Streaks?

[HazelM]

What does the fire symbol mean?(streaks)?

[Levi]

It shows the number of days on which you've continuously used Duolingo (finished successfully at least one lesson).

[ziggKogg]

Streaking is the new craze on Duolingo!

[ryaton]

Nice streak bro

[TheGandalf]

It actually just means you've continuously gotten points every day. It doesn't have to be through completing lessons.

[Darkflemy]

Can you get a day-steak if you review vocab or do you have to finish a lesson absolutely?

[Levi]

@Darkflemy : I don't know what vocab review is (haven't done it yet), as far as I know you have to finish one lesson at least.

[zereoue20]

I thought you could, but lost my streak because I just strengthened some vocabulary. :(

[johnsons531]

huh... guess I lost my streak because I didn't successfully complete a lesson? even though I tried. and unfortunately lost my wager too. lame.

[GermanCheetah]

no you lose your streaks when you do not do any duolingo for a day. :)

[HazelM]

oh thankyou :)

Somehow since today web UI shows a shorter streak than a mobile app.

[stfods]

Web UI shows 16, while in Android app it's 56 - and I am pretty sure that the number in Android app is correct

[MarkusHole]

I got the same problem

[stfods]

I have find a solution. If the count of days on Web UI is not up-to-date, on next day first pass test on Web and not in Android/iOs app

[MarkusHole]

it didn't work :( But as long as I don't loose my streaks it's okay..

[omercito]

I've got a problem with the streaks. On my Android phone, it says "1 streak", but I've got "17 streaks" on the web. 2 days ago they both showed "15 streaks".

[foxydoodlydoo]

do you have to complete a NEW lesson, or can you recomplete an old one?

[Levi]

Either will do.
