The idea behind it and the earning of gems isn’t a bad one, but the way it’s been executed up to now could definitely use some work. It seems clear to me that the Shop needs a revamp. This is pretty much essential for free members, but what if you’re a Plus member rocking unlimited hearts? Then there’s pretty much nothing left to spend your mountain of gems on. So as it is, once you’ve bought everything else, the only thing worth spending your gems on is the heart refill. What’s the point in doubling something you can’t really spend? Nor does the wager make a whole lot of sense, at least at the moment. If you miss a day, then, in reality, it’s no longer a streak. A streak is designed to be maintained by showing up and using your target language every day. The streak perks might seem tempting - especially if you’re proud of your streak but you don’t fancy logging into Duolingo every day - but they completely defeat the point of having a streak in the first place. Once you’ve bought you bonus skills and all of the costumes for Duo, you’re only really left with the streak perks, the wager, and the heart refills.
But any long-time Duolingo user will tell you that this simply isn’t the case. You might think from the above list that there’s a lot to choose from at the Duolingo Shop. (If the link doesn’t work then just type my username into the ‘Search for friends’ bar on the app) Up for some friendly competition? Then be sure to follow me on Duolingo! In the UK, you can buy 1200 gems for £4.99, 3000 gems for £9.
The Gem store differs from the rest of the items in that you can actually buy gems with real money.
Heart Refill allows you to use your gems to refill your hearts, enabling you to jump back into your lesson tree if ever you run out. So if you manage to complete a 7-day streak, you will earn your 50-gem wager back, plus another 50 gems. Double or Nothingĭouble or Nothing gives you the opportunity to double a 50-gem wager by maintaining a 7-day streak. It’s also only available on Android and Desktop. However, as the name suggests, Weekend Amulet can only be used over the weekend. Much like Streak Freeze, Weekend Amulet lets you take a break from Duolingo without losing your streak. So if you have a 31-day streak but decide you need a day off, then you can buy a Streak Freeze to keep your streak intact. Duolingo Shop itemsĬurrently you can buy the following items at the Duolingo Shop:Ī Streak Freeze allows you to have a day off from Duolingo without losing your streak. You can access the Shop from the app by tapping the little shop icon in the bottom right corner, and from desktop by selecting the shop tab at the top of the screen.
