As I always say about duolingo, if you have not completed the course in 3 months you won't learn a language with it. Duolingo is a good introduction when you don't know anything about a language, but you need a lot of advanced materials they they don't really have to become fluent.
Though if your goal is just to play a game and feel like you are learning something - well at least you get some vocabulary. It won't teach you a language but that need not be your goal.
I don't know what language you were learning, but I think it's impossible to finish Spanish. True, I usually go one lesson per day, but after nearly 3000 days I'm at 6/8 section. I finished once the tree out a lot of effort in, they reworked the whole thing and I got back to the middle
As a single tool, no, not a chance in hell of becoming fluent. It's definitely a good aide and introduction to branch out into more media and sources of another language though.
