What happened to Learners tab

One of the great features of this app is the Learners tab to show how to use the word in modern relevant usage. What happened to it? It’s been gone for a while now. Frankly, the “examples” tab isn’t helpful. It finds the most hard to decipher obscure examples on the web that doesn’t help someone who’s unfamiliar with a word to learn its meaning within a typical context. Simple examples like the ones provided in the Learners tab is helpful. Thanks
