Feedback - Suggested Improvements/Feature Request

This is not really a suggestion or a feature request, but I would like to just say that I’m really grateful that “vacation mode” exists. It’s such a godsend sometimes, thank you for adding this feature :heart:

I love how Bunpro is all about learning, but also makes sure to be flexible enough to always accommodate different people and different ways to learn

theres no conjugation instructions for na adjectives even though the example sentences have na adjectives. (this one is not a big deal but i figured i would throw it out there)

Call back to this gem. I would really love this feature. Being able to put a pause on specific decks while you focus on others would be really nice. I shift focus with my studies, so when that happens I want to be able to take a deck out of reviews and have it stay exactly how it is without building up more reviews and come back to it with 500+ pending.

I know that’s a little against SRS rules but how I study nonetheless. I can also see this helping book clubs as that continues to build a library of deck collections. At least for me anyway, if I’m already going through a books deck, but decide to put a pause on reading it for whatever reason, or decide to switch to a different book or maybe the active book club decks for instance. It would be nice to have my progress in that deck saved for when I’m ready to come back to it where I left off, and not be harassed by reviews in the meantime

I do remember reading somewhere that you’re trying to adjust how the reviews come back while factoring in things like “how overdue was this and if they still remember it, it should be a little further out” kinda stuff. So I can see wanting to solidify that first because that would also really help the single deck pauses (if that would become a thing :kissing_closed_eyes::sparkles:)

I know saved cram presets are coming, but I would like to express how much I REALLY want this feature. Either that, or a way to make bookmark categories, and cram based off of a bookmark category. I’m getting annoyed with the sentence/phrase opener (それで, それに, それ/これから, しかし, etc.), and different ways of expressing similarites/likeness, and I don’t like to having to find them every time I want to cram them, or sift through uncategoriezed bookmarks.

I feel like a “study ahead” mode would be really useful. Often times I find myself come onto bunpro at the beginning of the day, with only a few reviews, but the forecast shows that I will have 10s of reviews more by the end of the day.

It would be useful to have the option to study the whole day at once.

Hi!

It sounds as if this setting would be useful to you:

Give it a look and see if it is what you are seeking.

For more details, the main topic about this feature is this.

HTH!

We are planning on introducing user-made Decks in the future.
This will cover that use-case!

Watch this space :eyes:

Hey Bunpro Team,

This possible already posted here but I couldn’t find it under search.

I wanted to bring an urgent issue to your attention. On the iOS app, I’m not getting pop-up notifications when my reviews are due.

This might be due to the app being in a testing phase, but it’s really important for keeping me motivated. If I don’t get notifications, I might forget to do my reviews, which means I’ll use the app less. And less usage means less improvement for me and potentially for the app too.

Can you please look into this? I think it would make a big difference for many users.

Thanks for your attention to this!

Could you please make the translations optional in the grammar point explanations ?

I want to try translating every sentence before checking the translation but sometimes my eyes slip and I get “spoiled”, missing the opportunity to progress :sweat_smile:

Hey! Welcome back.

This may already be a feature, depending on where you are talking about :thinking:
Are you talking about the Examples section, the Quiz, or the About section (below)?

Instead of several separate dropdowns to pick one of only a few possible combinations of which hint/nuance/translation to show automatically and in what order, why not make a draggable list (like the learning queue deck order) for full customizability, and simply let us set how many to show by default, going down the list?

Examples


E.g., for grammar I’d like to see the meaning and JP hint by default, followed by EN hint and lastly the full translation if I choose to reveal more; and for vocab I’d probably do just JP hint (when available) by default, and EN hint if I reveal more.

Cherry on top, but arguably a separate (yet related) request, would be the option to automatically show the whole sentence translation on revealing/entering the answer.!

I’m talking’s about the « about » section.
I already enjoy the quiz without any hint :innocent: but I never read the exemples :thinking: I guess it would be nice to have this functionality for the exemples too for people who read them if it’s not already available.

Ahhh I see!
Then the good news is, this is already in the works, and is done for N5 – go check it out.
We’re currently working on adding it for N4 to N1!

Nice !

I managed to set this up even if it wasn’t intuitive (hiding the translations in the Exemples also hide them in the About section) but on every N5 item that I checked but one, the Caution and Fun fact section verbs are unaffected as you can see in は (JLPT N5) | Bunpro and な-Adjectives (JLPT N5) | Bunpro for instance.

Interestingly, the Fun fact section of る-Verb (Past) (JLPT N5) | Bunpro correcly hides the translations :face_with_monocle:

The bad news is that the setting doesn’t “stick”. When I open a new tab, the translations appear again by default :disappointed:

True… I’ll take a look into why this might be!

Could we get a yellow warning/hint when using だけでなく when the exercise is expecting ばかりでなく ?
Usually when you use a similar word like ではない instead of じゃない you get a yellow hint saying you are close and to try another word. But not with the ばかりでなく exercises.
They mean roughly the same thing and だけでなく is more common and is often the word that comes to my head first.

I would love more control over the Wanikani sync options. Now we have Add everything you have studied to Master or Add everything guru or over to Seasoned 1. Ideally I would like Add everything from Wanikani X to Bunpro Y. If that’s not possible, I would really love to have Add everything you have Burned on Wanikani to Expert 1 on Bunpro. Just to get a little more practice with Wanikani’s Burned items.

In addition to this, please let us set ghosts individually for grammar and vocab as well! For instance, I’d like full ghosts on grammar and only limited ghosts (or none) on vocab.

And when selecting to cram missed items after a review session, please let us pick if we want to do only grammar/vocab.

Hiya, the suggestion I have for you stems from adding words to your review.

Usually, if we are using grammar points for example, you can click on it and it will show you if you have done it and if so, how long for(like what level).

When it comes to words that I find that I wish to learn, especially when I am learning new grammar points and reading new examples, if I see a word I want to learn I had to copy it and then go to the menu on the top of the sight, go from content to vocab, right click to open it in another window so my current progress isn’t lost, and paste the word into a search bar, clicking on the word which triggers another window to pop up before I can add it to my review.

Perhaps there is a faster way which I do not know, but if there is not, would it be possible to add the Same function which grammar points have to words?

On the other hand, this may be too troublesome considering the amount of words in a page@(・●・)@

We’re planning to add this to all Vocab/Grammar everywhere.
Currently the feature is a bit haphazard in terms of implementation (works in some places, not in others).

Getting an algorithm that lets us automate this is taking some time.
