BunPyro - New Android App (WIP)

I had a look at the repo. You seem to be making progress!
Do you think you could put the develop branch apk on a branch so it’s easy to download? That way we can play around with it and give feefback if we run into issues, but since reviews are not officially released, we can blame only ourselves if something goes wrong :yum:.

Or do you think you’re close to release?

Thanks!

I want to add notifications soon, does that cover your need?
By soon, expect a few weeks or months :see_no_evil:

You should be able to download an apk that is pretty recent by using this link: Bunpyro - Firebase App Distribution. Feedback is welcome, but as you mentioned, it’s still a work in progress. Note that ghost reviews are not yet implemented.

Your “alpha” build is closer to a release build than a lot of currently released apps :eyes:.

Just gave the new Bunpyro update a look and I must say it’s looking absolutely excellent. This is exactly what I wanted from Bunpro since the very beginning so I am super chuffed someone is working on it!

If you need any bug reporting and stuff like that do let us know, I used to work as a games/software QA tester so I’d be very willing to report anything I may find :slight_smile:

The app is looking great, all your work is appreciated! If I may make a suggestion, it would be nice if there was an option to hide the ghost reviews button so A) the screen would be symmetrical, B) ghost reviews can just be done during a normal review sesson. Thanks again!

The new update is amazing!! I absolutely love it. Very intuitive and easy to use

The app is very promising.
A block of information is missing in the reading part of a grammar point, can you consider adding it?

Thank you for your kind words everyone, and sorry for the long wait.

Changes

In short:

  • Reviews! :memo:
  • Notifications! :bell:

Limitations

  • Reviews are online only (you need an active Internet connection).
  • Ghost reviews are not available in app. A “ghost reviews” button redirects to the website for now.
  • The review count might not be accurate (especially for ghost reviews).

These limitations are due to the API. Hopefully we can work them out soon.

Feedback

If you encounter any issues, let me know and I will try my best to fix them.
I haven’t forgotten about your suggestions (Anki mode, Better Furiganas, Review forecast, …), but I haven’t got time to tackle them yet.

Having ghost reviews in the normal review session would be great :wink: But currently the Bunpro API doesn’t return them. So as a tradeoff, I’m adding this button so that people can still access them.

Unfortunately, this block of information is not returned by the Bunpro API currently, so I can’t add it.

+1 on the @Jake mention as I don’t think we are only few people thinking BunPyro needs a convenient app to learn & review with!

@Bomyru They are on our todo list :smiley:

I don’t get any notifications when I have reviews available. Any idea how I can diagnose this issue? Thanks!

I receive when I have at least 6 items in review, not including ghosts in this case.

Sometimes I see “ah, only 6?” but actually is 6 items and 30 ghosts in reality :sweat_smile:
