:bunpro_icon: Feedback - Suggested Improvements/Feature Request

[Scept]

First time submitting anything here, so no idea if this is the correct place to ask, but for IPhone Notifications, is it possible to implement the notifications to be sent every hour if you have not done the reviews by then?

I sometimes forget I have reviews and the bunpro app only sends the notification once and never again until all reviews are completed. Even something like the wanikani app (Tsurukame) does with notifications every time a new review is added would be great, just so the notifications appear more than once.

Thank you so much!

This.

I was also missing the meaning of the kanji, because at the moment I’m grinding kanji alongside vocabulary.
For me, the solution was to show the kanji’s meaning and reading only if I entered the correct answer.

I wrote a small script that does this for me. When I click on the kanji, it takes me directly to WaniKani.
I probably can’t share the script here because of the ToS, but here are some screenshots.

That’s sweet, thanks for sharing! I think I’m most interested in seeing this info when I get something wrong and check the details card, but having it on correct answers seems useful, too. Anything to keep reinforcing all those kanji and help them stick.

[howell]

I mean, when the answer is shown

After playing a bit around, this would be awesome to have in the bunpro core.

best regards

Would it be at all possible to have some objective frequency or “usefulness” for grammar points? I understand that usefulness might be subjective, but I would find myself much more motivated to take more time on something I know I will be using more… I hope there wouldn’t be a reverse effect on less common grammar (I am always motivated to be correct, so probably not).

I just happen to find myself discouraged as I learn more grammar, but don’t feel that I actually “cross paths” with them too much in my life (I live in Japan).

It may exist and I just haven’t noticed… but I do see the frequency suggestions in vocabulary, and that’s nice

[Shneeki]

I also would love to be able to switch all of my current reviews to be batched once daily. I found the setting to have new reviews do that, but is it technically possible to have the current ones changed (I have no idea what the magnitude of my request is haha)?

I’m very serious about study, but I could also greatly benefit from not having to see new reviews show up later in the day. I’ve got four kids and I am very busy with work, but I also have a personality that cannot ignore an inbox. Please help me not suck at being drawn back to reviews!

[Alerean]

I wish there was a “spoiler mode” that hides the number of reviews due. It’s demotivating when you step off the gas a bit, and then come back to a massive backlog of reviews (enough to need at least 3-4 weeks to clear).

[Shneeki]

Thanks! I did see that, too, but it doesn’t apply the setting to your past reviews… which are in the thousands for me haha

[Alerean]

Review order sorting seems to be broken which doesn’t help the issue at all when you have thousands of reviews

I haven’t been able to psych myself up to tackle my vocab reviews lately and it’s only getting harder. 🪦

Am somewhat considering just resetting data or something…but that won’t save time and will only be useful for getting past the mental block I guess.

[smija]

The option to hide the level of the vocab or grammar (Beginner 2) until you answer would be nice (like how wanikani does it). I find myself sometimes able to deduce the answer by the level because it gives me an idea of how recent I learned the item.

I’m loving the Jlpt mock tests, they are a great addition to the app. But If I could add one thing, that would be allowing users to see an audio transcript, for the questions in the audio section, once you have finished the test.

I did a N3 mock test in the app and wanted to improve on my score, so I went back to each and every question I got wrong, to see what specifically was the problem. In the reading section was easy to see my mistakes, but in the audio section, even after listening to the questions over and over again, without transcripts, I still couldn’t understand some of the stuff being said, thus was unable to improve that much.

Thank you for your work!

Feature Suggestion:

The verb conjugation questions are very useful. It would be nice to have a practice area that just focuses on verb conjugations into their various forms.

Cheers!

Boy, have they got a surprise (coming) for you! (Check “our goals for 2026”)

[PiveteauTheophile]

A better dictionary entry for (found in Community deck “Kaishi 1.5k”)

[RiftGazing]

There was a bug that caused that to happen a little while ago that got fixed, I honestly miss it and wish it was an option

[1LastTry]

I would love a button that would provide the ability to listen to the articles in the Reading Practice.

And yes, I realize it’s practice for “reading,” but after reading the article, it would be tremendously helpful to hear it spoken to reinforce what I’ve learned.

[BreadmanNin]

I might be misunderstanding you, but the reading practice stories already have audio. Click here to play it:

[1LastTry]

Whoa, that is exactly what I wanted! Unfortunately, I’m going through the N1 readings, and apparently that feature has yet to be enabled. I never looked at any of the other levels.

[frogg]

Good news, there is already an audio transcript in the JLPT listening session ! It’s only available after you’ve finished said session and got your score, maybe that’s the issue for you ?
