New Review Settings Aug 27th 2025

I think maybe a lot of people (well at least myself) can’t/don’t want to do listening exercises every time, but it would be nice to have an option to do it for ‘the current review session’. Would that be possible?

I agree with Rustx. I’m keen to try master+ mode, but I do not want 300+ reviews coming in one go to clear. Is there an easier way rather than marking individual grammar points day-by-day? Maybe a randomly allocated 1-2 points per day?

Btw Another great update too guys, thank you.

Maybe you could do something like turning it on, doing however many reviews you want, then turning it off again? I would expect it to retain the last review date even when you turn it off, but haven’t tested this.

For those of you wanting to do listening-only versions only sometimes, or in addition to your usual fill-in, listening cram sessions might be helpful. Otherwise I suppose it would likely require developing a separate review schedule for a listening version of each card, doubling the number of your permanent reviews so that you are tested twice on everything.

I second this. There should be an extra setting to choose how many you want to be added everyday like how you can choose how many new grammar or vocab lessons there are each day.

I posted this in a previous discussion about Master+ before it was released, but going to repost my thoughts below:

I don’t suppose there’s any way to make this an item or deck specific setting rather than a global one? I’d love to use this feature, but don’t really want to be getting recurring reviews for very simple words like 私、これ、etc when studying for N1+ :sweat_smile:

As a follow up to this, I’m also curious how this will affect the performance of enabling/disabling vacation mode. Doing a quick test now, I have 2848 items which took about 5 minutes to process when disabling vacation mode. It timed out partway (which happens every time I turn vacation mode off), so I had to re-start it again partway.

If I enable the Recurring Mastered setting, this will spike my items to 7,379, so can I assume that my vacation mode processing time will also now double/triple?

What Grammar/Vocab item is broken for you (the one in the screenshot)?
It shouldn’t be a browser issue, it might just be broken audio for that specific Vocab/Grammar.

how do I know what word in the sentence is being tested?

Hitting “Show Answer” will reveal the sentence, with the item being question highlighted.

You have to select “Reveal & Grade” as the Answer type and it should display fine.

We’re gonna switch the Review Type system to a simple dropdown in the future, instead of the Question/Answer split.

Will be adding something that will allow this in a future update.

It’s not one specific item… I can’t get the audio to play (or the play button to appear) for anything. Even when I look at the answer card and the sentence is revealed, I can’t play the audio. This only happens for vocabulary reviews when it’s set to Listening mode in a web browser. Grammar reviews play fine and everything plays fine in the app on mobile.

re: my question about what word is being tested: what I mean is that if the “question” on the front of the card is just audio of a full example sentence, I don’t know what word is actually being tested until I flip the card and see the whole sentence. Is that how it’s supposed to work? It seems like it could end up being very difficult to focus on the word being tested (and thus kind of inefficient) if it’s part of a larger sentence that may contain words that haven’t been learned yet.

I just did a bunch of Master+ reviews and got a bunch wrong…but from what I can tell they’re impervious to dropping any levels and are still at Master+.

Was this a conscious decision or is there a way this could be tweaked - personally I’d like them to come back into my reviews faster than another 6 months since I clearly can’t remember them :smile:

If I have a bunch of things in my master list that have been sitting there for a while, I’m worried that enabling master+ will inundate me with hundreds of review items which will get in the way of me reviewing other stuff that is more important to review in the short term. Is there a way to drip feed just a certain maximum number of master+ items per day?

You have “Hide TTS Audio” enabled. Are you able to turn it off here plz?

I’ll need to make this question type revert to Reading mode.

I’ll add some warnings too to stop the same sort of thing happening in the future.

Welcome to the forums!

Correct. It will keep them at Master+.
This was a conscious decision. You’ll need to manually change the SRS level at the end of the Summary!

Welcome to the forums!

You could potentially use the Sort ByAscending/Descending SRS Level in the Quiz settings to switch between the different types

This would actually work I believe.
If you have thousands of Master+ items though, the switch will take a while.

Will add this! Vocab/Grammar split for Minimum Ghost SRS.

Was a bad oversight by me.
Watch this space!
