Dear LingQ Team,
I would like to make a proposal for improving the “Streak” function.
I have noticed that I get a lot of coins when I click on new words. However, if I actually want to memorize the words by repeating them, I get significantly fewer coins. The app therefore currently incentivizes me to look at lots of new words but not to learn them. In order to make faster progress when learning new words, the awarding of coins should be more balanced. Clicking on new words should pay out fewer coins. At the same time, the first 4 repetitions of a new word should pay out more coins. Words that have been repeated more than 4 times can continue to earn fewer coins.
I would be very happy if you could add the option to switch the streak to “incentivize repetition of new words” in the settings.
You don’t receive points for clicking on words. You get coins when changing a word’s status. For example, if you select a word and make it known, you will receive the maximum amount of coins for that word. You will get the same amount of coins total if you gradually move a word through statuses 1-4.
Coins earned also depend on words value.
