:bunpro_icon: Feedback - Suggested Improvements/Feature Request

[AlphaSteam]

I find bold characters hard to remember too. I don’t use Bunpro for vocabulary learning so I haven’t noticed here. But I’ve had to modify Anki templates to make the kanji less bold

And I know it’s fairly common because I saw discussions about that in the Migaku Discord

I guess it has to do with how many kanjis are similar to each other and when you are learning them, being able to distinguish them is important. If the text is too bold, the strokes tend to blend with each other which makes it harder to notice the little differences and details

Hi,
I’m returning to Bunpro after a break, and this year I used Anki a lot. I noticed one functionality that could be really usefull: be able to configure the work load on each day of the week.
I don’t know if this has already been discussed or not here.
The principle is to be able to choose for each week day “Normal”, “Medium”, or “Minimal”.
I have a full time job, and other activities, and while I have my learning Japanases routine during the week, on the week end it is slightly harder to stick with. And catch up with the reviews on monday is not the most pleasant experience. I am not a machine, and having some days off without worrying for reviews (I usually do medium on saturday and minimal on sunday), help me reduce the SRS “pressure”, and continue on the long run.

Another suggestion, would be to modify the option for auto opening of the grammar page during review. An option for auto open only when answer is wrong would be nice.

Thanks

There are some Grammar Points that I always confuse with each other. I would like to put them together in one group and learn them separately from my normal Reviews. Is that already possible?

Feature Request

Hey, I bought Bunpro Lifetime Yesterday

As much as I like the website and appreciate that it’s accessible everywhere, I’m missing notifications on my PC. That’s why I turned the Bunpro website into a desktop app for myself that sends me notifications as soon as reviews are due. This way I can quickly open it, spend 5 minutes doing the reviews, and then continue with whatever I was doing. Otherwise, I end up opening the app in the evening and suddenly there’s a huge number of reviews waiting for me.

I think other users would also appreciate a feature like this.

Best regards

On a similar note, I noticed today while doing my reviews that furigana now doesn’t show up when I hover with my mouse, but only when I click on this, which is even less convenient than hovering the mouse. I would be happy for a shortcut to reveal furigana as well.

As far as I can tell, the grammar point させていただけませんか isn’t on bunpro… is it possible that we could have it added? (or if it is here, could someone point me to it?)

【JLPT N4 Grammar】〜させていただけませんか（~saseteitadakemasenka）

[rune]

Not as a grammar point as far as i’m aware, but it’s sort of available as a vocab item: させて頂く | Bunpro
I say ‘sort of’ bc it’s not in the question form so might not be what you wanted to add to your reviews

[cafelatte]

Thanks I would like to practice it as a grammar point if possible!

[rune]

True, would be cool if it got added (unless it’s already somewhere, n we just can’t see it )

[JamesBunpro]

Nice suggestion - This one is on our list for consideration already!

(By the way, you may find this thread useful, if you happen to think of any other grammar point suggestions in the future)

[cafelatte]

Thank you!

[Alerean]

I really wish there was a way to easily see what level grammar points are at on this screen. Sometimes before a tutoring lesson I want to quickly figure out what things I’m still struggling with to do targeted practice. Maybe some kind of “sort by level” option?

Is there another way to see what grammar points are on Beginner still? I’ve started to keep a notepad doc to do this which is very time consuming and annoying (I don’t want to have to do this mid-review).

As far as I can tell the only way to find Beginner items is to go through them one by one and check the pages 🥲

Edit: Did something different.

Suggestion: Make the “Learn” box on the dashboard also reflect grammar and vocab that wasn’t learned via clicking the “Learn” box.

I mean this thing:

Currently, it only shows how many items you’ve learned by clicking this box. When hand-picking items from a deck or from Bunpro’s grammar list and learning them, they don’t show up here. I think it’d be nice if they did.

I’d like some kind of system or game or drills to grasp verb and adjective conjugations for past and negative. I just can’t get a good grasp on them. Also cosmetics and shop in the ios app since it’s on the website.

Summary: Kanji and vocab links to Wanikani or elsewhere

I’d like the detailed information card to have links to Wanikani. This is especially important when I answer wrong and am trying to remind myself how to remember the correct answer.

• Exact vocabulary match: Wanikani sometimes has fun tips on how to remember vocabulary. Also knowing on what level the item is taught can be helpful.
• Kanji matches: Same idea, but may have multiple matches per vocabulary item.

As far as Wanikani API integration, it would be nice if it highlighted the link to Wanikani if I’d studied the item already, otherwise it could be deemphasized and say “Wanikani level 58” and I’d just have to accept that I haven’t learned it yet. But it could also just statically link regardless of my progress and that’d be nearly as good.

Even if Wanikani integration is impossible, details about kanji would be appreciated, like meaning and pronunciations. These details could be on-site or links to something like jisho.org: 雑誌 #kanji - Jisho.org.

Pitch accent when selecting any japanese word on screen.

On the mobile app, when I’m doing reveal & grade reviews, sometimes I will tap the reveal button but absolutely nothing happens for several seconds and there’s no visual indicator so it feels like I mis-tapped. Is it connection issue, is it the app chugging, I don’t know?
But when I go to tap again, if the timing is particularly unfortunate, the reveal button turns into the answer buttons right as I tap and so I end up tapping one of the answers instead.
A visual indicator that the app is “loading” would be nice to avoid that.

[MattBunpro]

Rather than a JLPT-only focused home screen, I think it could be beneficial to set our own custom goals with other decks for our own individual studies.

It could be set manually, or simply display what we have in the learn queue.

(I think being able to see our goals in small chunks like this is much nicer than having to stare down the barrel of how far away from N1 we are every time we open the app )

[MattBunpro]

While we’re on it: having more options and being able to select which ones to display on the top row would sick as well
