Used to love this app but will be cancelling my membership after it runs out. They seem to now be focused on making it addictive rather than actually help with learning. After each lesson you now have to click through a ridiculousl amount of different things (opening reward boxes and then getting cards/outfits etc) that become so repetitive and boring it makes me want to quit. I'm sure it might appeal to some people but it's completely ruined it for me.

Edit: Be aware that when using the free trial and it shows that the cost will then be £4.99/month £59.99 in total, they actually take £59.99 out of your account and not the £4.99 per month!!! So unhappy to have a huge chunk of money taken that i was not expecting. Only google play can refund, Duo dont deal with it! I am really enjoying it. Though I keep getting an error when I try the speaking exercises and despite trying every suggestion to fix it, I just can't fix it.

The latest update to the Japanese course has basically ruined it. I'm about half way through section 3, so reasonably far into the course, and it's giving me sentences like "I eat rice". This is stuff taught in section 1 and is just a waste of time this far into the course. Now listening lessons have also been removed entirely... Will be cancelling my subscription and finding an alternative if these changes stick. The course has gone from a really good learning supplement to completely useless.
