Option to Pause Subscription Without Losing LingQs or Personal Data

Original Canny votes: 0 | Status: Under Review

Long-time LingQ subscribers should have the option to temporarily pause their subscription without losing their accumulated data, particularly the LingQs they’ve created over years of learning.

Suggested solution:

  • Introduce a “Pause Subscription” option that retains all user data (LingQs, vocabulary stats, imported lessons, etc.) during the inactive period
  • Optionally limit access to premium features while paused, but preserve the learning history
  • Resume full access upon reactivation without any data loss

This would:

  • Encourage long-term commitment by offering flexibility during life transitions
  • Reduce churn by making it easier for users to return after a break
  • Honor the time and effort users have invested in building their language learning journey

Include a streak freeze during the pause – possibly based on its length, and you’ve got my vote.
