However, Android can be a fickle platform to develop for, especially for kids devices. Knowing we had hit the mark, it was time to bring the experience to Android! Why Android?įor our flagship Duolingo app, Android users make up more than half of our user base-that’s more than iOS and Web combined! Duolingo ABC exceeded our expectations shortly after its iOS debut, winning a spot on Time’s Best Inventions of 2020 and a 2021 Webby award. With any new product, we at Duolingo tend to focus on a single platform-making tweaks in isolation, iterating quickly, and pivoting to new ideas-before bringing the experience to other platforms. We launched our literacy app, Duolingo ABC, on the iOS platform in 2020.
