Unreliable software. Often their servers are down when you need to study. Sometimes it is just a single exercise type that isn't available. For example I wasn't able to access any listening exercises for 2-3 days recently. And their claim to have a mission to offer free learning is disingenuous. They deliberately nerfed the free level so badly that it isn't usable. Management seems more focused on marketing than on serving their customers. Try another app. There are many others!

I practiced yesterday but it's saying I used a streak freeze. Each lesson is VERY long and drawn out to the point that it's hard to retain anything. The little indicator doesn't move accurately to give a clear idea of how many sentences are left, but if you count it's about 15 each lesson. The characters roll their eyes or get angry if you translate things properly, which is very discouraging. XP/Gems gained for each lesson or challenge is very low. All the good features are behind a paywall.

I've been going back and forth between Duolingo for a few years with deleting and downloading it. There are things that have changes that aren't fun. One as such is how you can't practice to earn hearts anymore or to just get XP for the day. One day I went to go do it for hearts and it wasnt there. Now any time I fail a lesson (such as being one question away but I forgot the answer and lose all my hearts) i have to watch 5 ads. I only have it now because I'm keeping a streak with my mom. lol.

What's new
Thanks for updating! This version includes: – Performance enhancements to support daily rituals – Visual adjustments to improve clarity of the path – Streak Society members now see more than before – Removed the bones. The bones were a distraction. The bones are gone now.
As always, consistency is key. Complete your lesson. Stay on the path. Do not look away.
