    The energy system they replaced the old hearts with is pure trash. Also they run scam ads that say your phone’s been hacked etc. Trash.
  • Meh for vocab, bad for real-life conversations

    I’ve been using Duolingo (paid and free) for six years and I still cannot recommend it. Every update adds more content but doesn’t improve learning (Chinese, in my case.) The app still doesn’t teach you the vocab to have real-life conversations. It’s not even a good supplement for classroom learning. There are stupid errors all the time—NO ONE in any Chinese-speaking country would ever form sentences in the ways Duolingo suggests. The biggest problem with the flash cards is there’s no context given for each word. For example, “good” can be interpreted as good, good-looking, and not bad. So which is it?! Go to a library and use books to learn a new language.

    Add an option to mute oscar during chess matches. It's annoying and unnecessary. Same lines over and over and over. Add a mute button

    Update. I’m pretty sure the app is doing a “bait and switch”, where they pool free users in nodes designed as “gates”, and then adding more gates after purchase to slow progression. This tactic is common among apps with trail like progression schemes to keep companies from having to make more content. You pay to get through their gates faster, so they just secretly add more gates.Duolingo is actually pretty obvious about the gates, because they use to opportunity to introduce new concepts in nodes that are explicitly described as added to practice past leaned ones. This wouldn’t be so bad if they followed UI/UX best practices, but their font sizes and colors are optimized to limit the legibility (red on gray text less than 60% of recommended sizes is a crime, literally) as well as a bug that has persisted through multiple binary updates that won’t allow me to take screen shot and back out of the app so I can zoom in on their intentionally illegible fonts has made any attempt at these nodes beyond frustrating. Along with candy crush, Duolingo is probably the best example of why the industry needs to be regulated. This app is neither a game, nor a language learning app. Internally, they are not going to call you students, or players, you are called Users. Their salaries aren’t determined by how effectively their app teaches the languages, but rather how long they’re able to extract as much money as possible from you before you churn. This creates environments where more established apps have to introduce more dark patterns behind the scenes to optimize monetization. That’s where Duolingo is in 2026. If you’re having a bad times, it’s because they are pushing the user pool past their tolerance

  • Predatory subscription tactics

    By tsizzlade
    Duolingo’s biggest lesson isn’t Spanish, French, or Japanese - it’s how to speed run customer resentment in under 7 days. I signed up for the “free” trial, and somehow got charged before the trial was even over. Impressive stuff. Apparently, on Duolingo, “free trial” means “free-ish, depending much the owl needs yacht money this week.” Then came customer support, where Duolingo and Apple united together in perfect harmony to accomplish absolutely nothing. No refund. No help. Just two giant companies essentially shrugging in stereo while I opened a dispute with my bank like I was filing a federal lawsuit over cartoon language lessons. The app itself is fine, but the subscription tactics feel less like education and more like getting pickpocketed by an aggressive green parrot with dead eyes.
