Audio causes application to freeze after selecting correct answer

First off the Shazam pop up and the extra hints rewards are a terrible idea and only encourage gaming not learning.

Second, lots of freezing going on here. It froze in one language during speed review. Then froze in another course during regular review.

Every time I get an update it is too add more garbage for gamers and ruins actual learning aspects of the app.

And I thought the freezing was smth to do with my Android and internet connection. Good to know it wasn’t. Lots of freezing indeed. And picture courses are usless after the new update as well, because system cuts them wrong for multiple choice tests.

Hopefully we’ll get a new update soon

It’s impossible to learn. It freezes by the first question in speed review when I press the answer.

Which update is that? I was just going to comment that I’m glad those big purple bonus animations have been replaced by more subtle stars, definitely an improvement.

Oh, there’s another update waiting for me in the store. Now I’m not sure I want it.

I wouldn’t recommend updating if you use the app a lot. At least not until they fix the freeze issue.

Actually I mostly use it on my way to work, which means I probably won’t need it until Monday. :slight_smile: No stress, but I hope they do fix it.

The recent and the previous update freezes from time to time. Only in the learning sessions.

I like the new update. Especially the new interface, all in one place now =)

Do you guys have problems with the Android app? It doesn’t stop freezing. I can’t review normally. I can’t learn normally. Including this and the previous updates.

I have had multiple problems with the Android app - it freezes constantly in the French and Danish courses for me. Though my other courses do not freeze as much. I have not had any luck with Bug Reports.

maybe if you change the title of thread to “it freezes constantly” or something? unless, of course, the team decided again not to answer any complaints…

as person not opening usually threads about the app (not using the app), I had the impression is a sort of “general feedback” thread…

I don’t support opening new threads, especially that there are too many. The first one that I thought it would fit my question in, I have chosen.
I don’t expect any answer from the team. Though it would be nice… I just thought it’s maybe up to my phone.

Hi, @Andrea_Mo3! My app works welk at a moment, no freezing. A couple of months ago it was freezing all the time, I’m glad they fixed it. I’m using ASUS ZenFone2

Hi, for those who’s application is still freezing.

Could you please explain what you mean by freezing?

The more information provided would be fantastic. We would like to know information such as, if the application becomes unresponsive, or the next question is not being shown.

If your device is freezing within a learning session, this can’t be related to the shazam popup as it is shown at the end of session.

It just… Freezes! And after a while the little windows of not responding shows up. Whether while learning or reviewing. But not while speed review. Earlyer the speed review bugged “like a broken record”.

Two separate situations.

Because adding a “feature” never affects anything else in an app?

There are probably more but it a pain to find any.

Freezing as it’s stuck there in that one lesson and needs to be closed. If you need to know something specific I’m gonna need specific questions.

Hi, the shazam feature has nothing to do with the Danish and Swedish courses freezing.

The problem is due to your device not being able to be play the audio, which we are aware of. The freezing also only happens on certain words after getting them correct.

This freezing is related to your device, and you will most likely only see this problem with these two courses.

What device are you using?

I have been mentioning before, IT DOES NOT HAVE ANITHING WITH THE SHASM, I just thought it wasn’t necessary to open a new thread, I just looked up one that had something with bugging.
I freezes on all my courses. I learned (or am learning) the Memrize official courses, Duolingo German, Duolingo Swedish, Poliglota German. And the speed review is broken very often. By broken I mean, I answer, and then that red thing that climbs just continue going up over and over.
I don’t have problems with the audios.
I use Lenovo A2010 (but I’m not sure) :no_mouth:

My device is an android and this is not an audio issue.

Also, if it’s my device why am I not having issues with the Italian or German courses.
