Good Duolingo Companion - Couple "Quirks" – Tinycards - Fun Flashcards Review

I’m using TinyCards with DuoLingo to get a start on learning Spanish and overall I really like how well the two pair, but there are a couple things I find a nuisance in using TC (with DuoLingo, that is). 1) Some of the pronunciations by the female voice in TC is *very* different than those in DL, which for someone who is learning can be frustrating when you speak to the bots in DL and the voice recognition doesn’t accept your TC pronunciation but will if said the way the word is pronounced in DL. 2) I’ve run across vocabulary words in TC that appear to have incorrect definitions, or at least, DL will mark you as incorrect. Ex: in TC "Different" is ‘distinto’. In DL, you’ll be marked as incorrect, as ‘diferente’ is the word they’re looking for and in DL ‘distinto’ is "distinct" in English (which makes sense). According to iTranslate, distinto can mean different, but DL only accepts one answer, diferente (even though both distinto and diferente are in the same DL lesson). Since these two apps are created by the same dev and marketed as companions, there should be strict cohesion among the translations. 3) Some of the words found in the DL lessons aren’t even included in TC until later lessons or not at all, which makes trying to learn the vocab in TC before tackling a DL lesson irrelevant. 4) This one is more a request than an issue, but it would really be great to be able to move the flash cards around in TinyCards. If I could pair “start" and “finish” right next to each other, their visual proximity would help me remember the Spanish translations quicker. The cards are grouped by theme for the most part in TC, but having the ability to move them around freely would really be helpful. I love using this app with DuoLingo. I feel like it’s really helped me pick up the vocabulary quicker than if I were using DuoLingo alone.
