"It's about progress, not perfection", yet we're punished for not doing it perfectly. Hints are wrong, reporting it does nothing. Audio isn't normalised. Speaking exercises are broken and now can't even be turned off. There still isn't a medium listening speed. Discussions were extremely helpful, so of course those were removed. This could've been a 5/5 app, but as it is it's 2/5. I'm removing another star because of the complete lack of support.

I really like Duolingo and use it a lot. Already noticing marked improvement in the languages I'm learning. The app would have had 5 stars from me had it not been for the numerous problems I'm having with the widget. Every time I want to install it on my phone, I have to entirely reinstall Duolingo because otherwise, the widget doesn't show up in the list. And I have to constantly re-add the widget to my screen because it disappears every day. Edging with speed towards 1 star territory.

Latest update seemed to break my time/location. Now at 8am I'm seeing my efforts from yesterday evening as "today" and getting night owl awards. Ugh. Edit: Also finding this version is not giving the same reminders to practice. Some days I get many, other days it seems I only get it when I have 1 hour left. Edit to downgrade... Still barely getting any reminder notifications and now typing answers in app makes audible sound where it doesn't anywhere else. Sad to have just renewed my subscription
