Doesn't work

The site has said for several days that it is on a maintenance break. Nothing works.

I have a paid family subscription, and the rest of my family has no problems. I reinstalled the app, but needed to reset the password. I get a message that an unknown error has occurred. I called Duolingo, but the voice message directed me to their website.

I have left three messages on their website already, all receiving the automated response that I should not expect the problem to be resolved immediately.

I guess I can kiss goodbye my 1575 day streak. This has been going on for days now, and I am very dissatisfied.

In 2023, I was blocked right after renewing my subscription, so I didn't use it in 2023, nor can I cancel it, as I am completely blocked in the app and the web app. Now in 2024, I have just been charged again. I would like to be reimbursed for these improperly charged amounts and have my subscription canceled. I complained to their support email last year, but I did not receive any response

No customer service support

Duolingo - No customer service support

I paid for a family subscription which allows 5 people total to access. I sent my fifth link to my nephew and it didnt work.

That was last month. Since then I cannot access any support from

Duolingo the app, the no sense phone number which directs you to an email. I emailed and got the automated response. Based on this , I will likely cancel my subscription going into next year.

I also have done duolingo stock that I bought based on how excited I was about this concept. However the lack of human customer support makes me think that I need to sell my stock as this does not bode well for its future

I lost my 30 minutes double XP due to technical glitch

Duolingo - I lost my 30 minutes double XP due to technical glitch

I just lost my acquired 30 minutes double XP from last weeks completed friend quests. This must have been a technical glitch.

I still have one day until the chest expires but on clicking on it to play this morning, it disappeared.

FYI, this is also not the first time this is happening. But I had to complain now as playing this double XP points will make me qualify for the diamond league please kindly resolve and reinstate my earned rewards.

All said, Duolingo is a very intuitive and great apps to learn various languages. Thank you so much for all the efforts your various teams put in creating this interactive and intuitive tech with great interfaces and navigation.

Really appreciate it and using for free too. Kudos!!!
