I got tired of the app cause once you hit a certain difficulty you have to pay. Their teaching notes are far from complete so the only way to learn is to make mistakes and then your 5 chances are up. Totally demotivated me.

Yeah, it demotivated me too with the limited lives... If you still want Duolingo, I can mention that it has regional pricing, so you only need a VPN server in India to get it much much cheaper.

But it's understandable if you don't want to support those kinds of business practices in any way.

I switched to YouTube and innerfrench podcast. I like the format much better than language apps for now.
