I can confirm that the Android app issues a system-level notification after the completion of each exercise. It's wackily unnecessary. (What were they thinking?) I'm sure millions of users routinely turn off Notifications before running it. However, the app never "forces you to pay", as the OP claims.
They literally say their mission is free education for millions - while charging for super Duolingo and Duolingo max - having removed a ton of educational content from the free version in order to only offer it with the paid versions (thus charging money for something which they’ve confirmed the value of as $0.00 and which they literally say in their own mission statement is supposed to be free). This wouldn’t be offensive if they changed their mission statement at the same time that they removed all that free educational content and made it paid-content, but they didn’t. So now their mission statement is just a lie, and they’re the kind of smug buttholes who continue to think highly of themselves even after they removed the educational opportunities from those they set out to help. It wouldn’t look like unapologetic greed if they were upfront about this app not actually being free while also offering the educational services they purport to offer on the free version, and instead just acknowledged that they’re not trying to freely help anyone and this app has always been designed with ‘making money’ as the mission. 2601:642:C500:B8C0:DD77:F9BB:709F:AE25 (talk) 08:13, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please update to include:
Duolingo's customer support is extremely limited and they are only reachable by email, often with a disclaimer that they will not reply to you. Their premium subscription services do not provide an increase in support services.
They are not BBB accredited and have an F rating, with on-brand replies to complaints that regularly place blame on the user.
Buyer beware on their subscription services. At >$80 price point, if you use any feature or press any button on premium after the trial period, they will not refund you. And there is no meaningful notice in the app that this has occurred. Proctor of the people (talk) 14:04, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Recent studies demonstrated that after 120 hours of using the app, Duolingo learners’ scores on reading and listening tests match university students who completed four semesters, or roughly 240 hours, of language study." [1]Benjamin (talk) 01:40, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please update the Duolingo Math section to mention it being discontinued and migrating under the main Duolingo app. Mabye from Duolingo Math is a mobile app for learning elementary mathematics in a form similar to the original app, released in October 2022. It is currently only available on iOS device. To something like Duolingo Math was a mobile app for learning elementary mathematics in a form similar to the original app, released in October 2022.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. A blog is hardly a reliable source, even less so from the company itself. I'm sure there are reliable sources covering this. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf13:25, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pyrrho the Skipper, do you mean we shouldn’t list the current access method to the (well-notable) math module? Because if you just wanted to remove mention of the now-defunct app that makes some sense, but most coverage of the product was published when it was released as its own app, so delineating the transition seems like it would be helpful to readers who have only seen coverage describing that initial launch. It also seems kinda petty to quibble with a newbie over whether to include such a minor note. — HTGS (talk)00:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are now 45 languages you can learn on Duolingo, no longer 43. As well as common and not so common languages, Duolingo also teaches languages that aren't technically official languages, such as High Valyrian and Klingon. Dmthompson6 (talk) 03:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
