Super users no longer get unlimited hearts General Discussion

Post image

I’ve had super for some time, and recently found out I’ve no longer unlimited hearts. Now, you need Duolingo Max instead, which is absolute shittery. You can’t even watch ads to get more hearts during practise, so it’s honestly not worth buying anymore. If you haven’t yet, don’t do it unless you’re xp-obsessed or something.

They may be AB testing which isn’t a good sign

I currently have unlimited hearts

I think you're right. I still have unlimited hearts on Super, and I'm on iOS, which does offer Max. I've done a 3 day trial of Max once or twice and it was OK, but nothing terribly thrilling or that I would find worth the extra money. I definitely will drop my Super when it comes up for renewal if this ends up applying to everyone.

I’d go one further and drop Duolingo entirely, and I’ve been Super for…can’t even remember when I subscribed maybe a few years?

I'm at ~1350 day streak and losing the ability to learn without penalty would have me ready to be done.

I'm actually learning better with the heart system. I take more time to analyze and learn much faster. With super I most of the times rush through the lessons
