(Android) Issue with review session closing in background

This happens with regularity; here is a specific example from this morning.

I had a (grammar) review count of 40. I started slowly working my way through, but when I was 75% finished, a real life distraction happened for an hour or so. I returned to my phone to finish the task, but when I brought the app back to the foreground, it just said I had 10 reviews to do.

This means that the review session silently closed in the background, which robbed me of (a) my ability to see how many I got correct, but more importantly (b) my ability to get a cram button for those things that I didn’t.

Maybe there is an Android power setting somewhere that would do better at keeping the app alive in the background. Or maybe this is the app’s fault. I don’t know. Are there any settings or actions I can take in the app to protect against this?

E.g. one idea is in Smouldering Durtles which I use for WaniKani, I can set review batch size, and I only do 10 at a time, so that I am likely to be able to complete them all before I get distracted. But I can’t seem to find a similar setting in Bunpro.

I guess another option might be to just manually “wrap up session” before getting distracted, but even then, if the cram button results in a really long-running task, I fear that task might have been cancelled before I return.

Any ideas?

Hey!
Did this happen on the android app or on the website?
If it is the app I will make sure to fix it by the next update, if possible you can PM me more details :bowing_man:
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Dominik from Bunpro

Thanks for the quick response! It happened in the Android app. And it wouldn’t surprise me if the OS is at fault somehow, but maybe you can combat against that by more aggressively making the app high priority.

Happy to PM you whatever details you need.
