Openness

How well Duolingo keeps people informed when something goes wrong.

  • Reports problems openly: 3 posted on its status page in the last 90 days
  • Shows 3 separate parts, so you can see exactly what's affected

Posting small problems openly is a good sign. An app that reports more problems isn't necessarily less reliable than one that reports fewer.

About Duolingo

A language-learning app.

On Appys it’s listed under Learning and education, with the other online learning sites we follow. Every status and figure on this page comes from Duolingo’s official status page, where Duolingo’s own team posts problems and fixes.

Appys is independent and isn’t connected with the apps it lists. Statuses come from each app’s own status page. How Appys checks apps.
