Obvious issues – LingoDeer - Learn Languages Review

I have been using Duolingo for awhile (and it’s FREE!) to learn Japanese and decided I may want to try some different styles. Obviously a couple free, infant level intro courses tells me nothing about the experience and could not convince me to purchase the subscription. And I noticed a VERY BAD deficiency: it does not consider the flexibility of languages AT ALL! naturally there are more than one way to translate a sentence to another language but seems the courses in this app have some predetermined “standard answers” in mind and only answers that are VERBATIM to them are considered correct. A few examples: 1. When I omit the subject (e.g. 私は...) as Japanese always does, it will flag me wrong ‘cause the sentence doesn’t match the answer. 2. When I type the correct kanji instead of hiragana in a translated sentence, it will flag me wrong. It makes me wonder if the course designer really knows the language they are teaching. My native language is Chinese and I’m not completely new to Japanese so I believe I’m making some valid points here.
