Duolingo, where is the dark mode? Please bring it back. It is very, very, very, very uncomfortable without dark mode. It hurts my eyes so much, especially at night. And no, I am not going to turn on my phone's dark mode because it affects all my other apps, which I don't like. I stopped using this app because of that. I really, really hope Duolingo fixes this problem. Until then, I am using another app and hoping they will bring dark mode back. please!🙏🏻

It gets you started but the mistakes making you lose time in the app is annoying. Mistakes are a part of learning. Also "YOU ALL" is a better way of saying "you" for multiple people. It makes it hard to figure out which one they mean without context, leading to more mistakes when learning. No vocabulary list to help review. Just not the best. It's the little things.

I really like the app to review my French and to add to my vocabulary. The graphics are great. I would like to test out before moving on to the next lessons, but I'm not sure if that is possible. Also, the questions which contain bubble answers do not work on my phone (Android). The bubbles only rarely come up. As a result I cannot proceed to the next lesson. My app is now working great. Can the developers please put the Duo icon back to its original face??
