For most intermediate to advanced level math you just go to Khan Academy (which is free & non-profit). They also have a very polished interface for the problems but it's less focused on gamifying things and more focused on accurately displaying graphs and tables and it's a really down-to-earth approach to education. But I do think Duo Lingo Math would be useful for younger kids or people who want to lay a foundation (in case it is missing) because the early stages of math, what we call the "basics", are really tough to get when you're just starting out because at that point you do not yet have the mathematical way of thinking developed, and proper visualization is really helpful. Additionally I think it's good that duo moves away from displaying everything like just numbers. Math is a way of modelling real world problems and it would be better for people to be taught to think of numbers as representations of something real rather than think of them as hollow meaningless numbers that can be mechanically operated upon without any significance. Learning algebraic rules and geometric formulas does not mean you are good at math, at least not in the real world.
