The goal of this tread is provide you with a way to see the updates we make to Bunpro in real time. Since we only tend to post on the site or send an email out for major updates, an update thread will help quench your thirst for progress between those major announcements.
We will update this thread weekly/bi-weekly.
November 24, 2019 Major Update - New Cram!, Bookmarks, Copy Japanese, Bug fixes and more!
Cram!
With the December JLPT exactly one week away, it is the perfect time to really focus on the individual grammar points that are giving you the most trouble.
For this reason, we have added a few features to Cram to enhance your grammar studies.
- You can now select multiple JLPT levels to cram at once.
- In addition to selecting multiple JLPT levels, you can now select individual grammar points from within those categories.
What's Cram, again?
-
Cram allows you to review random example sentences from a particular JLPT level.
-
Cram draws from every available study question in our database to cover a variety of situations and nuances.
-
You can cram for as long as you like without affecting your normal review SRS.
Happy cramming and good luck on the JLPT!
Bookmarks
You can now bookmark individual grammar points! Just click on the bookmark icon in the upper right-hand corner of a grammar point page.
- Grammar points you have bookmarked will be marked with a bookmark icon.

Copy Japanese
You now have the ability to copy the Japanese example sentences to the clipboard without furigana.
Wanakana Update + Bug Fixes
- Wanakana update fixes the bug where typing in the middle of a word for error correction moves the cursor to the end of the input.
- Various minor bug fixes.
Troubled Grammar
- You can now view your troubled grammar points on the Stats page.

We will be more consistent about adding future/missing grammar points, squashing bugs, and improving features in the following weeks. Once Tobira is finished we will be able to redirect our focus to N1 grammar. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Cheers!

July 12, 2018
Choose Ghost Review Aggressiveness
- When Ghost Reviews are set to ‘ON’ in settings, a Ghost Review will be created for a sentence if you miss it once in your reviews. Set Ghost Reviews to ‘Minimal’ to only add a sentence to Ghost Reviews if you miss the same sentence more than once.
Tweaks to Ghost Review SRS
- Ghost Review intervals are now 4 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hrs, meaning that you will see your Ghost sentence four times over the course of the next four days.
Ability to remove all Ghost Reviews
- You can now remove all Ghost Reviews from your review queue by clicking on Profile, Reset and selecting Ghost Reviews from the dropdown menu.
Reset Progress
- You can now reset your Bunpro reviews! Click on Account, Profile, Reset and select the reviews that you would like to reset. Select Normal (All), Ghost Reviews, or a JLPT level and click reset to remove reviews from that particular category. Reset reviews will behave as if they have never been added to your review queue; there will no longer be any statistics or SRS level associated with them. Think of resetting your reviews as a way to wipe the slate clean and start anew.
*Resetting your reviews will not affect Self-Study questions.
N3 Lesson 6 - N3, Lesson 6 now has 12 example sentences and 12 review questions!
Update - July 6, 2018
Ghost Reviews
Introducing Ghost Reviews
-
Ghost Reviews are reviews that you have gotten incorrect and come back to haunt you (leeches). If you get an item incorrect, that particular sentence will automatically be added to your review queue in addition to your normal reviews.
-
Ghost Reviews utilize a separate SRS so that you can devote extra attention to a specific sentence/nuance while you continue to receive new sentences and progress in your normal reviews.
-
You will see your Ghost Review sentence six times over the course of one month. The SRS intervals for Ghost Reviews are: 4 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, 2 days, 4 days, 8 days, 2 weeks, 20 years. *Intervals will be shorter if you get the sentence incorrect.
-
With the implementation of Ghost Reviews, you will no longer get stuck in a review loop where, if you miss a sentence, you go back and see old sentences again. Instead, whether you get a grammar point correct or not, you will be able to further advance through the sentences on Bunpro! *Grammar points will still drop an SRS interval if incorrect.
Mobile
The navbar has been removed on mobile for Reviews, Cram and Study quizzes to give you a more seamless and intuitive study session.
The summary page has a new look!
