Feedback - Suggested Improvements/Feature Request

New Feature Request:

Add completed cram questions to the Activity widget on the dashboard.

Personally, I think it would be very helpful to see how many cram questions I have completed each day, in addition to completed grammar and vocab reviews.

Just like with grammar and vocab, you could have the option to select whether or not you want to have cram questions included in the Activity widget:

I looked all over the settings before posting, but couldn’t find a feature like this.

Turns out this option doesn’t show up in the Android app.
I configured it using the Web UI, thanks a lot :smile:

I figured that I can also offset the start of day time by changing the timezone, but this doesn’t feel like it’s intended and might cause issues when travelling across timezones.

Ok now I’m confused.

I could find this yesterday, on the main Decks page. Today I’ve looked again and it’s not there.

I’m not opted into a beta program, and both times I was using the same interface, i.e. using the web version. To be more specific, using the web version after “Add to Home Screen” which installs the web version as an app.

I tried doing all of today’s scheduled lessons in case the app was waiting for me to do that first, but I still don’t see it.

I actually took a screenshot yesterday and it looked like this:

Now today it looks like this:

Edited to add: found it! Now it’s moved to the deck details page. I guess this is an update. There’s now a Review button here:

Yup! The button on the front of the deck got moved. Jake responded in a post and said it was because it was really slowing down load times on the decks page, and they plan to add a bunch more decks in the future. However, they did acknowledge that there was more sadness than they expected upon the removal of the button. There’s a few relevant posts that came up about it (including my obituary lol).

Thanks for the suggestion!

“Alternate” audio mode was silently added to the website.
Will include it as part of a bigger announcement in the near future.

Hello,

I’ve a suggestion as well, not sure if it already got suggested or not…
But, sometimes I have grammar point I get during my reviews I want to cram immediately.
Getting to the cram section and THEN searching for that specific grammar point is always a bit of an effort.

Could we add an button on its grammar site itself? Kinda like this?

Would it be possible to see a bookmark icon in bookmark items in both search and deck pages? I like to bookmark things because anything above N4 it’s too hard for now (or sometimes to simply save vocab to add another day).

Loving Bunpro!

At the moment, when reviewing you can have the audio of the sentence be played automatically when you get the answer right. It would be great to also have the option to have only the audio of the word automatically played instead.

I want to be able to make sure that my pronunciation of each word I review is correct, but I have hundreds of reviews every day so waiting for the full sentence audio to play adds a lot of time to my reviewing. For me, I actually only want to hear the audio of the specific vocab word before moving on.

お疲れ様!! Thanks for all the hard work!

As much as I feel conflicted writing this, not least because it’s kinda the opposite of a feature request, I wonder if we could have say a 1-month window before JLPT exams when Bunpro’s state is kinda frozen for those few weeks until the exam, without any big changes?

Of course, little things like fixing typos would be good, and hopefully work on the site can continue in the background, with any new features released soon after the JLPT exams.

I really appreciate all of the latest updates to Bunpro and really hope to check them out more as soon as possible after the JLPT exams, but I have to say that currently I feel like they’re tempting me away from JLPT study right now … which is exactly what I hope to achieve through using this site! Hope that makes sense, and I write it with admiration and very much looking forwards to enjoying the new features soon!

We actually do a code freeze for at least the 2 weeks before the exam (unless we need to hotfix some small bug), mainly so we don’t break anything or make drastic changes that could negatively impact people.

That being said, since the new decks is beta only, you could turn beta off until after the test (or I could forcibly do it for you :joy: ). Decks is the only thing in beta currently and will still be there after you have taken the test, and might even be better than it is now.

This PLS!! hearing just the target word would be so helpful. I had to turn audio off when blazing through vocab because I don’t want to wait for the entire sentence, but hearing just the vocab helps solidify it into memory for me. But I still want to be able to read the sentences.

Side note I just thought of, how difficult would it be to add a card option that has just vocab reveal and grade. Where it shows you just the target vocab word in Japanese, and you flip into a random sentence from that vocab. Or have it appear under the vocab on flip, that way you can check furigana quickly with the vocab but itself, but still be exposed to the sentence easily if you want to check context.

edit, just poked around the different review styles and it would be exactly like translate question/reveal and grade, just with the added benefit of a sentence appearing underneath the vocab definition to be able to quickly refernce a context

I’m guessing “M” means “months”, not “minutes” or “milliseconds” (or “microseconds” or …). Could be worth clarifying because I don’t think it’s so clear:
