More games & test from cards
Thụy Minh
Make more fun game or test to help me remember words better such as fill in blank, fill a word in the sentence, choose the best description for a picture….

No please, don't make it another overcomplicated childish app. Please just leave the cards and the chatbot.

Improve Gamification
V
Viktor Lesyk
As much as I'd like to regularly use DuoCards (even with the premium month I've got for inviting a friend!), I just don't do it.. and keep using Duolingo. most probably because of the well-done gamification, with the 800+ days of streak, daily quests, friends' quests, and even well-timed and well-worded notifications that keep calling you back.
I understand, this requires a lot of work and efforts from you, guys, and you can say that truly motivated learners don't need all of that. But hey, if DuoCards had at least some of those gamification techniques..
The current one with the mammoth and its home - it certainly has potential, but for me, it just doesn't work at all. I don't understand it. It's too complicated, and since the "streak" does not go away - it does not motivate me to keep it. And with no reminders - there's little to no chance to build a habit.
Again, I won't go into details - you can better talk to some AI about it, but I truly wish you could make an improvement there to actually get a higher engagement and retention rate.
Good luck!
P.S. if you haven't yet, I highly suggest watching the TED talk of the Duolingo founder, where he talks about gamification and reminders, and the whole competition for the user's time and attention.

Hi Viktor, thank you so much for your suggestion and detailed feedback. We have similar post already on Canny with many votes, so I'm merging it into the existing post "More games and tests from cards" to consolidate votes and keep everything organized. Have a great day. Michaela from DuoCards

Если бы не упоминание Дуолинго в контексте, поддержал бы. Мне не помогал Дуолинго в изучении немецкого на русском языке.

Competition with Friends

A feature for daily games that friends can play together. Examples include challenge-style games such as word puzzles from images, Scrabble, and similar games.

Agreed! It would be particularly useful to have the following:
- A feature that makes it possible to study only cards recently incorrectly answered (e.g. from the last 24 hours). I think that being able to really drill into mistakes make for more effective studying.
- A written study mode where instead of swiping cards left/right, the user has to write words/sentences out. I think that it forces more active studying and also would help me learn to write. It could have a "lax" mode where lack of accents is not penalized and a "harsh" mode where they are required.

I don't like this, I wouldn't want it to turn into Duolingo. If anything, I'd make this a setting that can be turned off.

"Test me from known cards" filter - add 3 quick filters (To learn, Known, Learned)
Кот Барбос
I suggest adding the following 3 quick filters within "Test me from known cards" filter: To learn, Known, Learned. Currently if I want to learn any cards out of these 3 categories - I can't do it with one click, I would like to have quick filters to do that. Thank you!

listening and rewriting exercises, letter filling exercises, sentence sorting exercises.

I am using the app, and I enjoyed this app. But I have a small idea. Let's add exercises related to the writing section, e.g. sentence sorting exercises, letter rearranging exercises to complete words, listening exercises and rewriting correct spelling,... in short, exercises related to writing. Since when reviewing each new vocabulary, I realized that I could only hear and remember those vocabulary words, but I did not remember how it was written, it would be good to have more exercises related to rewriting vocabulary!

Hi Oleh, thank you for your post. I am merging your idea into an existing one related to this topic ("More games and test from cards") to consolidate votes and keep things organised.✌️
Also, do you know that when you click on the open book icon on a card, it shows grammar details and different usage types for the given words? Michaela from DuoCards
