Apparently they've already been incorporating it and it's very inaccurate. I've decided to stop using them and have switched to LingoDeer and MemRise. Really pleased with how much better they are.

Why not Anki? Ankidroid works well and there are many great community decks for all kinds of languages (and other topics too BTW).

I'm not great with ONLY flashcards so I personally feed my brain a variety. Anki is great from what I've heard

I started out with memrise, as it was very accessible and I wanted to start learning Japanese. It was fun but it's also very limiting. A mixture of Smouldering Durtles, Human Japanese and Ankidroid really accelerated things. And then the ginormous post-covid upswing in my industry came, with less colleagues than before and my brain got fried. Still trying to recover from that with therapy and whatnot. Yeah, I lost a lot of progress that way.

Any who, that was specific to learning Japanese. Wishing you success with your endeavors! Learning other languages is a huge Eye-opener for understanding other cultures better.

I've tried AnkiDroid but couldn't really figure out how to use it. I downloaded the Spanish 5000 one which seems cool tho.
