:bunpro_icon: Feedback - Suggested Improvements/Feature Request

Bunpro
#4077

Thanks for bringing this up. We’d definitely like to take a closer look if there are examples that seem off.

If you happen to run into any specific sentences/items, the feedback button on the review page is still the best route for this kind of thing, since it lets us jump directly to the exact content and track it internally. General observations can be helpful, but concrete examples make it much easier for us to investigate and implement changes where needed.

As for the hints being mismatched, it looks like you are using the app when this issue is happening.

You may be pulling from some old data, which would cause you to see mismatched hints. On the app, if you go to: Settings-> General → (scroll down to the bottom) Re-Sync Data → Re-Sync All, you should download current hint data and shouldn’t experience any more issues.

Could we have a feature where you can bookmark example sentences you like?

I have a routine of writing down example sentences I like on paper and read them out aloud everyday. These are usually sentences I made a mistake with or those that contains constructs I found useful. I found out that this helps with verbal output a lot.

The added benefit of having it directly on Bunpro would be that I can just listen to a continuous stream of audio, which helps with listening. Would be very useful to do on commute, when I don’t want to hold up my phone and type in words.

Some feature ideas:

  • Add a “Add bookmark” button (a star icon?) to every example sentence both under:
    • the vocab/grammar points, and
    • the SRS interface, when you review the sentence.
  • Add a “My Bookmarked Sentences” page where you can see all your bookmarked sentences.
    • BONUS: You can play the audios of the sentences as if they are songs in a spotify playlist. You should be able to shuffle them or play them in the reverse chronological order.
      • On the mobile app, this should keep playing even if you lock your phone or switch to a different app.
  • Add a SRS mode called “Translation Exercise” where you are prompted with the sentence’s English translation, and tries to say the corresponding Japanese sentence. This is also something I routinely do (see the screenshot below) and find it useful as an output practice.

About shuffling audio: we can bias the shuffling algorithm so it prioritizes recently added sentences (kind of like how SRS works).

About translation exercise: It would look something like this.

There is no hard accept/reject standard, the user decides if they said the sentence reasonably well or missed a huge part of it.

Love this! I take screenshots of sentences I want to remember/use later, and it gets messy keeping track of that 😵‍💫

Two related suggestions…

  1. on iOS it’s quite fiddly to actually see today’s reviews completed on the ‘Activity’ graph. You pretty much have to hold your finger halfway off the phone and then your finger is in the way of the numbers that pop up anyway

  2. I would like to more easily see how many reviews I’ve done on the dashboard. It’s by far the most common reason I check the dashboard and it can be tedious to find that information. Making this worse is that swapping between the Activity and Forecast graphs isn’t very smooth on iOS (you have to swipe specific sections of free space :woozy_face:)
