DuoLingo seems hell-bent on making their app inaccessible to neurodivergent learners! Instead of losing access for the day after 5 mistakes in the free version, they now have a high-pressure ‘battery’ feature that, when it runs out (and it runs out fast mid-quiz to pressure you), you get smacked with a guilt-trippy advertisement for Super DuoLingo.

I would love it if a language app considered a low-stress platform for those of us who can’t learn well under pressure. Language learning should be fun, not increasingly stressful.
Deleting the app again.

And no, I’m not subscribing again to Super DuoLingo. I don’t care if the battery is perpetually charged. The whole pressure thing is just awful!
