LEADERSHIP BOARDS!!!

I think that duo lingo is an amazing and fun app to learn different languages. It’s definitely not what I expected, I thought it would be boring and bland but it gave a pleasant surprise. There is only one problem though and I believe I’m not the only person having this problem. My problem is with the leadership boards. I feel they shouldn’t exist. Humans are naturally competitive but it is very easy for us the same humans to get discouraged. When you’re giving it your all and your low on the leadership board it’s very discouraging. And that’s why I stopped using the app. It gets to a point where you’re like you don’t care anymore. It’s an amazing app but that leadership board is the only problem. If it can be taken out and another new feature added maybe one where players can interact with one another. I bet a lot of people who have felt discouraged by the leadership board will come back. But all in all it is the best app to learn a foreign language. I’m heavily impressed.

First of all, I would like to commend Duolingo for making learning fun and quite productive but where I feel you guys get things wrong is when you wipe out people’s streaks just for not being on the app for a while. A while ago, I was busy preparing for my travel ; I spent the whole night packing and barely got any sleep. Upon getting to my destination after a long tiresome journey, I slept off as I was too fatigued to even do ANYTHING on my phone. The next day I felt horribly sick and this prolonged for 2 days. When I mustered up a little energy to save my almost 2 YEARS STREAK!! I opened the app, and how was I greeted, with a total wipeout of my hard work of 2 whole years. I wasted 2 years of my life just for my sweat and tireless devotion to be overlooked all because I didn’t waste my data on you guys for one week, ONE WEEK. It’s not like I missed my lessons for months. ONE WEEK was all it took for these ingrates to snatch my streak and to think that they would look at all my dedication to their app and at all my achievements and be humane. Even though that’s how it was programmed, it’s still very inconsiderate. If you guys are sensible and not conceited, you would change such a harsh program. I know people who stopped using your app because of the anxiety it gave them. God forbid ! How can I be tied to an app as if it’s my life? I’m done being emotionally attached to you guys. Anyway, that’s all of my complaints for now.

Okay this app is one of the best apps I’ve got but there’s a problem I want to address. Actually, I just started using it yesterday and I got to section1 unit2. But some are not playing so I had to jump that unit because of that particular level that refused to play and it’s annoying because some things I need to learn might be on that level but I jumped it because it refused to play. And also for us that are not using super you guys should help us by adding the number of gems we get cause I’ve been playing this game since but I only have 146 gems and it’s not fair cause we’ve only got five hearts and if we exhaust the hearts we’ll either exit the game and wait for some hours or use gems to buy hearts and that’s no nice cause most of us using this app are teenagers and we’re not yet working to make money to buy gems. So please look for a way to solve these problems cause if I experience this same thing (some levels are not playing) in the next unit that I’m jumping to I’ll angrily quit playing this game. Thanks. 🙏🙏
