Simple, but needs some improvements – Learn Mandarin Chinese 5,000 Words - FlashCards & Games Review

I appreciate the simplicity of the app, which makes studying very quick. But there are some quirks which almost defeat its purpose as a flash card app. - the biggest problem is that when you mark a card you got wrong, it just repeats that card until you mark it as "remembered." normally flashcard apps tuck that card away and bring it up later, because obviously I'm going to remember what it was since I literally just saw it. - that wouldn't be that much of a problem, but the cards don't seem to repeat in any meaningful way. I see cards I know very well and cards I have difficulty with at the same frequency. I can't tell if this app is remembering what I'm having trouble with. - the graph at the end, which shows you how many you marked "remembered," "forgot," etc. is not very accurate. I've definitely done a run where I marked all cards as "remembered" and the graph at the end showed some as "don't know" or "forgot." is it actually recording how well I know the cards? is it tailoring the flash cards to my weaknesses, or are the cards it shows me pre-set? who knows - the definitions are limited to one line, no word wrap. so if the definition is too long it gets cut off. one of the cards' definitions was "measure word for..." which is not very useful. I'll still use the app because it is super quick to flip through cards, so I can review words in like 5 minutes. But definitely using this as a supplement for Skritter and Brainscape (which both cost money.)
