Ok. Feedback time. :stuck_out_tongue:

I love the app. I will probably do most of the grammar this weekend. But here are some things that would spruce things up.

These are arranged in the most annoying (to me) to the least annoying issues, thus far.

(I tested on my PC-1080p (Chrome) OnePlus3 Phone-5.5" (Android 7.1.2) Pixel C Tablet-10" (Android 8.0))

  1. Swipe Gestures

Many times I was trying to scroll up and down and accidentally moved to the next grammar point. I don’t see a lot of use being able to switch between grammar points in general. If there had to be a swipe feature I think it may be better utilized to move between Meaning, Example, and More. I don’t think anyone would mind at all going back to the lesson page

  1. Scroll Boxes

When the text overflows the box you have to scroll in it to see more info. Since you have to scroll anyways on the smart phone because it always goes farther than the screen it makes less sense to me to cram it into a small 400px tall view than me being able to read the full information on my whole screen.

  1. Lessons Page

This renders great on my pc. On my phone it’s a little bulky, but usable:

On my tablet it does not arrange correctly:

  1. English Button

This is a nifty feature. It seems to be required to be turned on every time you start a review set. Perhaps set an option to make it stay turned on or off in settings.

  1. Profile Page

Feels like an odd place to put in the account section under a dropdown menu to see what your stats are. Perhaps make the 文プロ link in the top left redirect to there when you log in. I have no need to go to the home page and see how it works once I’ve signed up.

  1. Grammar > Search

This does not seem to be set up yet. But when I try to load it and I hit a 404 page it makes the dropdown menus “Grammar” and “Account” unable to load. Even clicking on the other links does not fix this. This may be do to how things are being loaded on the web page. A page refresh via the browser is required to make them work again.

  1. Final Thoughts

I will continue to test this and give you guys feedback. There’s a couple other things that I might change but those are mainly just me being picky. I’ll be patient and see how things develop.

Thank you very much for this awesome solution and let me know if you have any questions.
