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.

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

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

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.
