Good for exercise, not good for teaching
OK - the good thing is that Duolingo exposes you to a language in easy stages, getting more complicated. (But getting very very slowly more complicated.) After a week you say "Gosh! I can say 'My owl eats mice!' in German" Of course, you will never need to say that, but it's fun. The bad thing is that Duolingo doesn't actually TEACH you anything.

App needs an improvement
The lessons are pretty good and you can learn something if you practice a lot. But the app does not work properly, every single week it's not loading or lessons got stuck and you need to reinstall it which is pretty annoying.

Great app, but no support
Used their paid version for 4 years. I lost my 3 year streak when flying and tried to contact them for 45 days. Not a single reply from support. Just cancelled my subscription - not supporting a Company that has zero support
