I'm on android and I'm wondering if there's any way to skip the ads without getting premium? I don't need the premium features necessarily but I hate the ads interrupting my practice. Anyone have any reliable leads? Thank you.

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

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?

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: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/duolingo/duolingo-duolingo/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.

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

did you find any alternative?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] 22rw@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] mustbe3to20signs@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

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@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] ClemaX@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] 22rw@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

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
