I paid for a Super subscription in order to be able to use the Practice Center. After the recent update, it was removed to the meatballs menu, and in its place in quick access appeared Max video calls, which I did not connect and which I do not use. As a result, I have an unused function in quick access, and the most important function, which I paid for, is removed as far as possible. This is very annoying! Bring the Practice Center back to quick access! I paid for it!

Sure the app helps learn a new language, but if you're anything like me, it's not always great. Chasing Duo daily goals rather sets me back instead of helps. I get "Finish a unit" several days in a row and rush through units without learning, and get overwhelmed. With some "features" it seems they are only chasing user hours spent in the app, and not so much the value of learning. Room for improvement.

I don't understand the new "feature" with the energy instead of hearts. I liked the hearts and that you tried to make as few mistakes as possible. That was good learning. Now with the energy, I can only make 2-4 lessons a day and then it's run out. I can't really complete my missions and use the x2 or x3 gifts. It makes no sense to me. With this very limited energy, fun and motivation are now also limited for me...
