Thanks!
Option to automatically add the sentence a new word is saved from as an example sentence in the flashcard (would REALLY help me remember the context and usage), and/or to scan a reader file for all occurrences of the word and select which sentences to add as examples (or maybe even more conveniently, auto-add from files for a whole batch/folder of cards)
We've added something like that, actually - it's a bit rough but basically it'll create a flashcard for the sentence if one doesn't already exist and then link to that from the word flashcard. We're leaning heavily into sentences-as-flashcards rather than as bits of text embedded in flashcards because if they're their own discrete entities they can be brought up in other places like the sentences tab / cloze tests / etc.
I'm a little more reluctant to invest time in your second idea, because at that point I kind of feel like you're better off drawing from a database of dedicated examples rather than extracting them from a text file where they may be uninteresting or ambiguous or not a good demonstration of the word, and in any case don't come with pinyin or translations like other examples do. But will keep it in mind if we can figure out a way to make it work well. (maybe if Apple adds an offline language translation API in iOS 17...)
Ability to see most common looked up words in the reader! This feature is SO useful in Readibu and pretty much the only reason I still have both apps instead of just Pleco. Filters would be useful too, like showing most looked up words, but filtering out words that are already flashcards above a certain score, or showing only non-card words.
All of that's coming, yes; the current very limited history system is a relic of the Palm/WM/early-iOS days where storage space was a significant concern and we had to be wary of having somebody end up with 100,000 history lookup records.
More stats!! I love being able to visually/quantitatively see and track my progress. Particularly, graphs of time spent reading/reviewing flashcards daily/weekly/monthly/total, cards learnt over time, streaks of days read/cards studied in a row, maybe settable goals even, and maybe notifications to read/review flashcards
Most of this is coming but I remain stubbornly opposed to the idea of reminder notifications for the moment; however, we might consider adding an API at some point to let you check for whether there are flashcards due via a Shortcut (or Android-equivalent-of-Shortcut) which can then deal with that via a notification or whatever else you like.
In spaced repetition flashcard learning, ability to (secondarily) sort words in the test by oldest to newest, or highest to lowest score (so I could begin test with the cards I'm most familiar with and slowly work my way down; I feel less frustrated when I miss a word, knowing the words are slowly getting harder, so every correct card is sort of a "win," whereas with the random sorting I actually get discouraged more easily)
Definitely coming, would have even been possible in the old app if we'd had enough interest to add an option for it.
An easier way to browse through and review my flashcards in Organize Cards, where one tap or swipe takes me to the full dictionary page rather than needing to long press and tap. I prefer reviewing/learning new flashcards in Organize Cards over the Review test option bc it fits far more words on the screen, and I can scroll through them and navigate between them far faster.
Yeah, for this one we've actually gone back to a variation on our pre-3.0 Card Info Screen with multiple tabs except that now one of those tabs is a dictionary definition screen. (and of course it saves your last tab)
A way to report/fix wrong pronunciation in cards (the tones written are correct, but the audio is wrong)
Is this with recorded audio or TTS? iOS or Android? Can you give me an example of a word where this is happening?
Ability to rename a text file made in the reader clipboard
That one is actually possible already, just tap on (i) next to the file in File Manager and you can change its name to whatever you like.
