Akebi Feedback #337

the backup don't seem to be working used a few times press upload and reset all my grids

Welp, that's odd. Could you try checking the folder "AkebiBackup" on the root of your device? If you've used the backup feature, there should be some files in there. If not, something has gone terribly wrong and I'm really really sorry but there's not much anybody can do. I've been busy working on improving these sort of issues in the new version that should be released very soon.

Hey ! Well i have a problem but i guess some people already Fedback. Or maybe i am missing something but when i search some words nothing shows up.

That's very strange. It could be because its still loading. Try waiting until the "Now loading" icon disappears when you first open Akebi, and then try entering the search text.

I think you could use the Romanjii Translation in all examples and Kanji so people learning can learn to speak as well as read the Japanese.

A few people have requested this. It's something I'll need to look into. I've written the newest version of Akebi with this feature in the back of my mind, so I've left space for it to be added easily. I'll look into it in future!

when I try to export lists, some say export ok, others do nothing , but it doesn't show where the list was exported to, or anything else. then I look on the sd card but all there is , is akebi backup folder, which has lists, sets, and kanji files, however neither will open. it says 'cannot find app to open this file' which I weird, and I can't even tell what kind of file. but as far as the exported lists, they are not on the sd card. also you have to do one at a time, it would be so much better to do all the lists together, right. if it would even save to the sd card in the first place.

You should find the exported files on the root of the SD card. Take a look there if at all possible! A multi-export feature is a good idea, I'll keep it in mind, thanks!

Wish to see list display options

  1. no kana under kanji
  2. no English definitions shown when list displays

especially good option: use above for I KNOW IT items in the list!!


please offer flashcard quizzes for my own Grid Sets. thanks a grid set of mine cuts across my lists other option: allow quiz for more than 1 list at a time == more than one "active" list.


please save text cards with my feedback on them!! == View Feedback feature.

It's a bit tough to understand some of what you've written, but I think you want:

  • Additonal 2 display modes for flashcard quizzes
    • No kana visible, just kanji
    • No translations visible for known words (?)
  • Quizzes on many lists
  • Recording down what feedback you've sent via the "Send Feedback" button on the main menu.

These are all great ideas. I'll take them into consideration for the future. Thanks!

First of all, thank you so much for creating such wonderful learning app. This is the best Japanese learning app I have used till date. Within a few days of using this app, I have learnt many new words with the examples explained. Kudos to your awesome work ! query : I have created a list of new words recently which has disappeared suddenly saying "the list has been corrupted".. would you please check it ... Thanks Gokrishn
(Received on 2015-11-21 11:36:42)

Hi Gokrishn,

I'm really sorry to hear that your list was corrupted. It seems to be a strange issue that's effecting quite a few people. I hope that I can fully investigate this after I have released the coming update.

Matt.

You can try adding new features like grammar! it could be a good way to improve your ap
(Received on 2015-11-20 20:13:57)

Thanks for the idea. I've thought about adding in grammar descriptions before, but there's a lot of work involved in that! Perhaps I can make a Wiki for it.

Akebi Feedback #329

Hey it's me again (by the way thanks for the fast feedback reply last time!), I don't know if this was already reported by someone else, but I have encountered a little bug with the Kanji Grid feature. After activating the option “Allow committed Kanji to lose XP over time“ the progress of Kanjis is lost completely when starting a new test session. Since I set only 5XP to lose per day and there were Kanjis with 100 XP, this doesn't make any sense for me. Furthermore, this bug can be recreated only after completely restarting the app. So, when the bug appeared, I can load an backup (where the XP progress of the Kanji is saved correctly) and afterwards I am able to start as many test sessions as I want without XP progress being reset. The bug is also disappearing when I deactivate the mentioned option in the settings. I am using Android 4.4 on a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini if this is of any interest. By the way: Yes, I am really looking forward to multiple language support, so both thumbs up for that, but the app and your work on it is awesome either way. Greetings, Mia K.

Hi again Mia! Yes, its probably deleting all your progress because it thinks that a very long time has passed. For now, probably just ignore it until the new version comes out and I can start to fix these issues. I should be releasing a beta version of Akebi 3 fairly soonish (1-2 weeks), so stay tuned!! Thanks for reporting this!

Hi, I really appreciate your application. Especially the Kanji grid with very well done writing recognition. But I would really welcome if the logic of repeating characters to write would be smarter. .. Right now a caracter that is not commited yet will appear every second time (even when there are more uncommited characters). This helps short term memory but makes it more difficult for long term memory which is more important. I would also welcome if the order of appearing kanji to practice was randomized after I went through my whole list. .. Now I sometimes know which chatacter is going to be next. Thank you.

Sure thing, they sound like good ideas! Hopefully I can make them happen, but you'll have to give me a little while!
