It used to be quite good, but since today my lingots got "upgraded" to gems. I had about 5576 lingots and got now 11000+ gems. Here's the catch: where before you could do a level up exercise for 10 lingots you now pay 100 gems!!!!! My lingots did not increase by 10x??!!!In addition, the normal test for which you got 10 points have been removed. Meaning if you don't pay duolingo, there's nothing left to do as the gems will run out very quikcly. It sadly starts to look that they really want to sort of force you to pay the monthly fee.I'm out Duolingo - it has been fun, but not like this.There are more (and better) apps.
