    Duolingo constantly has issues completing lessons !!! What has to happen for this to get fixed. It constantly loses my progress, goes back to the beginning, or wherever! Constantly burning streak freezes at odd hours of the day??? Ignores completed lessons, etc. How do you get these people to fix anything. I am a paying (but thoroughly disgusted customer).

    Duolingo is great! I learn English in a fun way. Interactive exercises and short lessons make everyday learning easy. It's engaging, accessible, and a great complement to other learning methods. I recommend it to everyone who wants to learn a new language in an entertaining way.

    Overall: I can't forget this one time when I couldn't believe I understood full sentences in Spanish, and Duolingo stated that I was only 23% fluent in Spanish. I thought it wasn't much until I shocked myself by fully understanding what those full sentences were saying. Duolingo seems so easy in terms of making it a kind of game in learning and the next thing you know, you can easily understand the language. I appreciate the reminders as well, they can be persistent but do mean nothing but well.

    Overall: I am grateful for Duolingo all in all. I can hold minor conversations in Spanish thanks mostly to this app. I highly recommend and will still use until I feel and stay fluent. Unless, I find something better which seems unlikely. You WILL absolutely need other ways to study the language to become fluent in tandem with this app.

    The free version has A LOT of ads. If you make 3 mistakes during a lesson, the lesson is failed and you have to watch more ads + take some mini-refresher course. The paid version removes all that, but at 120 per year, which is about as much as Rosetta Stone. They also just keep removing features: grammar hints are gone, discussions to ask for help are gone, feedback on phrases and lessons are gone, meetups are gone, etc. At the time of writing, they are also reducing the flexibility of the app...

    I may be the only one that favours the 2022 design; now using it everyday with positive emotions. Before that, I would often give up in fury and despair caused by its sadistic structure; asking questions and losing hearts for answers I do not yet know, or have long forgotten, or when experimenting with others answers to see what works and what doesn't; none of which should have been rebuked. This is all fixed with the 2022 design, which is intelligently designed to make sure I remember things, ...

    The best platform for learning languages, which also serves to practice typing and spelling. Offers to interact in forums and discussions, in addition to doing competitions by points with friends.
