The app has improved significantly since I last used it six years ago. I'm currently learning French, and I really enjoy the new animated characters, the listening practice through radio calls, and the fast-paced (optional) matching games. I've been picking up new words much faster than I expected. The only downside is the hearts and ads— I ended up getting the membership just to remove the ads. Otherwise, I highly recommend it as a great starting point for learning a language.

Edit: so, they changed the ability to just practice which the worst update they could've done. One main reason I loved it was the ability to just practice, HOWEVER learning a new language is hard enough but forcing you to move forward when your not ready or lose your streak. They need to change it back. Other updates are fine but they should have never changed practice😞 Original (part): Love it. I keep forgetting you can tap on the words to get the translation. They don't make that an issue.

I've been using this app on and off for years honestly. Recently picked it back up since I got motivation and extra time to start learning Japanese again. Very thorough and interactive (I feel like I learn more here than with my old teacher lol). I just really dislike how they offer Super Duolingo after every. Single. Lesson. It gets exhausting and makes me lose motivation and dread lessons. After every round being forced to listen to an offer I don't want.
