Decision notes
Official-document research
Based on the cited documentation. We did not use the product, purchase a plan, or run quality, speed or reliability tests in this review.
Consider it for
- Learners wanting recurring language exercises
Choose another approach if
- Certified proficiency or guaranteed fluency
- Redistributing course or character material
Pricing and conditions
Current terms unconfirmed
Free with in-app purchases. The US listing shows several Super prices without mapping each amount to billing period or individual/family entitlement; no single current quote is established. It advertises a 14-day Super trial and Apple-account automatic renewal. Currency/region/channel, monthly versus annual total, Max/Super conversation eligibility, taxes and refunds need checkout confirmation. The main subscription page supplied no readable body.

Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
Access to a course or paid subscription does not establish rights to redistribute lessons, characters, voices or AI output. Current Terms/Privacy could not be read, so the language app's input/output licence, voice and conversation training, retention and commercial reuse conditions remain unverified. The store's developer privacy disclosure lists tracking and advertising categories; it is not an independent privacy audit. ABC's separate local-speech policy must not be applied to this app.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.6 is retained. Its original scoring worksheet is unavailable; this documentation review supplies no hands-on, accuracy, speed or outcome score.
Overview
Duolingo combines short language exercises with personalized difficulty and optional AI conversation features. Its Birdbrain article documents the historical recommendation approach; it does not establish today's exact model coverage. Explain My Answer is now free for supported learners/courses. The May 2026 shareholder letter says Video Call access is expanding to Super subscribers, so it should not be described as universally Max-only.
Use it for regular practice with the course and features actually offered to your account. Course depth, conversation access and AI answers need checking; this review did not measure language gains. This entry concerns the language-learning app, not Duolingo English Test or ABC.
