So as I understand coins is only for repair streak and for gathering it, but also I can’t check how many exactly I have it. I’m not sure that this coins are some motivator. If be honest in my case it’s demotivating that everyday it shows how many coins I got, but later it gone and only what I can do with it in future it will be repair my strike

You can see how many coins you’ve earned in total. Go to profile, change “Known Words” to “Coins Earned” in the drop-down menu, then you can view how many you earned for the week, the month, etc. Also if you join challenges you can see how many coins you’ve earned through those.

That said, I still don’t see why the coins are even there, coins should have more uses than they do.

Ok, thanks for instruction how to find this coins amount.

So can you tell me how to use coins?

You can use coins to repair your streak in case it gets broken.

I access LingQ on different devices - laptop, iPad, etc. LingQ does not seem to recognize that I was online across these different devices. The laptop streak does not see the iPad days, and vice versa. How do I fix that?

[zoran]

@wscofield301 That’s very unlikely. Are you sure that you are logged into the same account on all devices?

[wscofield301]

Yes, I am sure I am logged in properly to the same account. I think the issue may be that there is apparently a threshold of activity required before the program gives you credit for the day. I admit this is new for me, so I am still trying to understand how things work. I do not yet have “coins” figured out.
