Ratings and reviews

a good app, but I find not enough explanations between words that sound the same but mean different thing entirely . it doesn't explain in detail why you have to use certain words in certain sentences . I need basic , I am learning a lot, but feel if everything was more in depth I would learn faster. Would still recommend regardless as I'm still moving forward with my progress, and it helps to have a goal like the streak , because once you get a good amount of days done, you don't want to stop

I love the ease of this game and how it motivates me to practice every day so I continue my streak. The only critique I have is I wish we could have a section to review basic words like verbs, adjectives, a list of all numbers as well as how to say first, second, third etc, and especially conjunctions, past and present tense. I feel like sentence structure/building could have a lot more focus. Maybe these are addressed later in the units, but this would be much better in the earlier sections.

I really, really love Duolingo. But recently, with the new update, I've been getting a bug where when I complete a level and it gives me a 15 minute XP boost, instead it completely gets rid of any active XP boost I have. I really hate this bug. I'm active in the weekly tournaments and try to maximize XP with my learning. Please help! It's so frustrating!
