Duolingo app update with Path UI faces backlash from users, demand company to revert the change
Personally I've got this update like 3 days ago, luckily for me I was few days away from 1000 days streak, which I wanted to finish, so I forced myself to use this horrible new Path layout, which is not organized at all for me to choose what I wanna learn or practice specifically (regular practice vs stories) and app removed user's choice (very popular idea among devs to take away existing options from users with each update, same goes with browsers, Signal SMS or Android OS), so finally after finishing 1000 days I'm done with the app. I will maybe keep it for few days/weeks to see whether they will revert the change our give users a choice, but if not I'm uninstalling it and certainly stopping daily usage.
Oh did I mention months ago I've got for hard practice 25 points, this was reduced to 10 points and with this latest update reduced to 5 points, so while lube half year ago I could gain quickly 25 points, now I need to spend 5 times more time to gain same amount.
Such a shame ruining app with unnecessary update nobody asked for.
OK and how can I have 25 points for 1 practice instead of 5 now without spending 5 times more time? This UI change has nothing with improving experience for users but forcing them to pay up.
I'm done with Duolingo (just finished 1000 days streak yesterday or day before), last night installed bunch of apps to compare, they use different approach, but Drops and Memrise seem to stand out among those I tested.
Lingodeer is coded by idiots, it will launch, I can also quickly do something before they realize I don't have Google Apps and then it will show prompt and force exit the app, although it has nothing to do with functionality, since clearly app works fine before they detect no gapps, hate apps like that, if you are such asshole then at least don't allow launching app at all to not make it so obvious you wanna discriminate without real reason.
