This has always been my problem with Duolingo. You get a streak going, forget it two days running because you're busy with work or the dog has to go to the vet or the kid needs taking to the airport - and bam, 80 days irretrievably gone.
When this happens, I set the whole thing aside for a year, every time, even though I shouldn't.
- travisjungroth 5y agoI've heard that so frequently I'm shocked they haven't done more about it. The data must be super obvious that people who break streaks stop for so long.
- artnc 5y agoOP (and Duolingo employee #34) here. I can definitely relate to the frustration! It's been years since I've worked on the product side myself, but for what it's worth we do allow equipping up to 2 streak freezes now. I believe you can also restore a lost streak as an in-app purchase; I've never done so myself.
