1. :) For what I'm using this for i.e. learning flashcards, the 4.0 default settings seem to work a lot better, and I'm no longer wondering if I'm learning new words in a sub-optimal way. I still don't understand the methodology for the default settings like what kinds of cards are pulled (I'm just using a "Learning") but I'm just doing it and not questioning it. Even some of the "basic settings" seem advanced to me, like I don't understand what "simple" vs "2-phase" are but I"m using 2-phase. I understand that this is a very hard problem to solve i.e. making the settings intuitive while also giving user a lot of control.
2. :) I like the new stroke tab display a lot more. Makes it much easier to quickly learn strokes for a word with multiple characters
3. :confused: The example sentences are usually too hard for me to understand and incorporate (I'm L3). That might just be data from the dictionary, though.

1) Thanks! We're actually still streamlining this a lot more, including getting rid of the simple / 2-phase thing (which seems to be confusing a lot of people) and merging the SM2 profile with the Learning profile so that you don't have to decide which one of those is more appropriate.

2) Thanks!

3) Yeah, particularly big issue in the free PLC dictionary (which is free for a reason) but a bit better in more learner-oriented ones.
