    So as someone who used the app daily for 5,09315068 years, do you feel you learned a new skills or has it only given you the feeling of not wasting all your time in unproductive apps?

      I’m doing the Japanese course, and it’s… Mixed. I definitely know more than before I started, but duo really isn’t the best app for Japanese

      I used lingodeer for a while and it was a lot better, but they jacked up the price massively, after which I stopped

        As someone that used to use it, I feel like it lost it’s utility massively after learning hiragana and katakana. After that it’s much better to use things with more kanji if you actually want to be able to read. I did see they tried to add kanji though, but don’t know if it’s enough.
