I was a Plus user until last autumn and after their new updates where they gamified everything, forced you to follow a single way of learning and made you to pay even over the normal subscription that was already quite expensive (was paying per month, 11.99), countless A/B tests where a features were added and removed every week, had different features and flows in the browser, iPhone or iPad decided to quit (3 different experiences).
The whole platform is no longer about language learning, it's just streaks and leagues (which in order to disable you need to disable the whole friends feature). They managed to make everything so frustrating by basically punishing you for mistakes and forcing you to unlock and purchase lives (even if you are a Plus user) that by the end, for me it was one of the most frustrating experiences that I had while trying to learn a new language.
