Major Changes

Gestures Control:

Vocab Cram

• It is now possible to cram vocab. You can cram both vocab and grammar at the same time.

Grammar Flashcards

• It is now possible to cram grammar flashcards.

Other Changes:

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the issue where the screen became blank during reviews when using the reading or listening review types.

Thank you so much for your feedback! Because of your input, we’ve been able to squash bugs quickly and introduce exciting new features. The app is still evolving, but we’re making great progress.

Please continue sharing your thoughts whenever you can. We read every piece of feedback and are constantly working to make the app more user-friendly.

Thank youuuuu! I absolutely love the double tap to show feature!! Just tested out gestures on 200+ vocab reviews and they’re a life saver. I will say the swipe gestures didn’t follow through the animation on maybe 1/4 of them, but that’s because my thumb is lazy and didn’t swipe all the way lol. But that did make me think of maybe having a “skip animation” option? Or an option to increase sensitivity. Not a big deal, overall it’s a major improvement already.
Other than that, I see that you can choose which direction to assign swipe answers. Will we be able to also assign up and down gestures to answers in the future?

Also I do like the color confirmations of the incorrect and correct answers very much. Thank you for implementing gestures you guys are the best

Looks good!
Do you think animations for flashcards could be available for cram too in the future?

[Gabrielkarrer]

a mind as deep as the abyss.

[mrnoone]

They already work in cram though

[seblue]

This is great except now it doesn’t work on mobile for me… or at least the app doesn’t.

[mrnoone]

Hey and welcome on the community forums @seblue
Could you provide more details?

[lkjaerozhang]

It might not be the same issue but I also saw issues after the upgrading the android app to 0.4.1. The app would just be stuck on the splash screen with the bunpro icon, but would never progress from there. I tried a few obvious troubleshooting techniques like quitting the app and restarting my phone, but the only thing that worked was uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

I’m on android 14 - feel free to follow up to get any other information that would help debug.

Edit: I hadn’t updated the app which made everything slow.

Original Post

Since this update all UI controls during review are really slow and I keep tapping things twice on accident because I think the UI didn’t respond. This is despite gestures being disabled

This is on a Pixel 6 Pro

[mrnoone]

Hey!
What is your exact version?
The version 0.4.1+179 should fix the not responsive ui.

[IcyIceBear]

I’m not getting automatic furigana reveal upon answering/flipping the vocab cards. I know it does it on web, is it suppose to for the app too?

App version: 0.4.1+176

Device: SM-G975F

OS: Android 12

UI Language: en

[lkjaerozhang]

Currently? 0.4.1+181. But that’s after uninstalling & reinstalling to fix the issue, so it might be a different version.

[mrnoone]

The bug with being stuck at the splash screen has been fixed at the latest version

@IcyIceBear
I am looking into it.

[IcyIceBear]

In app it shows I have bookmarked decks that aren’t actually bookmarked. They were at one time, but not actively and I can’t remove them the web doesn’t show them in bookmarks, only the app. When I reinstalled the app (after the gesture update when it got stuck) the ghost bookmarks remained.

Also I just bookmarked a new deck on web and it doesn’t show on app EDIT: this part is because the Pokemon special deck isn’t listed at all on the app yet, and doesn’t show as part of daily learning queue either missing deck solved by reinstalling app

Not bothered, just thought it was strange and you should know (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)

unbookmarked bookmarks

@mrnoone

Enable gestures during reviews by tapping the gear icon and then the “enable gestures” slider.

I’m excited to try this, but I can’t find this slider. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled to make sure I had the current version.

I’ll attach some screenshots:

Summary

[IcyIceBear]

during reviews like, enter a review session and tap the settings icon at the top left

[Galleya]

I have the iOS app with the newest update but the gesture feature is not working. During my reviews I still habe the type field and can not do any gestures.

[IcyIceBear]

Are your reviews set to manual? Gestures are only gonna make sense for flashcard styles and reading modes. You can change how you’re asked to answer your reviews by going into deck settings and updating all

[JandroSantiago]

Thank you!

And @mrnoone , I found a bug. When I change the review limit and save, it turns off gestures and I have to go back into settings to turn it back on.

Also, I LOVE this feature! Great animation and great functionality, awesome!

I liked it so much that I set up AnkiDroid to the same controls, alas, without the cool animations.

[mrnoone]

Hey!
I am looking into it, probably will be fixed with the next udpate.

Glad you like it, words like this really motivate us haha
