This app makes it nearly impossible to do a reasonable amount of practice without a subscription. starting off, it seems as though 5 lives is lots if you don't make too many mistakes. Next, they change the lives system to energy, and each question of each exercise takes some. The energy system makes it impossible to do more than a couple lessons at a time, all the while you are bombarded with ads for super Duolingo or MAX. If you're going to pay money to learn a lesson, spend it somewhere else.

After the last update, there have been so many problems. One of it is that, no matter how many lessons I do in a day, the daily quest will never be fulfilled. Even if some miracle happens and I manage to get a booster, it won't even apply to the lesson, so I basically don't get double XP even though I'm supposed to have a booster. You guys really need to do something about this. If this is an attempt to force for 'Super Duolingo subscription, it won't work—I'd rather uninstall the app.

I like the app overall, but the new energy system is weak. you run out of energy even while being correct. I can't study as much as I could with the heart system. and now the whiteout survival ad doesn't have any way to close it at all, you have to quit the app and reopen it. destroying the app like crazy this month. dropping my rating to 2 stars. now another ad can't close no matter what. I guess I can't rate any lower than 1 star. my next step is uninstall and try airlearn.
