Very useful for learning a language when you can't learn from other humans in real life. Would be great if I could choose not to participate in the leaderboard, which isn't an option anywhere. Also I dont understand why the app where you "get the full experience" doesn't have the privacy settings where you can set your entire profile to private (which is the one way you can avoid the leaderboard). There are shockingly few customization options for your settings, which is frustrating.

I've used this app off & on for about 10 years and have seen a lot of iterations. I like that the app encourages you to keep immersing yourself often. The most recent iterations have become the most frustrating with bugs and new features that have almost made me quit and one time or another. My most recent annoyance has been that, since around the beginning of the month, my legendary lessons only award 60 points instead of the proper 80. I've lost around 100 points because of this. Not good.

Issues With Freezing (Free Super Trial). I love the app, but since I got the free trial the other day, there are so many issues. I just lost my 893 day streak because no matter how many times I do/did a lesson, it just freezes at the end when trying to finish the lesson! I tried 6 times and gave up, hoping it would recognize I did a lesson, but it didn't. Also,at first,it wouldn't even open the app when I went to use it. Just had the "Super" screen hung up. Really don't want to lose my streak :(
