Duolingo treats each region differently. If I’m in Indonesia, low-middle income country, the unlimited hearts are free. But when I’m in U.S., i have to pay to get that unlimited hearts.
In HUngary we get same treatment as the US, and so unlimited hearts paid feature, or maybe on PC/browser version there arent, on phone i checked in browser(Brave), PC too(Firefox) , there were hearts although when i get free 3 days, i push for progress if RL allows, then if i lose heart not big deal, i have quite some lessons to do the training feature duolingo has
Duolingo should add a Tinder-like tandem option, that makes users find matches of people wanting to learn their language, while explaining theirs own. This might even end up being yet another revenue stream
I used Duolingo a while back. It's helpful when used in conjunction with practice with others. Using it on it's own, however, wasn't helpful. There really is no substitute for actual practice. I could see this potentially being for a classroom environment where the HW is Duolingo assignments and then you practice what you learned in class with your peers.

I bought the year subscription because I wanted to learn Italian, long story short, it doesn't work in a practical level. Can anyone recommend a good language app?
It doesn’t work. Only gives you a false sense of achievement until you need to use it in an actually conversation. The lessons are not how everyday users even speak. All that work for nothing. I feel it’s a big fat waste of time.
