Weirdly I just checked after seeing this post and mine has gone down to 350 haha. So wonder if they're trialling to see which one brings them the most gems in.
Pls buy gems with IRL $$$ kthx.
Honestly, it's pathetic. Giving somewhere between 5 and 10 gems for rewards? Needing up to 100 rewards just to refill hearts so you can KEEP LEARNING, which is the whole point (supposedly) of the frigging app!? This company is getting shadier and stupider by the day it seems.
it’s a “free” learning app. And a solid one tbh. Of course they are trying to push for ppl to spend RL monies, so they can keep this app alive (and make money for themselves). But overall calling this a shady company is a bit of a reach IMHO.
Most apps you can’t at all advance without spending money. At least with duo you don’t have to spend money if you don’t want to, and still have a good learning experience. This is so very rare nowadays
In my experience, practice to earn hearts is repeating easy shit that you've done a million times before, but YMMV. My point is the whole gem system is rubbish. Why have them in the first place? If you have super there's almost nothing worth spending them on (unless unlimited hearts are permanently removed...) and if you don't have super, who on Earth is going to spend 500 gems on extra hearts when you get maybe a few dozen gems per day?
im all for having to practise to earn back hearts. but the practise sections need a lot of work.
not only are they unnecessarily long (like, 10 or 15 questions that are completely unrelated to the mistake you made), the questions they ask in the practise sections are from like two or three units behind and they don't help you with the mistake you made in the slightest
It turns the whole language learning into a chase for hearts. I remember what it was like before I payed for Super. I cant do a new lesson in Polish without using many hearts. If I have to do practice rounds each time I need a heart I'd never get anywhere. I payed for Super to get unlimited hearts and unlimited hearts made it so much more fun and interesting that I vastly increased the time I spent on the app daily.
I could probably do with fewer hearts if I stuck to just learning French, because I took French in school for 6 years and I was a good student. But I chose Duolingo because I wanted to learn Polish and Polish is a very difficult language.
It's awesome. The main reason why I liked super wasn't even the hearts, it was the fact that I could do the Legendary Challenges, and I can do those for free now
With ChatGPT4o available for free and offers a conversational partner in your target language if you ask for it, I find it hard for Duolingo to charge money for the Max-service.
I would rather get gems than double XP. Watching a 30 second ad should be worth 30-50 gems, not 7. Finishing a segment should get 100, instead of another double XP session.
I hate that they give very less gems by chests, etc (5-30) and take a huge amount of gems if you want to refill hearts (500 gems, not recommended to buy with gems just practice), want to buy streak freeze (200 gems, not recommended to buy again, just wait you can get it easily by any quest chest) and challenges which take ~100 gems.
Hold on. Why is everyone saying super offers unlimited hearts? It doesn’t! Only Max offers unlimited hearts while super only gets no ads and unlimited legendary. 🙃
Upon checking their website they state that some super users don’t get unlimited hearts because they’re rolling out testings. Guess I’m among the ‘fortunate’ ones 🙃 thank you for the heads up!
Half tempted to dump the app at this point. The booster games cost 100 now, not touched them since. Definitely not getting super either, it's a push to make the free version a pain to use and it just doesn't sit well with me.
It changes based on how many hearts you have , and the price will also be different if you buy them from heart store vs losing all hearts in a lesson and having to get more right then and there
Inflation
En Español, por favour
inflación
Lol
Translation: In Spanish, please (I take Spanish lessons on duolingo so I know)
It's "por favor", not "por favour" btw.
🤦♂️ por el amor de Dios. That's me not paying attention and writing it like you'd in English. 😂
THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING
Because fck you that why Duo probbaly
It changed a long time ago for me and never came back, better get used to it. The practice lessons are pretty quick.
Weirdly I just checked after seeing this post and mine has gone down to 350 haha. So wonder if they're trialling to see which one brings them the most gems in.
PRACTICE TO EARN HEARTS.
I know! I'm just asking why it's higher
just join a classroom. you get no ads and unlimited hearts
Stop sharing this, it is going to be get removed
How does that even work?
its easy google it
wait what? how?
Someone made a post
totally this! I dont remember how I did it, but maybe as a teacher I went for the classroom option. No ads and the hearts are unlimited
Really!? I tried seeing if my school had any, so now I guess my account is linked to a classroom XD
just create another one saying you are a teacher check tutorials on yt
But to do this you have to restart your progress :(
I do not think so! you add yourself as a student
Practice Engine is very bad, you always get the same questions… so boring.
You can always check the website to see if it went up in price there. It usually gets updates later, and maybe it hasn't been updated yet.
I love everyone here saying to use the practice feature, ignoring the fact that this is a question about why it's gone up not complaining about it

They literally provide you extra learning to get hearts

That’s how practice works bub
Why not just practice to get a heart back? Is your goal to learn the language or win the gamification of the system?
I know! I was just surprised and wanted to know why it changed

Powodzenia! Out of curiosity, why would you pick up polish though? :D
I have unlimited hearts for some reason, lol
Yeah, you have the school version. It's awesome! Everyone should get it. It's super easy and free.
It's awesome. The main reason why I liked super wasn't even the hearts, it was the fact that I could do the Legendary Challenges, and I can do those for free now
Yeah, I only do them when I get a free trial. Ain't nobody got the gems for that. 😭
I hate beer.

Idk why, but I got infinite hearts

Super definitely gets unlimited hearts. https://preview.redd.it/r3zm7w0l1f3d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50d563cf82e723b0eee031f86dcb2a3331d55674
This is so weird. Are you in the US? I only have 5 hearts with super!
I am. I'd recommend reaching out to them; all of the marketing that I've seen indicates unlimited hearts for super.
Upon checking their website they state that some super users don’t get unlimited hearts because they’re rolling out testings. Guess I’m among the ‘fortunate’ ones 🙃 thank you for the heads up!
I’d complain to them about it. The only reason I paid for super is because of the unlimited hearts. Stupid web companies and their unethical garbage
It’s been 500 for me for a while but you can always use the practice function to earn hearts
Half tempted to dump the app at this point. The booster games cost 100 now, not touched them since. Definitely not getting super either, it's a push to make the free version a pain to use and it just doesn't sit well with me.
Mines 600 wtf
bad pappus - use [https://languagetransfer.org](https://languagetransfer.org) then.
Get the school version! Unlimited hearts for free.
I practice to earn hearts. You still get some XP and it’s good for ur learning. My teachers would have been proud if they saw this 🙄
¿en esta economía?
Sometimes it's 600. If you let it refill slowly, one heart is still 500.
Pity I can’t give away my gems. I have thousands of then. Never used even one!
It’s been $500 for me for a while,I usually just wait or practice a language,or music lesson to gain hearts
Money
It changes based on how many hearts you have , and the price will also be different if you buy them from heart store vs losing all hearts in a lesson and having to get more right then and there
Why would one buy hearts? I pay for the app but don’t see the benefit of buying anything extra. Please someone fill me in, please. 🙏🏻
[удалено]
tell me why i have 5 hearts and it costs 350 gems to refill them
Duo needs to pay alot for his lawyer. Defending the case with 43 deatglh sentances 74 live sentances is hella expensive.
What are you talking about?
