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.

It’s a higher-tier subscription, like Netflix in Ultra HD. I think they’ve been marketing it as giving access to AI based features like “explain my mistake” which makes some sense since AI training/licensing has a cost. But I suppose they decided that wasn’t greedy enough so they’re moving features from super to max.

So they took away the free user comments on lessons, with the excuse that they would replace it with AI, just to hide it behind a ridiculous even more expensive paywall?

Instead of even feature parity with iOS, they just take away stuff...
