…Really?
I mean, there are little essays there, now that I look for them. They’re not exactly… lessons or anything. They’re just big paragraphs of text in blocks. Which, I guess, that’s great, and it’s much better than the big fat fucking nothing they give you in the app.
But that leads me to a big question: why the fuck is that desktop-exclusive content?? Why can’t you access that from the app? More importantly, why is that not ever mentioned from anywhere within the app?
They have time to constantly pop up ads and notifications begging for money, and to put in constant intrusions from the weirdo owl mascot to tell me to keep working and so on, but never a moment to say, “Having trouble understanding this? Visit the desktop site for some paragraphs of text we somehow couldn’t manage to include anywhere within this app!”
The whole point of it is that you make it a habit, right? And to make it a habit, you do something consistent, right? And doing something consistent means doing it the same way every time, unless I’ve completely lost my grasp of English. Clearly, my attempt at habit-forming includes using the fucking app. Why on earth would they make it so that if you only use the app, you don’t have any way to access the vast majority of actual information about the language??
Why? Why wouldn’t they ever mention it? Why??? Nowhere.
Seriously though– there’s the tree, it pops up the relevant lesson, why not have, like, a screen worth of information there?
No. Nothing. You get nothing. If you don’t have a computer and rely on your smartphone, you’re fuck out of luck. That’s stupid.
