Quotes from Jonathan Maxim:

”We just crossed the million downloads mark, and it’s been an awesome ride. We had some viral moments with HeyPal, no doubt.">

"It makes it really easy to speak with somebody from another country if you’re trying to learn a language. The whole idea is to build a gap between curriculum learning and practice."

"It’s really the social glue on the language learning space."

"Social media is one component of the marketing strategy to make things go viral."

"The ads that have an influencer or a real human in them, they convert better. They have better click-through rate, better conversion rate, even though they cost less and the production quality is lower.”
