Dear Pleco, I love the app and use it all the time, currently studying for HSK5 using SRS to study all HSK1-5 vocabulary. I have studied all but 5 of the approx 2500 HSK1-5 words at least once. There are 5 cards that never show up in any test session. I found them by Search Cards #reviewed = 0, and these are the 5:
虽然 。。。但是
因为。。。所以
不但。。。而且
只有。。。才
百分之。。。
All 5 have an ellipsis <...> in the text, and I don't recall if any other flashcard that has come up for review has an ellipsis in the definition. Maybe the ellipsis character is confusing the flashcard selection algorithm? I have Limit new cards on, by maximum unlearned, Count 50, prioritize by approx oldest. Now that I've seen all but these 5 and it's been several days with less than 50 cards to review, they should be in the mix.
Another thing I've noticed - not related to the above - is that during a test session the total number of cards in the session drops. I will start a test and it will indicate top left that I'm on card 1/32 (first of 32 cards selected for this test session). Later I look and I'm on card 3 of 31, and then 10 of 30 (random reductions - not always at 3, 10, etc.) It also sometimes prematurely ends, e.g. having answered the 3rd to last card 28/30, instead of giving me card# 29 it pops up the end of test dialog.
I'm using Pleco for IOS Version 3.2.39 on an iPhone5C
Thanks for a great app and for any insight you can provide on these minor quirks.
