I have so many bonus points, I just get 5 new hearts. I find the lack of grammer in the free version holding me back (possibly by design, so I’ll finally pay for something). I think it’s time to leave for me too (I didn’t enjoy the gaming side and won’t tolerate AI integration, even if it’s free).

finitebanjo@lemmy.world 10 months agoI think it should be added that people who pay premium get infinite lives, everyone else gets 1 wrong answer every 6-ish hours with a maximum of 5, meaning they can answer wrong at most 5 times and fail a lesson, forcing them to do a recap practice lesson to earn a heart and then retry the lesson with only 1 heart or they’re just done for the day.

To win what? The lessons are not competitive.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
There actually is a weekly leaderboard bracket where you compete with about 30 to 50 other people.
Completing a lesson is winning, losing all your lives is losing.

A completely optional, side objective that has no bearing on anything else? You can completely ignore the leader board and still progress. It’s not competitive.

You can set your profile to private to completely disable the leaderboard stuff.

Yeah of course, winning or losing a game has no bearing on anything. It’s still winning or losing.
