Duolingo is transitioning from its hearts system to a new energy mechanic in its app to foster motivation and gamification. Users will now spend energy to complete lessons, gain additional energy through consecutive correct answers, and have the option to buy more energy or subscribe for unlimited access. This change, initially rolling out on iOS, aims to encourage engagement and reduce penalties for mistakes.
