What's up with the abomination of the new UI statistic?

Here are two issues that AFAIK remain unfixed:

  • One is a UI/UX issue: iOS: How many coins do I have?
    In short: neither the browser nor the app display how many “coins” I currently have. The only information I have is all the coins I ever earned, and how many coins I earned during a particular period of time - nowhere does it show me how many coins I have remaining after spending some on saving my streak. Thus I cannot know for sure whether I can save a streak or not, until I actually try it.

  • And the other is a technical issue:Recurring bug is back: overcounting Words Read - #5 by fabbol
    In short: the browser overcounts words read by multiples, resulting in unusable statistics and way too many coins. As far as I can tell, the problem is a combination of two issues: 1) the browser counts a word as read as soon as it is displayed on the screen, and 2) the browser re-counts words on the screen at a certain, seemingly unpredictable interval. Together, these two mean that the very same word is counted as “read” multiple times if it is displayed for long enough - in my experience, at my reading speed, a double-column page is counted at least twice or three times before I manage to finish reading the page.
