Furigana toggle option removed? & inconsistency between Devices

Support & Feedback Forum
1

I use lingq for android, pc, and ipad to learn Japanese and i will just list the problems in bullet points.

Between all devices, there seems to be no option to toggle furigana that i can find and there are just some pretty bad inconsistencies that have made it difficult to just open up lingq and start studying.

Android

  • no reader settings at all. Just lessons settings.
  • No options to turn off spacing between words for Japanese
  • no furigana option
    Ipad
  • no furigana option
  • single sentence audio not working (i have reported this before)
    Forum
  • for some reason when i go to the forum it is always really difficult to find the “new thread” option in the top corner. It just sometimes is not there.

PC seems to work the best but still no furigana toggle. I know it used to be there because i have furigana on ios but its stuck on there so if i want it off i need to go to another device.

It seems between each device you have to go searching to find the settings button in a different location each time or a certain feature wont work on one device. It would be really great if the experience was the same no matter what app you use because i really believe in lingQ and want to love it but right now its just frustrating to use.

Heya, Eric from LingQ here. Thanks for your feedback.

Android

  • no reader settings at all. Just lessons settings.
    There are reader settings in the Android app. However, the reader settings window is labeled as [Lesson Settings]. When you are in a lesson, click the gear icon at the bottom right. Imgur: The magic of the Internet
  • No options to turn off spacing between words for Japanese
    I have notified development and they replied by saying that this feature will come in the next update.
  • no furigana option
    The option is there but…it doesn’t work. Imgur: The magic of the Internet Development is taking a look into this and it should be fixed. Sorry.

Ipad

  • no furigana option
    There should be. It’s actually labelled [Hiragana]. I accessed it on my iOS phone, so it should be the same for iPad. See instructions here: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
  • single sentence audio not working (i have reported this before)
    I tested this out and it works fine for me. Is this for ALL your lessons in sentence mode or is it for a specific lesson (ie - imported lessons).

PC seems to work the best but still no furigana toggle.

It’s there - it’s labelled as [Hiragana] Imgur: The magic of the Internet

We’re working on new features for LingQ and for it to be easier to use for our users. Thanks for the feedback and we’ll be sure to add it to our notes.
