Inside of Cram, you can scroll to the category called ‘Special’ and at the bottom you will see ‘Grammar with Ghosts’.
This will allow you to practice with the Grammar point that you have any Ghosts for, although it will not test the actual Ghost you have. The purpose of Ghosts is to spread out the item you got wrong over the course of hours so it tests whether you’re ready for it to get re-added to the normal review queue.
It would be great if there was an option to randomize SRS intervals. Right now my understanding is that they are fully deterministic, so content learned together comes back in reviews together as long as there is no mistake.
That means that reviews come bunched up together, with very quiet periods in between. Occasional mistakes add some randomization to the schedule, but not enough in my experience.
I would appreciate the option of having something like +/-20% jitter applied to each interval, to really spread out reviews over time.
Adding an option to do some post-hoc randomization of already set intervals would be great as well, to smooth out intervals already set.
Looks like a similar suggestion was made in '24 and there has been some discussion of modular widgets for the dashboard.
Optional stats widgets for Dashboard (or a quick link to stats without navigating menus). I use the heck out of these on WaniKani and would love similar for BunPro.
Stats are motivating. Visualizations of stats are nice to look at. It’d be nice to have these present on the Dashboard. Currently, I view Stats by navigating to Profile>Stats (link) and then scrolling down to look at the panels for “Reviews Done per Day” and “New Content per Day” (or via Stats from the mobile menu). I’d like to just be able to pop some of these (including other stats) into slots on my Dashboard page.
Or, as an option to not make the Dashboard UI overly cluttered, one panel with the ability to carousel through stats.
Thanks for reading!
Any estimated date for the “skip review” button?
Fully agree. Would be a very welcome improvement to the SRS spacing.
This +1000. I went here just to check if this has been suggested.
I would also like to extend this suggestion to each practice question.
Almost all language learning programs that I’ve used have the same problem, you can phrase something in a few different ways and sometimes the program has trouble communicating to you what they seek.
That leads to users being frustrated when they’re being marked wrong due to the issue I mentioned above. A discussion section would be so helpful avoiding this kind of problem.
This has been a feature for a long time now, you can find the collection of each thread here or by scrolling to the bottom of any grammar page and seeing the discussion block down there.
Current version (Review → Info → Related Grammar Point)
- Even when scrolling down, most of your screen space is filled with obsolete padding
This makes the page feel claustrophobic, and harms the users ability to quickly contrast between different items written on the page
- Arrow takes you back to home instead of returning to reviews
Perhaps this was implemented as the arrow points left? However, as arrows in Bunpro always take you back one page, this feels unnatural. Scrolling down to return to reviews also feels finicky at the moment.
- Having the banner shifted downwards feels… Very weird… (Title, search, arrow, etc.)
- The answer at the top collides weirdly with Apple’s UI elements (especially for users with a center dock)
I understand that this change may have been implemented with the intention of improving flow of information and UX (making it more obvious that the user is still in reviews, instead of the gist that perhaps they’ve exited out of reviews) – however I think it could’ve been approached differently
- Make it clear the user is still in reviews
- Want the arrow to be lore accurate
Rough Proposal (Review → Info → Related Grammar Point)
Clicking on Related Grammar would function as it currently does. However, the root page would be differentiated by:
- The top part is tab-shaped, with the user’s set review background as the background and other UI elements hidden
This is done with the intention of not having the app’s UI collide with system UI
- The arrow is lore accurate and brings you back to the reviews, quickly hiding the info section with a downward motion (I honestly don’t find much of an issue with the left pointing one, however I do find it quite frustrating that it takes you back to the homepage instead of back to reviews)
in retrospect, however, i definitely feel the arrow should be pointing downwards instead of up, as it’s a tab and not a full-page ui
bunpro i love u but this update has me feeling a bit antsy
Very nice feedback,
We are going back to the previous solution (that differs sligthly form the website).
Cheers 
Please add a way to set and remove Master+ status asap 
I’ll also throw my hat in supporting some kind of feature that alleviates the ‘spikiness’ in review density such as slightly random intervals, or perhaps upon reviewing items that are at a larger interval, Bunpro could take a peek at the date that the review is added to, and avoid overfilling a single day with reviews buy adding it to a nearby day with fewer reviews so that over time, you don’t end up with future days with hundreds of reviews followed by days with under 50, as well as helping to break apart items that were learned at the same time. (holy run on sentence)
If you limit yourself to some fixed amount of reviews/time per day, the result over time will be the same as jittering.
The same effect would be a simple UI element that tracked your review/learn total as a goal. “I want to do 100 items per day” would result in consistent pacing than “I hope the jitterer gives me an even amount of reviews per day.”
The only downside is if you had a compulsion to always get reviews to 0, which is noble, but mentally taxing.
The problem with fixed reviews over time is that then you might not review the newest set of items if you have reviews set on random (which I have it set so as to avoid having the additional information during the review of knowing how recent the item was learned)
Either they’re randomized at the time of setting an SRS duration… resulting in some evened out # per day, like 100 / day, or they’re randomized at the time of hitting “review”, resulting in 100 / day.
Assuming jitter randomness at the item level (which is how Bunpro currently updates items during reviews), you get a worse result with jittering in that some items will “jit” past the normal review day.
e.g. With an even-out algorithm targeting 50 reviews / day, instead of having the option to do 200 on Monday, you have only 50, then 50 on Tuesday, 50 on Wednesday and 50 on Thursday. - this really just makes jittering worse overall
I’m all about giving people more options btw. If having 150 reviews “hanging” on Monday demotivates people, jit away 
150 is nothing, when I first started Bunpro I added all of N5 in some ridiculously huge chunks meaning that whenever those come back around I’ll have days that just dump like 500+ N5 vocab words on me in one go. I really should try to deliberately space those out next time they come up, but some level of jitter would make days where you added a whole bunch hurt less later on
Only 500? Rookie numbers. Somehow a huge chunk of my vocab plus ghosts have been dumped on me…2324 reviews to get through… very hard to be motivated 
Have toyed with the idea of just starting again because at least then I can clear my reviews daily, which I used to enjoy doing.
ive certainly had far more than 500 come due in one day, im saying that those 500-ish were all added on the same day and therefore always come back around at the exact same time
i think the worst review stack ive had was when i synched wanikani, went through everything with ghost creation on, and suddenly had an absolutely spectacular pile of vocab ghosts that i was too stubborn to delete
Hi! I’m not sure if this has been suggested before, but recently I realized it would be really useful to have the ability to start a cram session directly from the progress block.
I know it’s possible to use the Cram section and choose categories like beginner, adept, etc. in special, but those lists include both grammar and vocabulary together. If I want to cram only vocabulary from the Beginner level, I currently have to add the words manually.
Because of that, I think it would be much more convenient to have the option to start a vocab cram directly from the dashboard, using the progress blocks.
I think it’s fair to say that for any given learning item, moving the learning date away from the normal day can have an impact, but certainly the longer the review time is for an item, the less precise the ideal review date is. I think even only shifting items that have a review date of a week or longer could go a long way, as even I can see now in my queue I have a day in the next week that has 250 items next to a day with less than 50, and if both were 150ish it would be easier to stay in my typical routine without sacrificing any learning efficiency.
Hi there,
Maybe a bit of a niche quality-of-life request, but I’d love to be able to set Lightning Mode independently for vocab and grammar reviews.
