Feedback - Suggested Improvements/Feature Request

Not sure if this has been requested yet so sorry if this is a duplicate, but now that custom decks are a thing, in Deck Settings, it would be great to add a JLPT option in Sorting Order similar to what is used in Bunpro’s Search: image

Ah, I didn’t know Jake had already let this feature out of the bag :rofl:. Yep, it is something we have hiding in the back end waiting for release soon :wink:.

@nminer Basically exactly the same function within the deck settings that there is within search? Not a bad idea! I will mention it to the team.

Mastery is truly subjective. :face_with_monocle:

It seems like the N2 〜もしない grammar point is not in Bunpro yet
Perhaps can be added? :blush: Thanks


Apologies in advance if the grammar point is already there, but I’ve been searching for it and it’s not coming up.

I don’t get the point of XP. It just seems irrelevant. Our progress seems to be measured by the progress bars. Not really seeing where the XP really matter.

Hi there and thanks for getting in touch! This gramamr point is already planned for the near future. We will be combining it with ~もしないで like many other resources do. In future, you can find out what grammar points that we have in our schedule to make, and also request ones that aren’t there in this thread here.

Hi there, and thanks for expressing your concern! The XP contributes to your level, while the progress bar expresses how far you are through any given JLPT level. For example, if you were finished N5, the progress bar for N5 would be full, but as you progress through different levels of mastery with N5 reviews, your level will still continue to go up. This would also reflect in the progress bar, but only as a slight color change.

I hope this answer helps and that you continue to enjoy using Bunpro! :blush:

Brilliant, thank you very much!

Thanks for the information about XP. I understand that xp contributes to my level. However I don’t see my level as being relevant. It is the progression towards mastery that seems to be most important. I’m not sure what my level is actually telling me.

I agree. To further compound the issue, if you reset your grammar/vocab , your level goes away too. Your level is like water. It’s an anti-user approach that doesn’t honor the time they spent.

I feel like the English is misleading here. The English reads as if the pinning is what the whole company did, not the scandal, and the way it’s translated lines up with one of the main examples on the grammar page that use ぐるみで. Am I misunderstanding something?

Hi there and thanks for pointing out the poor-quality translation. I have just changed it to this so that it better reflects the Japanese!

‘Something like pinning a company-wide scandal on one employee and then cornering him into taking his own life in addition to that, what a cruel organization!’

In addition to something that you see on the site, other users are also able to see your level on the forum, which gives users a sense of how long someone has been using Bunpro. Due to this it can be helpful for when higher level users are helping out answering questions of lower level users. Of course you can hide this though if you do not wish other users to see your level.

Is it possible to add the “bunpro summary” when learning vocab to the android app? This feature has been on the website for a while now, but still missing on the app.

Just asked the mobile dev.
This will be added very very soon!

Hi! Would it be possible to add functionality that lets you to tap/hover a word while reviewing in order to check its meaning and add it to your review list?

Hi, I really like that you can add your own example sentences, particularly since some vocab words don’t have any example sentences yet

However, would it be possible to link our own example sentences to the vocab word, so that they are randomly chosen when we review that particular word, and it doesn’t add all of the example sentences to our review questions.

For example, 無料 (むりょう) doesn’t have any example sentences, so I generated some of my own example sentences. However, that has added 4 new sentences to my review queue. Instead, it would be great if these example sentences are linked to the vocab word, so that I randomly do only one of these example sentences whenever 無料 is reviewed in my SRS queue.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Hi there.
I’m just starting my journey but few topics I’d like to comment for improvements. Not in any specific order.

1/ Would be great to have the capacity to filter what you want to learn from a deck. Grammar, vocab and other filters.
2/ Would be great to have decks for top 100 General, top 200 General
3/ On the website, when I go through different pages, it usually opens new one. I have after 1 hour 20 pages of Bunpro, which is annoying.
4/ When I click to a vocab and add it to the study, it doesn’t count as a lesson, even though it’s on my deck. Another way of solving this would be to let me select what I want to learn in my current decks.
5/ I’d like the opportunity to cross-check everything with Wakinaki. For instance, automatically put aside the vocab I’m gonna learn in the level I’m in. Or in the 2, 3 next levels. It should be easy to implement.
6/ I’m not sure there’s a proper N5 deck. The Bunpro contains 1100 entries, Genki I’m not sure it’s fully aligned.
7/ When I click on lessons or review on the top bar, I’d like to choose if I want grammar or vocab.

I’m loving the new option of showing an example sentence after revealing the answer for vocabulary reviews in translation mode, thanks!

I’ve been using translation reviews for vocabulary for a while for faster reviews, and this new feature is a great way of additionally having a look at actual usage of words, super useful for many of them.

One minor thing that I’m missing is that playing the audio of the example sentences don’t follow the preferences set for the audio voices (i.e. male, female, random, alternating, …), and is not either possible to choose between them in the options for it.

We thought you’d all like it!
Was a very requested feature.

Found the audio issue.
Will push very soon!
