Ratings and reviews

I absolutely love Duolingo. It's intuitive and the algorithm that tracks mistakes are spot on for correcting errors that are to the individual. It's really wonderful, to the point that I've purchased the family premium plan. But listen to me. They did something recently and now my dark mode is gone. I will 100% uninstall this application and cancel my membership if they don't bring that back and in a hurry. It's not a new feature, give it back.

I really enjoy Duolingo so far and it is *mostly* a great experience. My only gripe is a major one - once the trial was over for Super Duo Lingo, I expected to be charged the monthly subscription pricing but instead was charged an annual fee of nearly $90. I feel like the product is worth paying for, but they absolutely need to be more transparent with what you will be billed when your trial is over.

I love the app. I've used it for years. I use the free version so there are ads. At first, it was reasonable but lately it feels like they've significantly increased the frequency of the ads and it's getting very annoying. Makes me not even want to watch the optional ads for extra rewards because it's already forcing me to watch 2 ads after EACH lesson.
