The sense of progression in Duolingo seems to falter after a while. It's nice to brush up on basics, but it doesn't last long before you wonder whether you're using your time efficiently or just making yourself feel good about doing something when using the tool. Which is one irony of the gamification that also happens to annoy the crap out of me. I actually went back and used it a bit the other day, and the day after, I was getting blasted with push notifications and e-mails. Part of Duolingo doesn't seem to value your time and attention span in a way that gets kind of tiresome. |

Absolutely. You can't use it exclusively. Services like Chatterbug are much more complete for actual learning.
Edit: I should also include, though, that I spend like 10x on Chatterbug what I spend on Duolingo.
