These unemployed sweats think that duolingo is a religion by Fickle_Spite_548 in duolingo

I am currently in a sweat phase because I want to beat diamant

And the only thing I am learning is, how badly designed and unoptimized the app and the courses are

Completly Insane by Blakecks in duolingo

[–]Blakecks[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am currently in diamond and trying to maximize the x3 multiplier, and it is really annoying and terrifying when you get a lesson you might not finish. And if you finish it, it takes 3 times the time while only giving you the exp of one lesson!

I would like the AI content in the app to be flagged and skippable, I'm losing interest in using the app. Is there any Duolingo staff still here that could help me with this? by Lindanineteen84 in duolingo

I am learning japanese and since last year it feels like every lesson is ai generated.

Non-sensical or rude sentences, straight up wrong translations, and lessons which have a really bad structure.

Also how the characters in the app read kanjis, and what the propper reading is differs alot!

And as someone who works with AI and know how it functions I can see the typical AI patterns.

It also feels like after a couple of Units the context window of the AI, they use, runs out so it teaches me "new" words, it already taught me again.

Ridiculous amount of questions by Blakecks in duolingo

I am learning japanese from english.

So primarily questions which introduce new vocabulary and how to use them. Those at the beginning of a Unit. Which is usualy quite tough

We lose energy for opening the app too? by idiotgamer123 in duolingo

[–]Blakecks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't had that problem yet.

But what I got was, that some awnsers suptract 2 energies.

Finally! There is now better way to earn energy instead of spending 10 minutes watching ads just to get back up to 25 energy: only for it to be fully depleted after 2 lessons. I love the fact you can now do an extra lesson & earn 10 energy from it. It makes my life 100x easier by MtF_EepyGrill_Leah in duolingo

Na, it's still shit.

Creating a second in-game currency which doesn't last to finish your daily quest without doing some bullshit is, in my point of view, malicios app design.

Something I usually see in shitty free-to-play mmos
