AlloTalk Review December 2020

You need to have a Facebook or Twitter account to be able to register to AlloTalk. Your username and password for these sites will be your username and password for AlloTalk. The site shall also receive your public photo and display it as your AlloTalk profile picture. You can edit or delete such information, nevertheless.

There is no other option to register. You can log in, however, as a guest where you only need to provide a username and check a captcha box. As a guest, you can still edit your profile information and join the different chatrooms. You may as well manage your settings.

The only difference between a member and a guest is that the former can send friend requests to others. Guests do not have the privilege to do so.

There are two ways to communicate to other users: chatrooms and private chat. You can send a private conversation for free, but there is no guarantee that you will receive a reply. It seems like the members are more into getting involved in the chat rooms than doing private communication.

Upon checking the messages in the chatroom, we saw that there are no foul conversations. There are some who uses words such as sh*t, as*hole, and f*ck, but they really aren't that rude. They only use such words as an expression. The teenagers seem to be well-behaved.

The Chat Rooms

Unlike other chat sites that offer hundreds of chat rooms, AlloTalk only offers eight. They are:

Teen Room

The Teen Room is the general chat room where anyone can join. Teenagers here usually talk about random topics, such as things they have experienced for the day.

Flirt Room

This is the chat room for those who are looking for either a serious date or a quick fling. The moderators claim that this room is highly monitored.

LGBT+ Teens

AlloTalk welcomes teenagers of all colours. They have a special room for teens who are part of the LGBT+ community. Most users here talk about their feelings.

Staff Room

The Staff Room is solely for moderators. As a user, you may not enter this chatroom even if you are a VIP.

Quiz Room

You can enter this chat room to play and earn points. A bot called Quizbot asks a question and whoever gets the right answer shall earn a specific amount of points. There is no indication, however, what the points are for.

Gay Teen

This room is primarily for gay teens who want to find a community where they can feel that they belong. However, it's a bit inactive compared to the other rooms. It seems like the members are more likely to join the LGBT+ Teens chatroom.

Lesbian Teen

The Lesbian Teen chatroom is for teenage girls who identify themselves as a member of the third gender. However, just like the Gay Teen chatroom, it seems like the members are more fond of joining the LGBT+ Teens chatroom.

VIP Chat

This is the chatroom for those who availed of the VIP Membership. You may not merely enter the room unless you pay for the fee.

Your profile consists of the following information:

1. About Me – where your age, gender, and country are displayed. There is also a box where you can write something about yourself.
2. Friends List – gives you the complete list of the members who have added you or you have added as a friend.
3. Ignore List – gives you the complete list of the members you chose to ignore.
4. Options – where you can utilise your settings, including your language, set your timezone, modify your sounds, set your private chat options, arrange your theme, and add a username colour.
5. More – where you can edit your email, change your password, or delete your account.

If you check, however, another member's profile, these are the only ones you will see:

1. About me – where their age, gender, and country are displayed. You will also see their description of themselves.
2. Friends List – where you can see the complete list of friends of the profile owner. 
3. Info – where you can see when that member last logged in, the language he/she speaks, his/her timezone, and the theme he/she is using.
4. Add Friend – the button you need to click if you want to add him/her as a friend.
5. Ignore – the button you need to click if you want to ignore that person (so he/she won't bother you anymore).

Going over the profiles of most members, we noticed that the male teens don't usually complete their profiles. They only indicate the necessary information about themselves – nothing more, nothing less. The girls, on the contrary, are very open. They obediently fill out the about me box, sharing what they like and hate.

Although AlloTalk is entirely free, it still has a VIP membership to offer. The Lifetime VIP Membership is a one-time payment of USD 19. As such, there is no need to worry about a recurring bill.

• Lifetime VIP Membership: One-time payment of USD 19.

This membership allows you to access additional features that are not available to regular members. If you avail of it, your profile will display that you are a VIP.
