Feature Ideas

I would like to follow a friend that already has the app installed, so we can see each other progress. Right now, the "add friend" link only works if the person i'm sending to doesn't have the app installed yet; there needs to be a way to add a friend via their in-app player ID!

Instead of always starting a 1 on 1 chat, you could walk into a location like the Cafe and seeing two Avatars already talking to each other, you could stand nearby and listen for a moment then jump in and interrupt them! the avatars would respond and include you in the circle! this would make the 3D world feel so much more alive and help with practicing real life scenarios

Enable people to use LingoLooper hands-free with voice control, for instance when driving a car.

I often want to tell the character who to be so that it’ll be directly applicable to my life. That would be so amazing. For example, I haven’t met a kid character yet and I wanted to practice telling the kids I teach chorus that I learned a bit of their language and to try teaching in the language. The Free Talk is nice because you can choose to talk about music for example, but the character won’t pretend to be 5 and in a music class for you. Anyway, I understand if that’s too hard to implement and I appreciate the space to make suggestions!

I think with the grocery store location being added a location for a shopping mall would be good where you can have conversations with staff members, stores for different things for e.g. a shoe store, perfume store or a store for suits or everyday clothes. There's so many different subtopics you could add in a mall location

I think this would be useful because many people go to a hair salon/barber shop regularly. A language barrier is also very stressful at a salon or barber shop, and it requires some specialized vocabulary if you want a specific thing done. You could make it just hair, or you could have different people there that talk about nail and spa stuff too in order to add some variety to it.

I think having a bank location where you can pretend to open an account, discuss different banking options and products or talking about financial transactions or currency exchange would be really useful for people relocating to a different country. I think this location goes well with the office location helping expand professional/more specific vocab

I'm motivated by milestones and recognitions of my progress. I want an achievements system in the game, so that I can have clear goals to aim for, feel a sense of accomplishment when I reach them, and stay motivated in my language learning journey.

As someone who loves cars it would be nice to be able to talk about them in the language your learning and I'm sure it would be useful for when actually visiting a mechanic or a garage

A new location to meet fellow book worms and practice topics like history, politics, science ... you name it!

the avatars are always asking about us in every line, if they talk more we can ask them about stuff

Being in a group environment while learning a new language where you can practise making jokes and more would be awesome!!

I'd like to see more relationship options - family, friends, romantic interests, coworkers, and even rival/enemy dynamics. The idea is to make the conversations and scenarios feel more natural, immersive, and varied. It would also be nice for the avatars to be more opinionated and not always so nice, so that the enemy dynamic feels more lifelike and the experience becomes more engaging.

Sometimes I insult an avatar, yet they remain overly friendly and don't respond appropriately. That annoys me. To make avatars feel less robotic, add an optional 'evil mode'. Avatars could start mildly rude and react to insults in varied, believable ways. Suggested archetypes: Boundary — asks you to stop and threatens to leave. Aggressor — insults back. Stoic — replies calmly and wisely. Passive-aggressive — curt and polite; creates subtle tension. Sarcastic — uses ironic dismissal. Defensive — sets a firm boundary. Humorous — defuses with jokes or self-deprecation. Educator — explains why the comment is offensive. Empathic — reflects the user's emotion and redirects. Mirror — repeats the insult as a question to prompt reflection. Ignore — silent or delayed response as passive penalty. Escalator — matches hostility; high risk of conflict. Consequence-driven — warns and then takes action (mute/end). Playful — light provocation that invites banter. Meta — reminds the user this is a character and reframes the insult.
