@mbryantms raised some very good questions I am also interested in. Unfortunately thread was closed due to no relpy, so I raise them up again:
"Hi all – love the app. I have been learning a ton and have found this app to be amazing. I have a few questions was hoping to get feedback on:
The number of “cards due” on iOS and the number of “items to review” on web don’t always sync or reflect the same value. Are these measuring the same thing? I switch between the two platforms (web during work breaks and primarily iOS at night) so I’m curious if these are measuring differently and how that might impact my study.
As far as the web “items to review” goes…what is that actually counting down? On the iOS app when an item is missed it is listed a “+1” and shows the items to go. Then there’s an actual end of the deck whereas the web keeps going. I know both have options to continue studying in different ways but is there a way to “complete” reviews for the day on the web? What’s the difference between the two platforms?
Any chance iOS may get an option for pinyin input like on web? Would make it easier to give a hard “either you know it or you don’t” rather than a “yeah that’s what I meant” response.
Are there keyboard shortcuts for web? I’ve googled and searched a bit but haven’t found anything for the web app.
Lastly, the stats page reflects “characters learned” and appears to only reflect those characters that I’ve mastered “writing.” I’ve made the choice (may be unpopular here!) to master the pinyin, tones, and definition for each character and hold off on the writing – thus it’s currently disabled. Is there a way to adjust this “All Time” box to reflect more specifically “Tones/Reading/Definiton” learned? Similar info is at the bottom of the page but it’s more reflective of the progress than the current state of Total learned.
Hi, we are happy to hear that you are loving the app!
Right now the mobile app tracks more things (learn and test activities) and in a slightly different way when compared to the website. The discrepancy between a count on the web version / mobile app (if there is one) is because the website and app currently measure things a little differently. We plan on bringing the website to parity with the app in the future and are currently working on it. However, at the moment, we do not have a timeline for when Skritter 4.0 will be released.
The website has endless reviews at the moment. It doesn’t use daily scheduling. It is counting down due cards, but, since it doesn’t grab all cards due at the start of the day, those numbers change a bit over time.
We are currently working on some exciting 4.0 updates to improve both the app and website. We will be making improvements to the review process. I will pass this feedback to the development team.
Yes, there are keyboard shortcuts for the web. I’m going to test them out and create a doc. I will share that here once I am done with it. Will try to get that finished tomorrow to share.
There’s not currently a way to have the main stats based on anything other than writings for now on the website.
