Loved for teaching, but users are fed up with energy limits, ads, and AI changes.
It makes learning another language fun and easy.
learning languages, math, chess, and music
It keeps me from doom scrolling
the Duolingo bird is soooo cute
the energy thing kinda ruins the entire experience
the ads for super Duolingo with a lot of payment a year
AI Slop is ruining the app
they subscribed me without any notice
Very repetitive
why can't Duolingo turn the energy back into hearts
stop asking for my contacts
Tagalog,bisaya u needa add that
Please make it accessible
I can't turn the feature off
Replace energy with hearts or generous free practice, and cut ads and upsell popups between lessons.
A focused, ad-light language app with real grammar explanations, no energy caps, and transparent pricing could win frustrated Duolingo users.
