I’m not trying to get you to keep using it (I should have stopped using it myself, as well), but if you insist using it for another month, you might as well just delete the app right now, and just visit (the owl’s website name).com with the uBlock Origin extension.
I’ve been using it that way from the start, and never installed the app. Zero push notifications, and as opposed to push notifications, you can actually filter your emails if you want to keep certain types of messages for some reason. It’s still not the best, but certainly less annoying.
What made me decide to stop (at two years, also ~2 months from now) is the constant, unnecessary inflation of sections to keep you grinding, always moving the goal line. Well, and the obvious AI solutions, clearly meaning they booted a lot of people for cheap labour. And for gutting the discussions. Especially that: I used to learn more from the discussions/comments than the actual sections.
But apart from obsession, there’s really no difference between still using it for another X days and quitting right now (says me, wanting to make it a nice and round 730 days). Yes, you might be able to learn a few extra words, and AT BEST one new thing about grammar, but the difference is just negligible, and you might have actually learned more from some other source during those X days, instead - with fewer of the aforementioned annoyances.
