This update apparently brought some changes to the word review system that I want to comment on. These are all relatively minor, but they’ve made it more physically annoying to review cards.
Previously, I would review flashcards, holding the phone in one hand and using only my thumb on my right hand. These changes have made it require both hands, so I can’t comfortably do them in bed.
-
When reviewing a flashcard, the level selector is now in the middle of the screen, directly underneath the word, as opposed to where it was before, at the bottom. This means that if I realize that I want to change the level of a word (if I have no idea what a word is on the second time through I frequently shift it down 1-2 levels) I have to use my other hand.
-
At the end, the display takes up far more lines than before, so that I can’t see all the words on one screen, but have to scroll/hunt.
-
I can’t just hit “new session” to move to the next one, because it will include words that I literally just studied; I have to hit “close” and then “new session”.
With regards to 1), what would have made it nicer and more usable is to slightly increase the font all-around.
