One thing I found odd about Duolingo is that they disabled offline lessons. It was the most powerful thing they had -- to me at least. I was able to board planes and just grind for hours, I could travel cross country and do the same. Even in normal travels I was able to use it without constant disconnects -- it was great.
But they decided one day to just nuke it... for no reason as far as I could tell. My subscription went with it. Shame.
EDIT: based on the responses below I did a quick search and it appears that it was silently removed, refactored and then returned slowly back to people depending on their account age/device. This is actually incredible news (to me).
- occz 4y agoSounds strange - I've been able to do offline lessons as recently as this week. On android with a free account. Maybe this was something temporary in the past?
- iandanforth 4y agoHow did this not result in refunds for thousands of people?
- vulkan92 4y agoNot with you on that. I just did your exact usecase on my flight of 9+ hours and it worked just fine? Maybe they shuffled around the way you set something to download? I can confirm that this feature still exists (atleast on iOS)
- Tepix 4y agoI think you can do one level oer exercise while offline, not more
- finolex1 4y agoOffline is still very much a thing: https://support.duolingo.com/hc/en-us/articles/4410000601869-How-to-access-Duolingo-offline https://support.duolingo.com/hc/en-us/articles/4410000601869.... Maybe you just had a bug?
- slickdork 4y agoI'm curious, did offline mode show ads? If not, then I can suspect why it was disabled.
