FAQ

  • Q. ‘READ OUT’ button does not work
    A. ‘READ OUT’ uses Android’s built-in ‘Text-to-Speech’ feature. Please make sure your device has this feature. If it’s available and the button still doesn’t work, make sure the language you select is available on your device. You may need to download it on Android’s setting screen although the app tries to download the language if it’s not available. Also check your device’s volume setting.

  • Q. I can not download flashcards
    A. Please make sure your device is online and the setting for ‘Send Feedback’ is on in the app settings.(See help for more details about ‘Send Feedback’.) The other possibility is it may be caused by network and/or server issue. In this case, please try again later.

  • Q. I can not import/export flashcards
    A. This may be also caused by network/server issue. In that case, please try again later. In addition, if you are trying to export/import huge size of flashcards, please reduce the size of the flashcards.

  • Q. I see more than 2 same name flashcard when I export the flashcard on Google Drive and see it in my browser.
    A. This is probably a cache issue. Reloading the page should solve the issue.

  • Q. I want to share my flashcards with my friends
    A. This is currently not possible in our app. However you can share the file from Google Drive.

  • Q. All flashcards are gone when I change my device.
    A. Currently only the settings in the app will be transferred. For flashcards, please export them in your old device and export them in the new one.

  • Q. I see similar meanings for a word in Japanese flashcards I downloaded
    A. For some flashcards, we just use a public domain dictionary to create the word/meaning pairs, so they look like word/meaning pairs in a dictionary. For the others, We put both transitive and intransitive meanings in separate lines.

Known Issues

  • Flip animation is weird in Android 6.0(Marshmallow). We are working on it.
