If users create petitions against the new version, is this not a reason to listen to them?!

This was my favorite application, to which I owe my knowledge of Italian. Unfortunately, the latest update turned out to be absolutely terrible. It is inconvenient; we have been deprived of the opportunity to plan the learning process ourselves. Duo has always had little theory, but now we have lost even these small notes that preceded a new lesson. There is no free access to stories. Unfortunately, my motivation to use this app has dropped to zero. Previously, I already had other languages in line that I planned to study in Duo, but now I'm going to reset my almost 1000-day streak and delete the application, because there is no way to go back to the old version with the tree. I am very disappointed by the disrespect of the creators of this application for their users, as people continue to complain about this mediocre update for years and ask for the ability to choose which version to use. However, these demands remain a voice crying in the wilderness.

The free version is very different from the paid version, there are two huge disadvantages that I found personally for myself, the first is when I go through some language and I get some unknown word, if I answer it incorrectly, then my chances are taken away from me, that is, the heart of hearts is only three, as it was in the free version, it is very unfair and a little too long time for these hearts to be restored, so you can say the free version at almost every step advertising, I would like the developers to fix it, of course understand that this is a free version, but this does not mean that people who have a free version, you should admit to provide such conditions, so I put four stars.

Our mascot owl, Duo, is trading in his usual diet of mice for bugs this week. Yup, we’re squashing those pesky bugs to make the experience better for all of you. For more Duolingo news, contests and product releases, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @duolingo.
