Ratings and reviews

The good: The way the lessons are set up is very helpful, the spaced repetition especially. Characters are charming and engaging. The bad: The introduction of "ai" voices and curriculum have led to some noted inaccuracies. Not enough built-in guides to grammar, which I think it used to have. Overall worth it for vocabulary and regular practice, but you will need supplementation with pronunciation and grammar.

My old review is gone! I'll state my opinion again. The app is terrible now. The branching lesson system was perfect. I could focus on the material I was struggling with while using the stuff I already knew as practice. I could also listen to podcasts when I had a migraine. I could use the listening lessons, matching games, and timed games when I chose. Now it's a one size fits all system. No choice. No options for when I have a migraine. No fun choosing the lesson I want. Bring back old Duo.

Issues With Freezing (Free Super Trial). I love the app, but since I got the free trial the other day, there are so many issues. I just lost my 893 day streak because no matter how many times I do/did a lesson, it just freezes at the end when trying to finish the lesson! I tried 6 times and gave up, hoping it would recognize I did a lesson, but it didn't. Also,at first,it wouldn't even open the app when I went to use it. Just had the "Super" screen hung up. Really don't want to lose my streak :(
