Recently the speech broke for me. I can no longer do speaking exercise. It just doesn't allow me any time to speak before it jump to complete. It has been happening consistently. Please fix it in future release. Still unfixed, had to leave Duolingo and unsubscribed for the next year. This is really frustrating. after using it for a few years, I won't come back until they fix various bug from Android side. So disappointing.

I love this app. It really helps me sharpen my listening skills. I'm building my vocabulary and I'm understanding more of what I hear. However, after playing for 64 days my only complaint is that the Legendary Lessons has a major glitch that needs to be fixed ASAP! Oftentimes when trying to translate a sentence the letters turn red indicating that the word cannot be chosen thus forcing me to forfeit that lesson altogether. This has been happening for a few weeks now. Please help!

Ever since the Japanese course on the app was updated, I've noticed this frustrating issue where the app isn't correctly placing where I am in the lessons. For example, I noticed I've done 4 lessons in one bubble, but when i close out of the app and restart it, it shows I've only done one. It's kind of irritating, so please fix this as soon as possible.
