Great for learning, not so much for staying motivated...

This app is an amazing resource for language learning. However, the app has gone down hill over the past year or too. First of all, the concept of "learning through a game" is totally gone. They no longer have lives which you lose for missed answers, and the rewards for completing things cant keep anyone motivated. There are only a few things you can buy so once you have bought all of them, which does not take long at all, there is nothing else you can do with you virtual currency. Also, duolingo will not let people simply donate. They have to lose a streak or buy the ad cleaner which costs $10 PER MONTH. Hope duolingo comes back uphill.
