Ratings and reviews

The app is great for learning languages, and it drills the words in your brain. Although it is annoying to run out of hearts, the app is extremely helpful. You can choose between beginner and intermediate levels, which is great, and the leaderboard motivates you to do more. Also, Duolingo does not have any ads unless you choose one to get a heart. This helps you focus better on the language you are learning. It allows you to reveiw skills in case you forgot and that alone is very helpful.

Ever since replacing the employees with AI, my streak freezes have been disappearing. I have on occasion been unable to complete my lessons earlier in the day but I usually do at least one before midnight. For whatever reason, though, the app is convinced I'm not doing them and keeps using up my streak freezes. I reiterate that my streak does not have to be frozen. These things are expensive at 200 gems each, too.

Unreliable software. Often their servers are down when you need to study. Sometimes it is just a single exercise type that isn't available. For example I wasn't able to access any listening exercises for 2-3 days recently. And their claim to have a mission to offer free learning is disingenuous. They deliberately nerfed the free level so badly that it isn't usable. Management seems more focused on marketing than on serving their customers. Try another app. There are many others!

What's new

Thanks for updating! This version includes:
– Performance enhancements to support daily rituals
– Visual adjustments to improve clarity of the path
– Streak Society members now see more than before
– Removed the bones. The bones were a distraction. The bones are gone now.

As always, consistency is key.
Complete your lesson. Stay on the path. Do not look away.
