If you enjoy using our app, can you please review it here? Unfortunately, due to some strange, low reviews our overall rating is low. But the main issue is just a lack of normal reviews, so your input would be much appreciated.

The text in mobile version is really huge it would be nice if there are different font size to choose. It's also not easy to scroll without touching the text, I was thinking of subscribe if this problem is being sorted out

Hi Joy. We will discuss about the font size. Regarding the scrolling - are you talking about scrolling vertically? The pages are long, and we scroll vertically on either edge of the phone. There is no interference with text this way. At the end of a page, we advance to the next page by touching the rh vertical edge.

In the android play store there is one review by C. G. Kelley and it completely sums up my feelings.

Please fix the android app. I want to use it.

We are going to redesign the app next month. As a workaround for the scrolling issue until then, you can scroll on either vertical edge. The design is to scroll to the bottom, then change pages by selecting the arrow heads. And to turn off a selected word, you can select a word further up on your screen.

This is great to hear. I wish you good look and a successful outcome. I know it's hard work but the behavior of the reader on mobile is crucial for the app.

I will try the workaround as well.

I always compare your site to LingQ. 

I study Mandarin and Cantonese. The ability to a) not have unnatural spaces between the words (there are no spaces in those languages) and b) easily link and unlink words are huge advantages over LingQ. 

However I have similar issues with the app. If you make it so NO downward scrolling is necessary at all, just go to the next 'page' that would make your app better than the competition in my opinion. 

Also, when browsing the library, get rid of all the flush-just show the title. Because currently it includes a picture and unknown/learning/known/total words. Together that means I can see only one item on my screen at a time.

That is our plan. In my defense, if you use the app as it was intended to be used (per the "work-around" above), scrolling/changing pages works fine. We are going to change it though because clearly it's not intuitive.


Regarding your other suggestion, we will try to implement it too. Thanks for your input!

It is usable now. If you mean the new version, we are now shooting for September.
