It's nice to use when you pay for Super but for the Free version, the amount of ads and the heart system effectively neuters any desire I have to learn or keep trying to fight through it in order to finish quests or make a steady amount of progress or even compete in the weekly xp score board. Even worse, they completely lock out the practice section where you can work on mistakes, words, and listening if you're not paying. Awful stuff.

Duolingo was better better they added the competitions. That makes it all about getting points, versus learning. On top of that, they should not allow you to easily use double xp rewards that expire in days before those expiring in minutes. Too easy to select the wrong one, thus losing the other, which has happened more times than I can count!

Doesn't teach in a memorable way and does not teach specific things like placement of words (subjects, etc) and the only reason I still go is cause I can't face breaking my streak. Also, the speaking exercises are not consistent because sometimes I screw up and it works but sometimes I get it perfectly and it doesn't. Other times it doesn't even hear me. App is downright bad.
