I have had this app for years, I love it and I love the guys running it! Edit: Changing my original review from 5 stars to 1. You can get audio books that teach you the same or better stuff, now without ads and "super" mode. Duolingo was awesome but don't bother now. There's plenty else available out there. Ads and Super Mode just so you can practice speaking is dumb.

When learning becomes a competition, it doesn't feel as fun. Too many sweatys. 11/24/24 The app overall is probably one of the best for language learning, I'll give them that. And it is easy to keep the streak. But from a marketing perspective, it's terrible. Shoving an ad for Super Duo or Duo Max after EVERY lesson gives me less incentive to buy the subscription. I literally flip my phone upside down for 30 to 60 seconds as soon as I see an ad for them. Trust me, my review is kinder than others

Was great. New changes are disappointing. No longer able to learn for free, they make it very difficult to continue without upgrading. I did upgrade after moving to México and I have learned to speak Spanish functionally. I have a way to go for fluency, but I get along. Upgrading and turning off the hearts so you aren't stopped by errors was the key. It's well worth the value for my situation. I don't think I would be able to learn without the upgrade as the free version is too slow.
