As a lot of people, myself included, are not happy with how Classic Review has been altered in the new Beta version, I propose one of the following resolutions:
1) Introduce a new separate mode called "Typing Review"
In this mode, you would only be faced with typing tests and nothing else. Every single word being reviewed would have to be spelled out. As for sentences/phrases, they would also have to be spelled out in their entirety.
2) Rename the new classic review in beta to “Mixed Review”, and introduce a new “Classic Review” that’s more like the old classic review, with mostly typing test and multiple choice tests.
This option would also be okay if option 1 isn’t feasible.
I really really hate the new Classic Review in beta. I’ll say it again, if that mode makes it out of beta and becomes permanent as it as right now, I’m gone… It doesn’t work for me. It doesn’t do anything for me. You ask us to choose/spell out what we hear, while you completely forget about translation, so we don’t actually recall or learn anything. It’s useless.
Moreover, you don’t really respond to this issue. You don’t listen to your customers. You barely communicate. And unfortunately I doubt that’ll change, even with the outrage over the recent changes. Prove me wrong.
