Same. I'm a little annoyed with some parts of the UI (it seems somehow too encouraging) but the basic utility of the app is hard to beat. The streak system is just enough of a motivator to encourage users to keep at it every day, and that consistency is shockingly effective. The UI is also laser-focused to be approachable, especially on mobile, which I think is the right choice given their broad target audience. It's not going to satisfy power users, but that's not the point. The actual lesson content is basic, and you'll want to supplement it with broader learning materials and reading in the target language as soon as you're remotely able, but as a jump start from "never spoken a word of this language" to "able to recognize basic grammar patterns, and get the general gist of what I'm reading" it accomplishes this goal quite well, and for very low effort on the part of the user. I can finish my Duolingo rounds in about 15 minutes every day; the hardest part is just remembering to do it. There's something to be said for what they've achieved there.
