker expertise on grammar, vocabulary and slang.


Linqapp allows users to simply snap a picture or record an audio clip, attach a question or request for translation, and submit it to the Linqapp community. Native speakers of the target language are then notified about the new question and can answer via text, audio recording or picture.

The multi-media question-and-answer format allows for rich, helpful and fast answers. (Under three minutes for popular languages like Spanish, English and Chinese.) Linqapp uses a point system to incentivize users to participate, so that sharing helpful answers builds their reputation within the app.

With Linqapp, we are making the expertise of native speakers easily accessible to anyone, anywhere,” says Co-Founder Sebastian Ang. “We believe that Linqapp can fundamentally change how people get fast assistance in situations that require the skills of a native speaker.

We’re helping language learners around the world make progress on their language learning adventure.” Linqapp is available worldwide, in several languages and for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
