Flashcards completely and utterly broken!

Postby kotatsu » June 4th, 2011 8:10 am

Hi guys I use My Word Bank flashcards a lot, or at least I used to, until they completely broke. I use the flashcards at japanesepod101.com/reference/flashcards , and always on iOS (iPhone 4). Trouble is, they've been unreliable lately and have often been broken for days at a time. This happened when you rolled out the new style flashcards. They're currently broken now on my iPhone (and I've tried clearing cache/history/cookies), but bizarrely they do work on my iPad, as well as on my PC in Chrome and Firefox.

I've also tried the new flash cards but have zero idea how to make them work. I click 'add all words to my flashcards' in My Word Bank, but then it takes me to the flashcards beta screen and it's added nothing at all. If I click 'make a new deck' it just gives me a what looks to be a random list of words which I have to add one at a time?!! This is all on PC, on iOS the whole area is almost completely broken.

So please guys can I just have the old my word bank flashcards back and working? They were fine, the only improvement could have been to stop using flash for the audio (HTML 5 please) and automatically reformat the pages to look better on a small screen device. I thought Peter was a big Apple fan so it's disappointing the site is actually getting less compatible with iOS, not more.
