I love the extra study newly learned widget, and the fact that the curriculum now has a ton of vocab. Unfortunately, both of these things combined means I have 50 items in the recently learned queue. At 50 items in the widget, I think it might actually be better to just accept that my review scores will be low, and therefor have +10-20 extra items per review. OTOH, if we were able to study by item type, I could target the newish 12 hanzi (I learn 6 per day). I find that words are much easier because the reading is basically free, and the meanings are usually guessable if you know the requisite characters. This could also apply to the recent mistakes widget.
Also for both widgets, it would additionally be useful to optionally remove items you have already answered correctly in a review from the study session .
Thanks for the feedback! One item in our ever-growing backlog is to make going into the extra study session start with some sort of pop-up modal where one can un-check any items they don’t want to review before launching the actual study session. I think this, once implemented, should solve your pain points.
Just wanted to emphasize that I would also find this feature really useful. I’m not sure where it is on the priority list, but I think being able to drill down on the most important things I’ve missed or learned recently could really improve my studying and retention. In particular, if one wants to use one of the jump start settings, this type of targeted extra study can be crucial to retention and currently it’s not feasible to do 100+ items multiple times a day through extra study.
Yeah, I think the Recently Learned widget gets pretty unusable for those with a higher daily lesson limit. The usual case I imagine is just to review today’s items, or yesterday’s items, etc.
We’re looking into revamping this with the pop-up modal suggested above
I’m really hoping to see this launch alongside an option to open up indefinite jump-start for all users, and not just lifetime subs. All paying subscribers should have the flexibility to get through the course at a our own pace, especially once the tools to better manage the load are available
