Is there a way to disable automatic furigana for all numbers? For months, I have been disabling them when I come across one, but I am not sure I will ever catch all of them.

Iâve probably asked before but please implement a volume slider for sentence audio, itâs always way too loud compared to everything else on my machine.
Also, far less important but consider changing the âLast Sessionâ stat on the dashboard to âLast 24 Hoursâ perhaps? Feels like itâd be a far more insightful stat, since âlast sessionâ could be as little as a single review⊠(I know there are other, less convenient ways to check this already.)

On the mobile app, the âoverdue firstâ review order is missing, thereâs only Random, Ascending SRS and Descending SRS. This option is available on the website and the mobile site.
Is it possible to add it to the mobile app?

In the app, thereâs a âLatest Community Discussionsâ section.
Iâve muted some of the threads, but they still show up in this section.
Iâd like the muted threads to be filtered out.
Are you referring to the Kanji numbers? E.g. äș and not ïŒ?

Both kanji and âwestern numbersâ
Can do the volume slider pretty easily!
Also, far less important but consider changing the âLast Sessionâ stat on the dashboard to âLast 24 Hoursâ perhaps?
I can do this just for the Summary button in the Profile dropdown?
I think after a Review session it should stay just as Last Session

After searching the community I know this issue has already been brought up, but I was wondering if there has been any update on the idea: The option to continue with SRS testing even after a vocab / grammar point hits âmasteredâ.
Iâve realized itâs going to be such a shame that Iâll be cut off from the spaced repetition system once points hit âmasteredâ. I would really like to continue to be regularly tested through SRS, in perpetuity, as seen in classic SRS apps like Anki. The largest benefit to SRS learning is that even if a word is rarely seen in immersion, if you want to remember it, you can add it to SRS and it will take care of everything for you. Even if the intervals become too long and you end up forgetting it, at that point the intervals then automatically decrease for you to remember. I am a part of the target who want to remember everything regardless of rarity, so it would be ideal for me. I also just enjoy the voiced sentences.
I understand this might not be for everyone, and some peopleâs goals might be to move away from SRS entirely, but this would be a great option to have available for people like me who want to retain everything.

Until then you could just manually reset your mastered items to the desired SRS level. Maybe just put it back to level 11 and youâll see it again in like half a year.

Do you mean reset almost a thousand (several thousands if one is doing vocab) items individually?
Or is there a batch option?

I was thinking proactively change it once you master one. Unfortunately there isnât a batch option for anything as of yet . Weâve been asking. In the meanwhile though, this is probably the best and only option.

I hope this is the correct feedback thread and that there isnât a separate place specifically for improving the grammar points lol
I really do not like this grammar point. In fact, I donât like any prompt that has contextual information highlighted, but this one has been especially egregious. You can see in the image that Iâve achieved âadeptâ level on this item, but I could not tell you what it means or how it works at all, because the only things my brain does is see the ăă« and understand that I need to keep the ă« and add a ă to the end. I didnât even need to look at the rest of the sentence or the prompts or anything. This has also been a problem for other items. For example, when the ones about tenses (past polite, negative past standard, etc) show up and it shows three example sentences with two of the three filled in, I literally have to use my hand to cover up the sentences because theyâll give me hints about the conjugation, or even just give me the answer. If itâs asking me for the negative past standard for é㶠and one of the polite examples is prefilled with éă°ăȘăăŁăă§ă then I didnât really need to know the answer for myself, do I? I hate it, and that one at least didnât used to be that way and Iâm not sure why it was changed. But this one with ăă« and ă«ă is 10x worse, because I canât even cover it with my hand. By the time I realize what Iâm looking at, itâs too late.
Iâm my ideal world, there would be no red indicators on any grammar point and you would have to fill out all parts manually (I also donât like it when a grammar point is âsplitâ, such as withăăăăźă»ăă, and you only have to fill in half, for the same reason) but I assume that isnât possible or it would already be implemented. At the very least I would like to request ă⯠and âŻă be split into separate grammar items.

A volume slider would be a great quality of life addition. I like to play content like youtube/spotify while doing my reviews and itâs a hassle to balance out the volume. I would rather not, but I find myself skipping the audio portion at times when I canât be bothered or have forgotten and had my ears blasted.

In N4 Lesson 10 ăăăă§ăthe lesson presents the grammar construction in hiragana form only, and doesnât introduce a kanji form, but the example sentences use ć ¶ă§ exclusively. Not a total show-stopper, because users can tap the kanji to see the reading and hopefully put things together, but it was a little jarring as a learning experience. I think all the other lessons with kanji readings introduce them explicitly in the text of the lesson in some place, and many have notes on which cases are appropriate to expect kana or kanji constructions.
Just wanted to feed it back. Thanks!

Hello, Iâm sorry if this has already been suggested before in one way or another - or even if itâs actually possible already I just havenât found out howâŠ
But as Iâve been using Bunpro more for vocabulary a lot recently, Iâve found starting with manual fill-in review type is most useful for me to begin with at a low SRS level, but is it possible that when you reach a certain SRS level, it changes automatically to reading reveal and grade?
Or vice-versa if thatâs how youâd like to configure it.

I have been using Bunpro and Wanikani consistently for the last 3 years now. I think for earlier grammar Bunpro was great but as more nuanced and synonyms pop up I find it hard for SRS to work for grammar.
One of the issues I find is that the example sentences tend to be overcomplicated. I think the focus of the example sentences should be to help you understand how to use the grammar point. So Iâd rather they kept it simple and to the point. I donât think long sentences make sense with SRS.
Example, this phrase just showed up:
I find it overcomplicated. I donât think it helps mastering the grammar point more than a simpler phrase.
My suggestions would be:
- shorter sentences that stick to the point
- avoid A: naninani, B: naninani structure
- add an exercise system to reinforce grammar study. âGiven Grammar Point A, which sentence uses it correctlyâ exercises alone would be great.

An option to significantly increase ghost intervals. Something like: 1 day, 3.5 days, 1 week, 2 weeks. Depending on how these feel, maybe longer, something like 1 day, 1 week, 3 weeks, 8 weeks.
Why? And what is the point of ghosts in the first place?
To me, a ghost is a specific sentence that I want to SRS separately, because itâs more effective than just moving on to other example sentences within the item. Itâs usually either a conjugation that I feel Iâll get wrong again (like ćŠăă»ćŠăă»ćŠă), or a different usage nuance. Something that might not come up again in other sentences at all, or at least might not come up for months.
From this perspective, repeating the ghost 4 times in 3 days and banishing it forever doesnât feel that helpful. Lately Iâve been putting off ghosts for 1 week+ by keeping them in the back of the queue, and it still doesnât feel quite enough to stimulate memory (it is also cumbersome to do).

If they donât implement this feature or until they do, you could try just copy pasting the exact example sentence you feel you need more practice with and create a self study question for it. Each self study question follows the regular SRS pattern all the way to master as far as I can tell so you wonât need to keep hoarding your ghosts and youâll get more than enough practice with them if you do decide to carry them to master.
