Android bugs

#23 We have fixed all (the ones we know of) issues related to dark mode. now Additional info, grammar text, attributes but also when you use markdown in additional info (that took us a long time to figure out it was markdown text!) should show with better contrast.

Edit: sorry I originally mentioned #27 but it was #23

[Olaf.Rabbachin]

Thanks, Jesus! I’ve amended the original posting to reflect this. That is, the only bug I related to the ones mentioned by you was #23. That said, can’t quote on the other ones reg. whether or not this has been fixed. I can, however, see additional information now when tapping the -icon.

1. Add. info bug is fixed
2. There’s still white blocks in mems section
3. Announcements (for example, when you want to leave a session) have white background

[JBorrego (Jesus)]

thanks!

on 2 and 3 Could you please add screenshots? We can target those for sure

@JBorrego Here’s another one.

Besides, can’t start classic review sessions in many community courses - tried five courses, three of them show this error.

[JBorrego (Jesus)]

Thank you! I will raise these. I am not sure how they will look like or if they will change as specially the messages are alerts for confirmation but perhaps could be less dramatic to the eye in a slightly different (and darker) color

[JBorrego (Jesus)]

Hi all,

just revising the list perhaps you can help me get to the bottom of some of these issues.

With the improvements to the dashboard and loading screens we believe 7 is fixed and 8 should be fixed too but if not, we would like some advice on how to replicate it.

@Olaf.Rabbachin

• when moving between courses, hitting i.e. the repeat-button may start a session for the wrong (i.e. the previously active) course , if the user has progressed in the active course and the app needs to scroll from lesson 1 to the current/next lesson (timing problem)
• (related to topic above:) when hitting the repeat-button too early, the session will actually start a general repetition using ALL words instead of the words currently queued for repetition

We did some work on 11 some time ago and I have not seen that lately so I think it is fixed but let me know if you can still see it

@Olaf.Rabbachin

repetition session: the score is sometimes hidden ; this applies to the score for a single task as well as to the overall score

same with 12, we did some work some time ago and should be fixed

@Olaf.Rabbachin

repetition sessions: the ‘can’t listen right now’ button isn’t shown at times (speaker button at the top right of the window)

we refactored the audio library a few versions ago and we believe 20 should be fixed but if you can reproduce it please let us know

@Olaf.Rabbachin

While, during a review session, an audio test comes up, the audio only plays once and can not be repeated, so you either have to guess or turn off audio tests

Kindest,
Jesus

[JBorrego (Jesus)]

on top of those

I’d need some specific example on 15 as I am not sure how to reproduce it

@Olaf.Rabbachin

With longer phrases (word order puzzles), the words may end up underneath the words that have already been added to the phrase , making it impossible to see the remaining words and difficult to touch on the tiny bit that is visible without removing previous words; see this posting

and for 25, for us to understand what is going on, could you please compare 5 and 7 words sessions and tell us exactly where is the difference? I have tried but i am not sure where the problem is.

@Olaf.Rabbachin

Learning sessions with 7 words are not working properly, see this post further down

Cheers,
Jesus

Jesus, since you are here… Sorry if I’m late, but noticed it only recently. Your team made another ‘improvement’ in the app - audio button is pulsating now. This is totally unnecessary. I mean, If people are here to learn, they don’t need bells and whistles, which are not only helping, but even more distracting for your attention.

Also, you can see these overlapping buttons. It’s been more than a year now since this happening. You either should scale back audio button (why in hell it’s so big?) or make this whole thing adjustable to the screen. Don’t you see that it’s inconvenient for the users to type? Screens are from official courses, the same thing exists for certain items in the user created courses, but I told you already about it.

Hi, just popping in here since this seems to be the big bug topic

I just noticed that since the update, courses don’t seem to load well anymore. I can load a course when opening the app, but if I then want to go to a new course it just keeps loading and I need to leave the app and start it again for it to load. Anyone else having this problem?

[Olaf.Rabbachin]

The last three I think are fixed, you’re right. The first one though is still present.

[Olaf.Rabbachin]

@JBorrego

I can’t provide any assistance on this one as I haven’t ever come across this personally. It might be best to ask in the thread that I linked.

@JBorrego

and for 25, for us to understand what is going on, could you please compare 5 and 7 words sessions and tell us exactly where is the difference? I have tried but i am not sure where the problem is.

It’s pretty easy to reproduce: when you do a 10 or 7 words learning session in a community course, you’d expect to “plant” all words in two sessions. However, with 10 you’ll be left with (I think) 5 or 7 after the second session. in fact I tried this out yesterday and I had to go through 3 sessions (10, 5, 3 words) to fully learn the 10 words.

Seconded, this has happened to me a few times as well.

[JBorrego (Jesus)]

I assume you mean 7 & 8?

Could you send me either here or via DM a video? We now protect against that with loading states so we are keen to know what’s escaping our radar.

Thanks Olaf!

[Olaf.Rabbachin]

@JBorrego

That was about 11, 12 and 20. I’ve flagged these as “fixed” in the original posting

@JBorrego

Ahem, a video about what? If this is about learning 7 or 10 items, you could easily repro that yourselves by following the explanations I gave here.

[JBorrego (Jesus)]

@Olaf.Rabbachin

sorry i didnt quote, hence the misunderstanding.
I meant when you say “the first one” you mean 7&8? and if so, can you help me out with a video?

About the learning 7 or 10 words I believe i can reproduce it with the info you provided above indeed.

Thanks!

[Olaf.Rabbachin]

@JBorrego

I meant when you say “the first one” you mean 7&8? and if so, can you help me out with a video?

I suppose a description is more helpful than a video. Also, this video would get pretty lengthy as you have to go through sessions, so here’s a description:

• go to one course and do a repetition session (or whatever else)
• after the session ended, switch to a different course (I always do these in a row from bottom to top)
• tap the three dots button and start i. e. an upcoming review (you may have to do this quickly)

You might have to try this a few times - the problem doesn’t always happen, but very frequently.
Particularly if you don’t wait until the app does whatever scrolling it seems to require doing. Sometimes waiting a while doesn’t help either.
Also notable is the fact that, for a good many weeks, the course list will take a few seconds to update when switching between courses.

For instance, I usually keep older/finished courses in my “personal order” and work through the list from bottom to top. This means that some courses may have no words to be reviewed in which case I tap them once (so they remain in the order I want them), wait for the course screen to come up, then go back to the course list / dashboard and select the next course. When doing this quickly for two courses, the first course will not have been moved away from its position in the dashboard to the top of the list. For that to happen, I’d have to wait 1-3s until it gets removed from its original position therein.

Hope that’s clear enough?

@Olaf.Rabbachin

Did you notice a pause of some seconds (1.5-2) they have added after each audio? If a course contains audio files it takes about 2-3 minutes more than before to finish speed (50+50) or classic reviews. They did it maybe a month ago.

[Olaf.Rabbachin]

@Hombre_sin_nombre

Did you notice a pause of some seconds (1.5-2) they have added after each audio?

Not really, but what has changed (IDK, maybe 2 months ago?) is that, during speed reviews, the app now waits until the audio of an item has finished completely. Before the change, i. e. long sentences were simply cut off by the next item. I actually liked that quite a lot as it made the whole thing a lot quicker!

BTW, speed review is called turbo in the German version which I think no longer really applies since the change …
