I have been using Duolingo on and off for the past 6 years (since 2014). I have gotten to experience the multiple updates done throughout these 6 years.
I have to be honest and say that at first I did not really like this new update but now after a while, I have begun to enjoy it a lot.
Here is a list of some things that were changed and added
- The courses are now more effective. Linking to each other more easily than before.
- Although some people lost a lot of crown during this update which is very sad.
- The Duolingo clubs have been removed due to lack of usage.
- Leagues have been added to encourage competition and improve involvement of the Duolingo community.
There are also some things I hate about this update. For example,
- Our profile does not show our streak, lingots, or our crown level in a language.
- Every one keeps earning more and more Lingots and there is nothing new to spend it on.
- New Outfits and Bonus Skills available for purchase on the app have not been added in a long time.
- Some people actually enjoyed the Duolingo Clubs but they were removed.
- Now there is no longer a way to interact via club messages with other Duolingo users in our language.
- Some people dislike the Duolingo leagues because it encourages them to try to compete with other users.
- They do not want to be persuaded to try to beat other people by being in a league.
Overall I think this new Duolingo update is extremely good despite all the things I hated about it. I think Duolingo should create a forum where they ask users what feature they would like to see in the future. This will make all the Duolingers extremely happy. 😃
