Feedback - Suggested Improvements/Feature Request

Please add the option to pay for subscription via Google Play store credit. I have over $40 in play store credit I want to use for BunPro

Would it be possible to have separate setting on the general, review and UI settings when doing cram? For instance when doing reviews maybe youā€™d like lightning mode and no hints, but in cram youā€™d like lightning mode off and hints etc.

Feature request: kanji decomposition on vocab pages

When learning a word that contains 2+ kanji, I find it very helpful to look up the meaning of each kanji in isolation. This provides an approximate etymology of the word, and building up such understanding is much more effective for me than brute-force memorization.

Unfortunately Bunpro does not facilitate this: clicking on a kanji only opens a popup to toggle furigana. I understand that Bunpro does not have cards for kanji in isolation, only for vocab (and of course grammar). Still, itā€™d be nice for Bunpro to provide an easy way (without copy-paste into another browser tab) to search for other vocab pages that use a given kanji.

Pretty simple feature request I think, but Iā€™d love to have a vocab review option that alternates between ā€œFill In + Reveal and Gradeā€ and ā€œReading + Reveal and Gradeā€. It would make it much easier to recall vocab both ways in a balanced way. Or maybe you could even set a bias like ā€œPrefer readingā€ or ā€œPrefer fill inā€ so you can focus on either input or output while not completely ignoring the other.

I canā€™t find the audio for the reading section on the iPhone app :thinking:
Is it going to be implemented?
Also, Iā€™d love to have a ā€œrepeatā€ button to listen for one audio over and over again until it sits in my head like a rock, how about it?

first let me know if these features already exist and Iā€™m just unaware on how to use Bunpro correctly.
Adjustment Iā€™d love to see on Bunpro:
-Display accuracy directly on /grammar_point

-On /grammar_point we can select and sort grammar point to perform different action. what Iā€™d love to be able to do with that current feature is :
-drag clic to select multiple items or facilitate the selection of mutliple items
-set review setting on selection.
-sort by accuracy lvl (ascending / descending).
-sort by SRS level.
-create cram list with selection.
-change SRS level on selection.
-bookmark selection.

-possibility to see all previous mistake (on a daily/ weekly / monthly /manual timeframe basis).
-possibility to create a cram list based on previous mistakes (on a daily/ weekly / monthly /manual timeframe basis).
-Possibility to see al previous and current ghost (on aā€¦ basis)
-Possibility to create a cram list based on previous and current ghost (on a ā€¦ basis)
-Possibility to press enter a second time to validate answer when question type is set to reading mode. for now the only option is to manually click on ā€˜goodā€™

Thank you for reading me

Not sure which section I should post this in, but wouldnā€™t it be nice to convert these readings in round brackets to furigana?

For this, on your keyboard number pad 1 will fail a reading card, and 2 will pass it. Having a double enter pass it might go against what users are use to from fill in, double enter being a fail but maybe notšŸ¤·

@IcyIceBear This change went live this week. We just made it match the other places it shows up. The design needs a little TLC but the info is there

Just a small thing, but should there be badges for the vocabulary decks like there is for grammar decks. Completing a vocabulary deck is just as big of an accomplishment, and it might encourage more people to try the vocabulary decks. The number of vocab deck users is much less than the grammar decks.

Can you please make vacation mode less buggy? Last time I used it I took a multiple month vacation and it took me like 2 weeks to disable vacation mode. I now took just a 1 day vacation and it says it is updating my vacation mode since 2 (2!!! hours). I honestly wanted to catch up with my reviews as I have time now (!) but I wonā€™t have time in 4 hours or whenever this app decides Iā€™m allowed to do reviews again. This is really frustrating!!! Please fix this!

On the iOS app the undo button disappears so to continue I have to backspace a bunch to clear the box. This happens often when I have an almost correct answer but Bunpro wants a slight change (ie ā€˜Letā€™s try a different grammar structure hereā€™).

The buttons that normally sit next to ā€˜Hintā€™sā€™ all collapse just when you need them :joy:

Maybe a bit of a stupid one, but due to religious reasons, Iā€™m sometimes unable to do my reviews. Could it be possible to implement an automatic pause function where no reviews are added for a day after a day has been missed? Kind of like vacation mode except it automatically toggles and only for a day (if you have it turned on). Whenever I miss a day, I always feel really discouraged because I have 2 days worth of reviews to do.

hmm that would be interesting. an auto mini vacation pause. although it seems vacay mode usually has some struggles with turning back off, so not sure how well it would actually work

but I would also like to suggest something a lil different that might help you if youre consistantly skipping the same day of the week. An option to toggle certain days of the week to not schedule reviews for,

and an option to limit how many reviews are scheduled for a single day. like setting the limit at 100. any day would not have more than a hundred. if you missed a day, the next day would still be 100 because everything would get pushed back a day. not sure how well it would work practically for srs timings though.

in the meantime, try splitting up your following review session into two sessions during the day. one session in the morning for the one you missed, and one later in the day for that days. yes it doesnt solve your problem, but it will make it go much smoother if youre used to smaller sessions and itll be much less discouraging than having to sit through one longer session

Yeah weā€™ve had feature requests for day-of-the-week based Vacation Modes.
Not unheard of or a silly suggestion at all.

Unfortunately Vacation Mode is just computationally expensive for some of our heavy users.
Will add your request as a +1 for it though!

This may have been requested before but please add a button to go back to the previous item while doing reviews, for when you hastily mark something correct by accident, or you just thought of a synonym you want to add, or just want to double check the pitch or anything else about it.
Currently you have to end your entire session and look for it in the list of reviewed items, or swap over to the search page and type it in manually; either of which is a real pace killer.

Just curious: do you actually have a running list of suggestions that have counters and get bumped up as more people request the same thing?
