I am just starting out with this app/site and the only thing i see lacking is the ability to import passages via one click.
I'll discuss this with the tech team.

So far, I'm enjoying using the app. Super convenient.


One feature that I think is missing is a "night theme" both for the app and the site.

It isn't working with my new Boox Air 2 android device which would have been great for e-ink reading.

On my old tab3, it is portrait and so doesn't work with my keyboard and I can't go left and right an press k for known like on my desktop.

Green is too dark to be seen on the web version so i can't use "learning" at all.

X doesn't make a word ignored.

Arrow keys don't move to the next word.

I can't play a sentence with audio. I don't see a TTS option (004 Greek language passage).

Highlighting a word blocks the page buttons on the bottom on a small screen (good that it doesn't on a big screen).


Please add shortcuts for navigation based on a modifier key (shift etc.) and another key. 


Positives: I can play a youtube video.


I'd want to import books. Is this possible?


The things above are what I'd like to allow me to read 1000s of words a day and a million a year. This would hep in the comprehensible input approach to learning. Please support that approach - it works. 

I don't know the other changes you made but the ones above are the ones I'd like most please.


This could be a fabulous app and attract many people; get behind the comprehensible input approach.

Ok, I added this to your other list, and we will discuss them.

Is this a shortcut suggestion?

Arrow keys on the phone? They change page.

Works for me. TTS is under the 3 dots (reading preferences).

We tried the pop-up definition in several locations, and everyone preferred this one. Just touch a blank area to clear it.

Yes. Convert them to text first, and make them private (if they are not public domain). The app will break them up into multiple passages if there is too much text.

This is a late reply, but I have to say that the arrow for more information for a word is inconveniently small and away from the natural position of the thumb.

I'll bring this up, but no guarantee it will be changed.

No worries, saw the opportunity to engage and thought to give what I know works well for me :)
