For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duolingo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Duolingo<\/a>, one of the most popular language-learning apps, uses gamification in their app. <strong>The more you progress and level up, the more \u201clingots\u201d you gain and the higher your score on the board is<\/strong>. And if you don\u2019t practice your skills, you will lose strength on them, which should serve as an incentive to practice your knowledge and spend more time using the app.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eBay<\/a> also uses gamification on their website. Buyers provide sellers with feedback and award them with points. <strong>Upon collecting a specific number of points, sellers will earn stars<\/strong>. One can win stars in many different colors, depending on their seller score. For instance, 10 points will get you a yellow star, 25.000 feedback points a turquoise shooting star, etc. The higher the score, the more trustworthy a user is. On the other hand, this kind of gamification encourages competitiveness among buyers, since they need to outbid others to purchase the desired product. And when they do get it, they feel a sense of accomplishment because they made it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/foursquare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Foursquare<\/a> is another great example of how gamification works.
