BunPyro - New Android App (WIP)

Bunpro
#39

Making awesome progress on the app dude. It’s looking better all the time. One thing I think would be useful is the warning text that the guys put with most grammar points below the basic usage tips. Like the ‘this is usually used when talking about things and cannot be used to refer to people’ etc.

I think those points may be really important as I see people using this more than the actual site eventually based on the offline capabilities, and that info when first learning the grammar is invaluable. Perhaps in italics under the other basic info?

Keep up the great work :+1::+1::+1:

edit: Disregard this, I see it’s already been added. Nice!

The release 0.3.6 is now available on the Play Store!
This update adds an audio player in examples and small UI improvements.
This is the last update before working on reviews, which may take a while.

Changelog 0.3.6

Added

  • Audio player for examples
  • SRS details in lists (available behind a setting)
  • Golden seal for burned items
  • SRS and JLPT info in the grammar point details

Fixed

  • Improved the text contrast in dark mode
  • JLPT progress sometimes disappearing
  • Color issues on older devices

@Anthropos888 Some of the UI improvements come from your feedback, let me know what you think of it
@Asher I’ve worked a little bit on the dark mode, let me know if you still find some elements hard to read.

I’ve just noticed that the new audio (by @Asher) doesn’t play, I will fix this later

I believe the files were changed yesterday to the new ones without the click sound at the end. It could simply be a matter of refreshing the address of the audio file… or however it works.

The SRS information is very useful, thanks! I noticed that the filter for JLPT levels doesn’t seem to work. Even if I uncheck JLPT5 etc, it is still shown in the list.

Actually, it’s because the old audio paths provided by the API were relative to https://bunpro.jp/audio/ and now it’s absolute. I will have to handle both cases. :+1:

(Thank you the new audio by the way)

Oh, I can reproduce it. Will fix.

Edit : Should be now fixed in the 0.3.7 version, released today.

Hi, new subscriber (from wk) + a bug
#45

Just a tiny issue: 反面 for example can’t be found when typing “hanmen”, you need to type “hannmenn” which is not very intuitive. Probably that’s the same with other grammar points ending with “n” but I haven’t testet it.

If I may add something to the wishlist : it would be great if the “wanikani furigana option” could be included!
Already like the app very much, thank you @matthieuesnault for your work!

I’m going to echo @Jookun’s sentiment: a “Wanikani” option would be greatly appreciated in the furigana settings. When furigana is present, I can’t help but use it as a crutch even if I already know the word. That’s probably the only thing about the official app that I prefer over this app.

Beyond that, this is looking great so far! I eagerly await the reviews, keep up the great work!

Your app looks great! As suggestion, I would love to have the possibility to go to the next grammar point without going back to the list overview. Bunpro implements this with « and » around the grammar point.

Thank you for kind words @Bomyru, @Jookun, @Ruminations and @Madao :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m still working on the reviews right now, but it won’t be offline reviews until the API is improved.
In the meantime, it’s going to be online reviews.

I’ve added both suggestions to my backlog :+1:

Hey, thanks for developing this! It’s looking great and I’m eager to switch over to it once reviews are ready. :grin:

Are you planning to implement push notifications for available reviews? That’d be a killer feature for me since there seems to be no way of getting them currently.

When you get reviews implemented, will you bring in an Anki Mode? That’s the primary way I get through all of my reviews. Could even become the easiest way to do reviews if that’s the case.

@matthieuesnault Did you abandon the app!? It hasn’t been updated in quite some time.

Please consider adding a “new reviews” notification, that’d make this app super awesome.
