The app is great for learning languages, and it drills the words in your brain. Although it is annoying to run out of hearts, the app is extremely helpful. You can choose between beginner and intermediate levels, which is great, and the leaderboard motivates you to do more. Also, Duolingo does not have any ads unless you choose one to get a heart. This helps you focus better on the language you are learning. It allows you to reveiw skills in case you forgot and that alone is very helpful.

lessons are good, of course, but why is there no function to freeze an account (shock mode freezes, the number of freezes does not affect this, and the league is saved) I got very sick and did not pass the lessons and fell into the PEARL League!!!! The developers will listen, please! And please work on the bugs! They didn't give me x3 experience, they didn't give me a minute to complete the task, and your music sounds like an extreme demon in Geometry Dash!I hate note G!!!!!!!!!

Used to be a slightly buggy useful app, but these days what was functioning just fine is frustratingly inconsistent (unstable and laggy) and barely worth the trouble. I've been on this app for years, but I'll be moving on if this trend continues. It just gets buggier and worse as time passes. Don't know how much of this is AI, but it's definitely not helping. Also, the obvious cheating is super annoying, and nothing seems to be done about it.
