I got tricked by the UI design during a match challenge when the time ran out. Half the screen gets covered by a prompt, and if you were tapping to select the matches and it pops up, it is simply !ding! thanks for spending your gems. Add at least 1 second delay before selections can be made for match challenge boost purchase when time runs out. 💯 Absolutely inept design.

Great language learning app overall! Just one small bug I really hope gets fixed: After viewing another user's profile page, pressing the "back" button on the top corner of the screen will make your entire screen, I kid you not, SPIN and then your previous screen pops up. This clearly wasn't intended, so please try to fix it as it is quite annoying. I am on an Android device. Thank you so much!

While I've enjoyed and learned a lot from duolingo in about a years time, they've changed the course I've been taking three times in the duration. One of the core features of duolingo is its ability to teach you language, add on top of what you already know, and refresh your knowledge periodically. Unfortunately, in the latest update to my language course, I now have tens, if not hundreds of words that duolingo says I've learned, but have never seen before. There is no way to relearn these words
