隐藏单词

首先卡片下方的单词能不能默认设置是关闭的,等到用户点开卡片的时候再显示单词。直接显示缺少思考的时间,没有办法让单词在脑子里过一遍。 还有就是复习时读出单词非常非常难把握时机,希望有更明确的ui提示 不知道能不能开发一个AI小人和偶尔用户进行小对话的一个聊天框 每两天或三天弹出一个小气泡,点击就可以听它分享自己的生活 用户可以选择是否把这个词加入自己的词汇库,感觉就像朋友和自己分享一个有趣的物品一样 因为我觉得我不会把这个软件当作一个主力的学习软件,它效率对我来说不是很高而且抽象词语学习不了是个很大的痛点。但作为学习间歇的玩具这个定位,我是非常愿意进行付费的。

HAVE TO PAY

Does not tell you that you have to pay for it. It says it’s free in the App Store then when u get to the app you have to pay 5.99 a month to use😒😒

Two snaps, then the hard sell.

Two. That’s how many words you’re allowed to try before the app locks down to demand credit card info before a trial period can begin - and one of those words is “soft-serve ice cream”. With my remaining word I took a picture of a smartphone, and the Japanese word it offered was “sumatofon” which isn’t incorrect but it’s the much less commonly used version, with “sumaho” being the much more common. This, after asking me if I was interested in learning everyday vocabulary, and with only a single effort to go on not to mention the buggy “sticker effect” which seems to need excellent lighting and objects to be posed against a clean backdrop, cratered my desire to sign up for an automatically renewing “free trial”. To wit, the app launches with a (micro) free trial already - the cynic in me sees an effort to hide the bugs behind the signup, hoping just enough subscribers will forget to unsubscribe once they’ve discovered them.

Misleading

Shows Vietnamese flag in the app images but doesn’t support Vietnamese

Response from developer

Sorry for the confusion; we'll check the Vietnamese flag shown in our app images against the languages actually available in the app.

Requesting the ability to export and import stickers

I use this APP both on my iPhone and my daughter's iPad. but the two devices we have logged in two different Apple accounts. While on my daughter's iPad, it is her children's account. Is it possible to export the stickers from my iPhone, then import to my daughter's iPad?

Response from developer

Thanks for the suggestion. Exporting and importing stickers between devices using different Apple IDs would be very useful for families, and we’ll record this and carefully evaluate a more flexible way to transfer learning content.
