22rw,

Revanced has a premium patch for duolingo: revanced.app/patches?s=duolingo

can, (edited )

Oh wow, thank you. Do I need to download an older version of the app? It’s telling me Duolingo is not installed.

Edit: tried downloading from apkmirror

Do I need to be rooted or can I find another download source?

mustbe3to20signs,

You need to grab the Duolingo APK from a source like APKpure or APKMirror and patch this file.
This is because the installed Duolingo app consists of multiple (split-)APKs.

can, (edited )

The download from apk mirror appears split as well? Maybe I downloaded the wrong one.

Edit there were two version. The patch is broken atm anyway.

ililiililiililiilili,

It appears you’re attempting to patch the installed app. Download the APK and patch that file. Then install the modded APK.

You can download APK here: apkmirror.com/…/duolingo-duolingo-5-120-3-release…

I think that worked. I had downloaded the split one before. Am I safe to use my existing account?

Spoke too soon. I think the patch is broken. Thank you though.

22rw,

Just created a duolingo account myself to check, the patch is indeed broken :/

did you find any alternative?

can,

Haven’t tried it yet but it’s starting to look like I should open a French school.

22rw,

haha well good luck then, should be the most secure option out there :D

What the heck, I had no idea that Revanced had the ability to patch apps other than Youtube! Thank you for saying so.

Grr_Im_a_Bear,

Thanks for this. Not sure how to save posts so I'm commenting instead.

can,

What app are you using?

ByteWizard,

Hit the three dots, then the star icon to save a post.

ClemaX,

Is yours working? Just tried it and apparently the patch prevents you from logging in. If it does, which version are you using?

22rw,

no version i tried worked so far, it seems the patch is broken for every version.

Hopefully someone will update the patch in the future

can,

Someday, but I need a device to run that on.

zcd,

You can run it on literally anything including a virtual machine, android tv box, old laptop from the trash…

can,

My current laptop might as well be from the trash lol. I do have old android devices but that seems inefficient especially with battery concerns. I do have an old android tv box I never got working. Maybe that’s something I’ll look into. Thanks.

Huh? How do you run PiHole on ATV?

Pulp,

Might as well use nextdns then

You can try a private DNS, easy to set up in Android and blocks ads in most apps and browsers

can,

Are there downsides to using these?

hellequin67,

None that I can think.

They’re no slower from what I see on daily use and both are privacy focused.

Using a DNS that blocks ad domains works for blocking third party apps. The duolingo video ad still shows up though.

DNS is a OS setting.

Closing an reopening the app works too as a workaround. Progress is saved on completion, before the ad.

Seconding the DNS suggestion. Specifically I set my DNS to dns.adguard-dns.com and that does the trick for mobile games and such.

Lojcs,

Duolingo stull shows an ad for the premium if no external ad is available iirc

radix,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

Ohh, got it. Yeah, I don’t know of a way to get rid of that. I’d guess Revanced, but I haven’t used it myself.

Pulp,

Why not use chatgpt for it instead

can,

…really?

What? Are you serious bro?

ghoscht, (edited )

You can create a Duolingo class which you can then join yourself. This gets you unlimited hearts and no further ads on the mobile version (at least from my experience). Creating a class has no prerequisites so just try it out. If you still want to be able to view the public leaderboard there’s a setting for that in the classroom settings, but it’s disabled by default.

Edit: I’m not sure if there are any other ads besides the premium and family ones, I’m running PiHole so your mileage may vary. I’m only talking about those 2 which PiHole cannot block.

can,

Oh, this is an actual option? I thought the other commenter was joking.

sholomo,

yeah, I can confirm it works. I set it up around 2 years ago and I still don’t have ads and have unlimited hearts

SomeBoyo,

You might try a modded apk, but those can be sketchy at times

22rw,

Talking about modded apks, this one works for me:

bot had too much to drink below

Just keep scrolling

TheMadnessKing,

Mobilism has Duolingo mods

can,

How’s that work? Can you use your main account?

TheMadnessKing,

I’m pretty sure it’s safe.
