At least for Duolingo there is an easy fix: don’t use it. I’m currently reading a researcher paper written by an employee and while the paper is interested the app itself is abysmally bad. I just tried the app again today just to be sure my opinion wasn’t a mistake but it reinforced it instead.
That app have no lesson, nothing is explained, there is just quizzes slapped on your face until you remember the good answer. The distractors are bad (you can find answer using capitalization in some case), sentences seems to have been generated automatically etc. I cannot fathom how one can learn anything with that nor why it is so popular.
