I haven’t been in the loop recently, as you are making improvements faster than I can keep up with. I downloaded the latest version the other day, and it’s much more usable than it has been in recent months, so I applaud you all for that.

I only have a couple things I want to mention at the moment. I am speaking of the Android version. First thing is, it advances to the next prompt if I hit a grading button, even when I have auto-advance turned off. Also, on the iOS version, it’s easy to navigate between prompts, but on the Android version, those arrows are much smaller and harder to hit properly, so navigating between prompts is a pain on the Android version.

Here’s a thread discussing these topics, if you want to hop in!

This Android version doesn’t work without data/wifi connectivity :frowning:

Don’t worry, that’s coming soon. We’re currently working on that!
