This is still broken.
It’s a bug if users don’t want it.
It’s a bug if it is unintented behaviour, which isn’t the case. It is however an annoyance to ignore a simple and reasonable fix - moving the lesson finished button to a different spot as opposed to the next page button.
If you want to intentionally close a lesson without the remaining words beeing marked as known, you can use the cross in the upper left corner (on Desktop, in the app the position may differ).
It doesn’t reflect customer wishes. It doesn’t work as it should. a main problem is the unintentional action during normal clicking action.
It has just added 100 words to my tally because of the stupid end of lesson buttons. On a tablet, the next lesson and end screen are in the same place.
Place stop this awful function of adding words at the end of a lesson, assuming they are known.
Please remove the additional words.
@bbbblinq Sorry but it’s not possible to undo this. You can go through a lesson, select white words you don’t know and save them as LingQs instead.
I’ve used the app for about a week now, but this is turning out to be a deal breaker for me and I don’t plan to extend my subscription until a checkbox is added to turn this off.
I’m trying to learn Tagalog, and I want to open up long and complicated literature (e.g. Jose Rizal’s “Noli Me Tangere”) and explore for any words I partially recognize (e.g. conjugations and contractions of words I already know) then I can go back to more intermediate lessons (e.g. news articles) and have a better sense of the words and sentences I should reasonably be expected to understand.
And you can’t just can’t not finish the lesson when inspecting those lessons? I don’t see how that could possibly be a dealbreaker.
Have you unchecked “paging moves to known” in the settings ?
On the web app, if you accidentally click on the completion checkmark, you’ll get a warning telling you that all blue words will be moved to known.
On ios or Android, you have a “finish lesson” button. Just don’t click on it.
Every new word either becomes known or becomes a LingQ. This is 100% the essence of LingQ and what makes it unique. Words are not meant to be left hanging.
Tell me more about this extension, please.
read for a bit and then checked my total logged reading on LingQ, recorded as 322 words read. I then put this exact text on a Word document (set to my target language), which indicated that the text included 1,114 words.
LingQ counts unique words, not repeated words. That’s why.
Use a unique word count website instead.
Thanks for mentioning that, I think that can work for me. I had a lesson marked as “complete” yesterday and the warning didn’t show up, so I assumed that was the design.
@SeoulMate: IMHO you get this warning only if you have Roosters tools installed.
I don’t have Rooster installed, but nevertheless I get the warning, which SeoulMate mentioned.
I get the warning most of the time, but had at least 2 occourences were the warning was not displayed despite some blue words left. I wanted to end the lesson, so no harm was done, but it would be good if it would work reliable and for everyone, of course.
Having to compensate for bad softare is a sign of a bug, not a feature.
It’s still messing up word count, one of the main reasons to stay with Lingq.
Lingq is nearly great.
It just added 470 words from the 550 read today, making my Irish word count wrong by 15%. It makes great software stupid and awful in an important aspect. Stop automatic adding of words , which is off, and whatever other stupid function adds them.
How do I undo the damage of incorrectly added words when I will lose 2500 points but am only adding 50 a day? I dont want to spend the day fixing your mistake that isnt even on my main language? Can you stop detracting points on my Irish account each time I fix your error?
This may make me lose the leading Irish streak.
There is now a setting that relates.to.a summary screen, tht alerted me to the problem. The setting does not say it will damage word count in this way.
There is no warning it will do this stupid thing on Chrome which is the only place you get shortcuts as the app is inconplete.
I’m not 100% sure i understand correctly, but if you mean you have to move words that LingQ assigned to known that were not in fact known, I think you can do you activity to extend your streak first, before you remove/reassign those words.
In other words, in the past I could get the 50 coins to extend the streak first, and then later move the words down from known to status 1 or whatever. Then, even if my coins went negative, I didn’t lose my streak if I had already achieved it earlier in the day.
On reassigning the lingqs themselves, perhaps sort by “creation date” on the vocab tab and mass reassign??
I hope that helps. Sorry you have to deal with that.
