Thanks for your efforts, great to see LingQ development moving forward. I would like to understand the new contributor rankings. Can you explain how these numbers come about, how they are calculated? I assume it is not (only) related to shared lessons, but also considers the sharing of dictionary definitions?
Hi Mark, thank you fot the update. But, I have downloaded a book + audio book and each lesson would timestamp very well in the beginning. But, for some weeks it hasn’t been working well anymore and the sentence I hear in sentence mode is incorrect. Sadly this update did not fix it… I already informed your customer service about thos several times. Could you let me know if you are working on this? Thank
One needs to refresh the page when this happens. Since reloads are, as you know, rather time consuming on lingq.com. This makes the app not fit for use for me.
(PS, here is a tip: Don’t do Friday deployments ;))

I don’t remember updating the app but I guess it happened automatically. It seems there is now a bug on the Android app. If I select a blue word and then select another word, previously the blue word would be saved as a lingq with the first hint shown being the saved hint and the bubble for the next selected word would be brought up. The last part no longer happens. Instead, I have to select the next word a second time to bring up the bubble.
Great to have improvement to the Android app. I have a quick question. I recently posted a few threads about using LingQ on Android tablets with eInk (Kindle-like) screens. I have such a tablet now and have been using the LingQ Android app on it for about a month. It has been a complete game changer for me. I have never enjoyed reading on LingQ as much as I do now.
It’s clear that the app was not designed with such devices in mind and even though it works fantastically, a few minor tweaks would vastly improve the experience. Is this something you guys have on your radar? I see this as super low-hanging fruit for LingQ and a good opportunity to get ahead of the curve since eInk Andoid devices seem to be becoming more popular.
That just looks like the audio generation spinner. It can take some time for the audio to be converted and generated from the video. Once complete the audio player button should appear. It can sometimes take up to a day to complete depending on the how many other tasks are in the queue. Has the audio loaded for the lessons you reported earlier?
Hi,
I have opinions about the recent change in the writing exchange. I often post my writing for improve my output skill, and this is a very good practice.
Personally, the new screen of writing exchange is a little bit annoying. First, the screen is not fit for my notebook as well as my desktop. When I post my writing, the space is not large enough that I cannot find the button for submits (this can be solved by reducing the size of my all screen in the Google-Chrome).
Second, the space of posts from users is small. I often correct posts from posters writing in Japanese. Compared to previously, I find it a little bit hard to read and correct them.
Finally, corrected writings I get is also hard to read. There are not strike-out lines on the red letters. Words, phrases and sentences with red and green color cannot be differentiated well.
It could depend on each user whether they find the new version better or not, but I think there are something to be improved.
I’m sorry only to complain, but always thanks for LingQ
I wasn’t aware that those devices existed to be honest. It is not on our radar I’m afraid. Unless those devices become widespread we are unlikely to make improvements specific to that interface, but, if the improvements could benefit all interfaces, they would be considered.
