Please also add an option for making undo work like it used to. Now when I undo (because I accidentally clicked on correct when I got it wrong) an item I have to remember to get it wrong again
Might be easier to make the āignoreā act like how the new āundoā acts, and make the new āundoā work like it used to, maybe?
It seems the expected behavior āignoreā and āundoā buttons are known from many, but I cannot find a description of them.
Could someone explain what āignoreā supposed to do? push the current item at the back of the queue?
Ignore marks the result of the current quiz as ācorrectā which itāll be as if you just answered it correctly.
I suppose, but then Iām sure people will complain that the old Ignore button functionality is gone
If there is one thing I have learned from writing this app is that if there are five ways to do something and you implement three of them, then suddenly people will come up with three more ways and want to have those tooā¦
I donāt think scrolling did anything for me, but maybe I didnāt scroll down far enough. Iāll try again when it comes up for reviews next time!
Add a new ignore&shuffle option that does what ignore does now and restore ignore to its old functionality, i think everyone would be happy this way
I found a bug.
When the vocabulary å§ came up for review I entered ć and instead of marking it wrong the input box shook, givng me another chance. (I ended up cheating and got my ćć streak up to 5 for the first time. In the name of bug testing, of course!)
This is expected behavior for kanji reviews, but for vocab itās a wrong answer.
I think I agree.
Many thanks for this, Itās way easier like this!
And Iām already in love with this one. (Thanks to thoses who proposed it too)
Thank you for this update, and good luck with the following!
Hey hey! Just some continued praise here. I really love your app and I super thank you for all the work youāve put in (and the amount of time you spent responding to itās community)
This is actually deliberate, similar to when you type the reading in romaji when a meaning answer is requested.
I think I saw the same as @ianegg, where it was asking for the reading of a single-kanji vocabulary word, and I put in the kanji reading (wrong) and it shook. In this case, it should have been wrong because that is never the reading of the vocabulary. I didnāt take note of which vocabulary it was and what I entered, but Iāve been meaning to experiment, and then post here afterwards. (Personally, I need to learn to pay attention to color so I donāt put the kanji reading in for vocabulary.)
Edit: Worth mentioning, if it did mark it as wrong, in this one case, I would have said to myself, āOops, I put the kanji reading because I wasnāt paying attention. I know the vocabulary reading.ā Then I would have hit Undo, and put in the vocabulary reading and continued on. But if I didnāt know the vocabulary reading, Iād take the wrong.
I think an argument could be made that it shouldnāt even be an option. Thereās (generally) only one way you should read each vocabulary, and if you donāt use the right reading then itās flat out wrong.
Itās OK for kanji because there are various readings and WK is just asking for a specific one, but for vocab you need to drill the right answer into your brain when you make the mistake.
It happens on every single-kanji vocabulary where the matching kanji has more than one reading. I specifically look up the matching kanji in those cases and do the shake-and-retry thing for readings that are listed on the kanji but not on the vocab.
That is actually effectively the same thing. The shake-and-retry is essentially the same as getting it wrong and hitting undo. Since I donāt use the undo/ignore buttons myself except for testing, this is mostly a convenience for people who donāt want to use those buttons.
There are a lot of options in the app that can be argued shouldnāt be there for various reasons. Most of the settings under āAdvanced settingsā, actually. Theyāre still there because different people like to use WK in different ways. In the end, there is a reason that things like Anki mode are not available in the core product as offered by WK, and probably never will be, even though itās very popular among the people who specifically want it.
Iāll turn it into an option of some kind. Itās definitely going to stay in one form or another since I use it myself.
Yup, in this case itās the same thing, because I wasnāt paying attention to it asking for vocabulary, and I knew the vocabulary reading. And if I didnāt know the vocabulary reading, Iād go with āDonāt Knowā which is the same as if it marked as wrong and didnāt shake. I just wanted to be sure the situation @ianegg encountered was understood =)
I think the main āissueā for me is that it works differently from the web site, but I personally donāt mind it being the way itās implemented in the app. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
If you look through the forums there are a lot of requests/queries regarding this issue, and the general consensus from more experienced learners it that itās detrimental to do this. Thereās always undo/ignore if you disagree.
I see the reason to having it, but youāre potentially harming your/other peopleās progress by implementing it. You do clearly state this on the advanced setting option.
Perhaps any features that differ too much from the default behavior should be optional. Itās difficult to distinguish between convenience and making things easier, especially in the early stages.
What I find very amusing about those kinds of threads is that those arguments are almost never supported by anything more than āin my experienceā or a bunch of handwaving and donāt take into account the fact that everybody learns in their own way. I donāt like to dictate to people whatās good for them based on my own standards. I hide the really dangerous stuff behind a āthere be dragons hereā warning, but beyond that I expect people to think for themselves. And yeah, that means that sometimes people make decisions that are bad for them. Thatās a big risk with any self-study method that lacks the oversight of a professional educator. Actually, thatās a big risk with anything, period.
I donāt remember where I got the quote from but āif I stop you from doing something stupid, I will also stop you from doing something clever.ā
As a rule, they are. Thereās just no consensus on what ādiffers too muchā actually means.
i wonder how did that work out in the end?
i really do not think that is the best option, i would rather download the fonts within the app and store them in the app user storage, so you do not need to re-download them on every app update.
This is great!
My only complaint/suggestion is Iād love a dark mode. Not sure if itās been mentioned yet or not but I didnt want to read almost 300 posts just to check.
