Weekly #DevLog /June 20
Happy Friday, everyone! Here’s what we did this week:
On Android:
– Adjusted dark mode for Fluent, sign-in page, several pop-ups, and, most notably, new-style tips;
– Adjusted speech recognition for Japanese, increasing grading accuracy (also, speaking exercises for all languages in general should take less time to load now);
– Tweaked Review – Practice – Words and Review – Practice – Sentences: now you can tap the name of a unit and check the boxes of specific words/sentences you’d like to review;
– Changed Alphabet icons for Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese, since some newcomers didn’t realize that they could learn about the writing system/pronunciation of their TL before starting their first lesson;
– Made it so finishing TestOut also counts in your learning streak;
– Adjusted the order of courses, so that the more popular languages are shown first, and changed French (Normal) and French (Accelerated) to French (Version 1.0) and French (Version 2.0);
– Added explanations for Ranking, Day Streak, Streak Shields, Streak Restore;
– Fixed bugs in SRS, Lesson Summaries, Alphabet, and certain exercise types.
Please upgrade your app to V2.99.335 to see these changes~ (If you don’t see V2.99.335, you might need to wait a bit!)
Still working on:
– App/desktop progress lag (we’re currently using a workaround where we don’t show your XP stats on desktop; at the same time, the lessons you already finished in the app should show up normally, i.e. as completed, on desktop; if this isn’t happening, please let us know!)
In other news, LingoDeer was pronounced App of the Day on App Store when we’re this 🤏 close to changing our entire look for iOS.
As usual, thank you all for your support! If you have any questions/thoughts/suggestions, don’t hesitate to reach out by email at hi@lingodeer.com and support@lingodeer.com, via the Contact Us form in the app, or on our official subreddit 🙂
Happy learning!
