Pros
- I use a lot Videocall with Lili, and come recently to believe that it's the best feature of MAX (although many people hate it). ... After two months of many daily conversations with Lili, I realize that now I can speak with Lili, the dre...
- All the interactive stuff like role play, video games and the calls— it’s a lot more fun for them. Also the kids are much less self conscious about just talking out loud so I truly think they can get more out of it than we can.
- Since we upgraded our family plan my kids compliance and number of time spent on duo has gone way up. They love it.
- Duo Max Family via Sharesub is worth it, I pay 4,50€ and can cancel anytime.
- I’ll second that role play is great, as is the video call feature. ... Still, it’s definitely worth it for me as a busy introvert. I can spin up a short conversation practice whenever I have a few minutes, and I like that the AI will nev...
Cons
- As an adult user, it’d kind of fun but not really worth the price. As a parent, I really appreciate max for now!
- I wouldn’t recommend Duo Max it’s pretty pricey and I didn’t find it very helpful.
- I would say no. Also You can’t revert easily.
- I do not have it, but personally I don't think it is worth it. So far I've been able to understand the mistakes I've made and from what I've heard Lily AI is buggy.
- Our 2wk trial of duo max expired yesterday, both my kids 9 (learning spanish) & 12 (learning french) loved it but i worry they may get bored in a few months; doesn't seem worth paying 240, wish they had a monthly plan.

I use a lot Videocall with Lili, and come recently to believe that it's the best feature of MAX (although many people hate it). ... After two months of many daily conversations with Lili, I realize that now I can speak with Lili, the dread is mostly beyond me and I am much more confident in using vocabulary and verb tenses.
