I looked into this before, so I just wanted to share what I found (though I’m not a native speaker so I can’t 100% vouch this is correct)
밑 refers to the bottom area of something, including the inner bottom surface of the box, the general bottom area, the underneath surface of the box, and anything directly underneath it.
아래 refers to anything anywhere underneath the bottom of the box (or item), include the bottom surface. Can include things that are very far below it.
You would say 바다 밑에 to mean the bottom of the sea / the sea floor, 바다 아래 would mean underneath the entire sea / under the sea floor (so it’s wrong)
*Not sure about this part it’s just what I have in my personal notes* Both 밑 and 아래 can both be used for terms such as ‘Under protection, Under guidance of my teacher, 2 years below (younger than) me, and ranking status, but 아래 is slightly more formal.
밑 is also used as a character in words related to the ground such as: 무 밑 – radish root 밑절미 = Groundwork, basis

HelloTalk is a really nice app which is geared strongly towards language exchange. The detailed search settings and profiles help you find language partners who will match with you well, for example people who live near you or whose language level is the same as yours.
There are also a lot of helpful features to help your language exchange. You can save messages, provide corrections for each other (which is a really nice way to point out corrections without interrupting your conversation), and translate or hear an audio reading of messages.
They also provide free calls and all the other features of a good free chat app, just with a focus on language exchange which makes it one of the best apps I’ve used.
