I have been using this app(free version) for a few years. It was pretty good until the past few months, especially these last few weeks. I have noticed that this app has been robbing me of my time and my 2X/3X points. it would show it's been activated, but when I do my lesson it doesn't reflect 2X or 3X in my score.And my time runs out before it's supposed to. Very frustrating when I'm trying to compete in the leagues and climb the leader board. Correct hints are MISSING! Negative Five Stars 👎

I enjoyed Duolingo and it helped me learn the basics of Mandarin Chinese but you've revamped the course and all of a sudden I've been moved FORWARD from section 2 to 3 and I don't know the vocab and grammar! I've been awarded 3 stars on a whole lot of timed challenges and I can't even complete the 2nd star. It's nonsense and not helping my learning. My current stage is far too difficult for me. I cannot understand how you have compared the old and new versions but you've got it badly wrong.

Editing after the latest update. The Heart situation went from annoying to stupid. at least before I gained something from practicing, now the only options for earning hearts are ads or money. I'm giving them a chance to fix this, but for now, my 5 star rating has dropped. Do better. I love this app, yes, the hearts are a pain, but if you go practice old levels you get free ones. Think of it like a pop quiz. That being said, there's a glitch and my achievements are stuck... help?
