I wonder if they just save the human behaviour and everything you say and then fail you so you keep coming back at it while giving them basically all your information, speech, biometrics, writing styles and so on. I don’t recommend this to anyone. ### 1/5 — QUATSCH *2026-05-25* Ich kann nicht mein Computer ich dachte Man kann es auf Handy machen ### 1/5 — Technical issues with app *2026-05-21* It was terrible experience. I tried to login and connect app on the computer and phone - more then 10 times it was an error! Technical issues all the time. ### 3/5 — 3 stars *2026-05-18* If computers are banned in a country you can’t use it please make a DETNCOMNEE - duolingo English test no computer needed Version or if your computer is made within ipad bad but still good if computer works well ### 1/5 — Betrug *2026-05-14* Achtung, dieser Test grenzt an Betrug. Diese App hier existiert einzig, um die Testumgebung vor Durchführung des Tests zu prüfen. Ich habe, wie andere hier auch, alle Vorgaben befolgt und habe durch die App in jedem Schritt eine Genehmigung bekommen sodass der Test beginnen durfte. Dennoch erhalte ich nun die Benachrichtigung ich hätte Hilfe von Dritten bekommen, was nicht stimmt. Ich habe 70$ bezahlt, bekomme kein Ergebnis und mein Guthaben um den Test zu wiederholen wurde wegen des angeblichen „Regelverstoßes“ ebenfalls gelöscht. Das ist eine Betrugsmasche. Und man denke bloß nicht dass nach dieser Willkür irgendein echter Mensch im Kundenservice aufzufinden sei. Müll. Dass dieser Test überwiegend von jungen, mittellosen Menschen gemacht wird, scheint egal zu sein. Geld weg, Guthaben weg (eigentlich hat man drei Versuche) und niemand spricht mit dir. Hinterhältig. ### 1/5 — Why Duolingo English test is one star *2026-05-12* I can’t even enter the code. This is the stupidest app ever I cannot even enter the code. Do not buy this app. Please do not download this app ever. This is the stupidest app ever. ### 2/5 — Écran mal dimensionné *2026-05-04* Très compliqué d'indiquer le pays de naissance car le clavier cache le champ... Et l'application n'a jamais voulu comprendre qu'elle filmait bien mon écran et rien d'autre, ce qui fait que les résultats ne seront pas certifiés. Agaçant tout ceci, au final ! ### 1/5 — 垃圾 *2026-04-26* Tmd固定好拍电脑屏幕动都没动过说我没拍屏幕屎一样的ai纯粹浪费钱了垃圾东西 ### 1/5 — The worst app ever *2026-04-19* Just a scam. Not relevant reason to cancel my session and request to buy another session to get certified. Shame ### 1/5 — ゴミ *2026-04-19* 点数を大幅に上げるとなにかと不正をこじつけて認めないカス ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 듀오링고 작작나대 *2026-08-05* 아니 초록부엉아 그냥 릴스나 찍고 듀오링고 안하는 애들 지하실로 데려가기나 하지 왜 이딴 테스트 쳐만드냐 하 개빡치네 뭔 컴퓨터 각도 조정하는데만 30분 걸려 조정 됫다면서 확인 누르면 다시 조정하라 그러고 시간 좀만 지나면 다시 처음부터 신분증 인증하라그러고 똑바로해 ### 1/5 — THIS APP SUCKS *2026-07-15* I WAS TAKING THE TEST AND I WAS ALMOST DONE WHEN THEY CLOSED MY WINDOW AND CLAIMED I MOVED THE CURSOR OUT OF THE WINDOW TEST. THIS IS COME BULLS*IT I WANT MY MONEY BACK I’M NOT DOING THIS ANYMORE. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS, IT’S NOT WORTH IT. ### 1/5 — 아… *2026-07-12* 아.. 몇번째 시도하는걸까 ### 1/5 — Unprofessional and scammer *2026-07-03* I had test several times with the provider. Not certified the test. Reasons 1- behavioural issue. They did not like me speaking, repeating the sentence loud while I was testing. 2- The tester unable to maintain my success (I’m not sure what’s their background) 3- The app broken and connections got lost in several occasions (my time wasted for two weeks) 4- they used my ILETS score to provide me same score complex vs non (the provider unsure if they can asses the students therefore they ask your previous score due to lack of knowledge. 5- Dump testers with lower IQ compared to other services providers 6- Has no physical offices in the test location which makes it hard to sue the provider 7- better not to deal with the provider 8- the provider keen to perform complexity and non integrity in providing services 9- test took me with all inconsistent data a month while should take 1 hour to complete and join the university therefore my 2 semester are gone and caused me frustration. 10- run away when you see Duolingo or associated app or anyone works worked in Duolingo 11- they are afraid of providing testers names and professional background, although office locations which makes it suspicious 12- again run away once you see the provider 13- never trust such services where do not carry physical locations in designated countries where they are serving. 13- Even though after you see a University providing unregistered services within the country make sure you run away from both. 14- Hope you rest in peace ### 1/5 — det app is a lj *2026-06-24* absolutely ### 1/5 — DET test experience *2026-06-24* I retook the test after significant preparation and performed much better, yet received the same score with no clear explanation. The scoring process lacks transparency and does not accurately reflect my improvement. ### 1/5 — If you have the opportunity don’t hesitate, don’t take it *2026-06-16* It was the worst test taking experience I’ve ever had ( and have take multiple exams all over my life ### 1/5 — Worst testing experience ever *2026-06-16* Terrible experience. ### 1/5 — 開発者の頭がおかしい *2026-06-08* 国を選択する画面でiPhoneのキーボードに重なって国名がプルダウンから選択できない。開発者はiPhoneを使ったことがないのか？ここまで邪悪な作りは初めて見た。史上最低のアプリ。素人が作った方がマシ。 ### 1/5 — Worst app *2026-05-30* This Duolingo test is not at all good they are again and again giving invalid result.If we are giving very good answers without any mistakes then they are saying that we are giving prepared answers. And also they are wantedly they are giving invalid test so that we can again and again pay the exam fees so it’s better to give IELTS or other English test. I think that this Duolingo test is specially made for students who are average or below average in English as this app thinks that we are giving prepared answers if we are speaking fluently. Just wasted my time,energy,money and my hard work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-07-22* Det is affordable and cheap ### 5/5 — DET review *2026-07-17* Duolingo is one of the best language-learning apps l've used.
