Ratings and reviews

It's a helpful app, it's the first one which made me stay into Chinese. But during the last month there appeared awful glitches which is worsening the process of learning. The sound is glitching as f. You can't complete listening exercise, because the sound doesn't play, even though the volume is on and you can hear other app effects. Audio support is essential, especially with Chinese. But I complete listening exercise 100% on random without the ability to listen. This is ridiculous.

Smt wrong with the sound. I can't hear any new word ( honestly, any word) in exercises. I start doing the exrsz and don't hear them. I tried so much: checking settingns in app, settings in phone, looking for in internet - nothing helping. Please check what's the problem - if I'm not alone with the problem Also, the pictures in my phone aren't moving. That's a little problem, but nervous me so much. Maybe smt with connection between my phone and the app?

Great app! Like all the motivation tricks and gamification solutions. The learnt words are repeated from time to time, and it helps to memorize them much better. Super Duolingo ads can be disturbing sometimes, but it does not get on your nerves that much. Overall, I really enjoy the application 👍🏻
