Request for Streak Freeze

Lost a 130 day streak – again .

Two hours to late. I mean Clozemaster is so sketchy in so many ways but often you forgive it. But this non-feature of not having a streak freeze is starting to really irritate me.

If the feature would be comparative to Duolingo, I realistically would probably have a streak more or less in the 600n day ballpark, which is much more representative of my actual effort.

Demotivating

Lost my streak 8 days ago. It was well over a thousand days. Had an Achilles tendon rupture, working out, and I spent 11 hours in the emergency in the Hospital. I was upset, for about … 5 minutes, and then I realized that there are more important things in life. So, I started another streak. No big deal. My motivation is still the same. My goal is to learn a new language.

Btw, I did not lose it on Duolingo bec I paid for the streek freeze. I feel like it’s cheating. My streak on Duo is over 3000 days and I broke it a few times over the yrs. But, it’s still there because I paid for the freeze.

Hope you’ve been making a good recovery!

@mike, we are quickly approaching 2 years since you put out this note. A lot of accumulated pain from lost streaks during that time. Is this close to being done.

With the recent changes to the user interface, an option was added that allows you to view days played instead of streak length.

I just looked at mine. It was interesting, but slightly horrifying, to note that when I divided the number by 365, this very day makes EXACTLY six years. In other words, it’s the equivalent of CM every single day, Monday to Sunday, for every week of every year for… Six. Years. That’s not counting leap years, but that problem will resolve itself by Friday. And of course I haven’t really been playing every day, and in fact intentionally break my streaks periodically, so… I don’t want to think of the implications of that.

(My account shows me having been Pro since 2021 but I know that’s wrong; my credit card statements show pro payments extending back several years before that.)

I {gulp} may need to get a new hobby… :astonished:

We added the new “Days Played” vs “Streak” toggle @alanf_us mentioned for now. We may still add streak saves, but I don’t have a specific timeline at the moment. We’re happy to fix any streaks that might be the result of a bug, for example the offline mode in the mobile app may stil have a time zone related issue when syncing.

There are some questionable aspects to streak saves that’ve caused us to drag our feet, for example

still give us some pause, wondering if there’s anything more effective we might try. We likely will add it, but that’s the rationale for the delay / why other projects keep getting priority.

You mean like starting a new language right? :upside_down_face: 6 years is incredible! Congrats! :raised_hands:
