Ratings and reviews

The energy system is ridiculous. It's not possible to complete legendary level lessons with this system. Just block this option to free accounts then. Also, with this energy system, it feels like 50% of the time in the app is watching ads. So let's say you want to spend 30 minutes every day on learning a language. If you use Duolingo, you spend on learning only 15 minutes, the rest is watching ads. That's a waste of your time. I recommend using other apps or just free AI tools.

In general, good app. But amount of notifications you have to skip everyday is frustrating. Today wanting to spam skip notifcations I got the one about dropping from league, about which I don't care at all and by accident I purchased for 2000 gems to keep my spot, when wanting to just skip it. @edit - and today I did a lesson only to see past modnight that for some reason I used stack freeze?

Before I would say it's a great app, but now the "energy" system is ruining everything! When there were hearts I could learn as much as I wanted to, until making 5 mistakes of course. But now it'll stop me mid lesson and force me to quit it, unless I watch an ad, which also isn't always possible, the other option is to spend gems on the "energy", it takes all of the fun away.. And the motivation too.. Unless they change that back, don't recommend it.
