I LOVE your product, and use Mentalcase for Mac and iOS
RELIGIOUSLY.<br>
AMAZING.</p>
<p>BUT!</p>
<p>1) It would REALLY help me (and many others, I am sure) if the
ability to create multi-faceted notes and take those amazing
multiple choice quizzes on my iPhone or iPad.</p>
<p>2) It would be great if I could get some sort of report on ALL
my right/wrong answers over time, instead of JUST by clicking that
little graph icon during slideshow mode.</p>
<p>3) The disappearing HUD and the "invisible buttons" on your
iPhone app (during slideshow mode) is REALLY annoying... While
there might be some people who dig it, is there a way you could
snake an option in there somewhere to turn that off?</p>
<p>4) It would be really great too if it was not so difficult to
edit notes in that "list notes" view mode. Sometimes when i double
click to edit, it opens the note in the note editor view, and other
times, it gives me an editable text-box. If it was more like a
spreadsheet editor with sortable columns and stuff too...
KILLER!</p>
<p>Otherwise, I love everything about this app! Keep up the amazing
work, and THANK YOU!</p></div>christag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/263260132013-04-11T02:18:23Z2013-04-11T02:18:23ZiOS Feature Suggestion - Facets & Multiple choice quizzes<div><p>Hi There,</p>
<p>Thanks for getting in touch with us! I've submitted these as
feature request for you. Please bear in mind that while we consider

<p>We love feedback! Let us know if you have any other suggestions
or questions.</p>
<p>Thank you for choosing The Mental Faculty!</p>

<p>We are in the last stages of developing a whole new version of
Mental Case, with similar features to the Mac app. Unfortunately,
cloud sync is working against us, and the app is seriously delayed.
It is coming, but I can't put a date on it, or exactly what form it
will take (eg it may not initially have any syncing if we can't
sort it out in a timely fashion).</p>
<p>To answer your points:</p>
<p>1) Multi-faceted note creation and multiple choice are in
there.<br>
2) We have stats for slideshows on iOS. I take on board your
request for all time stats. (A round about way to get it would be
to launch a slideshow for all of your notes, and immediately go to
the stats and not finish. Obviously not ideal, but if it is really
important for some reason...)<br>
3) The new app has a different approach to navigating slideshows.
More swiping. The HUD is gone and is replaced by a help overlay
accessible through a menu.<br>
4) Thanks for the feedback on editing.</p>
<p>We are beta testing the new iOS now, though it could still be a
while before it is released. If you want to try it out, and give
feedback, let me know.</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>

what you just said there… sounds AMAZING!<br>
I am thrilled! Looking really forward to seeing what you guys are
setting up!</p>
<p>Lemme know - ANYTHING I can do…</p>
<p>Our whole team uses MentalCase, and there are quite a few other
people coming up through the ranks here pretty soon… We are
NGO workers here in Papua New Guinea, and LOVE mental case. We use
it to help us learn indigenous languages… When we finish
language learning, we develop orthography and literacy programs in
partnership with the indigenous people here. MentalCase saves us
from losing our data (which we typically would put on real paper
flashcards) to the rampant mold and roaches here in the tropics -
and it saves us some serious planning and organization time!
WIN!</p>
<p>Thanks a ton for your hard work and amazing product.</p></div>christag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/263260132013-04-11T10:37:38Z2013-04-11T10:37:38ZiOS Feature Suggestion - Facets & Multiple choice quizzes<div><p>Hi Chris,<br>
Sounds like you do really interesting work, and a very unique use
of Mental Case.<br>
I come originally from Melbourne, so I know a bit about PNG, but
not too much.<br>
I'll add you to our beta. You won't be able to download it until
our next update though. In the meantime, you will need to register
the device you want to test.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Drew</p></div>drewmccormacktag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/263260132013-04-11T20:26:20Z2013-04-11T20:26:20ZiOS Feature Suggestion - Facets & Multiple choice quizzes<div><p>SO Rad. Thanks so much.<br>
Pretty sure I did everything right… followed the hockey.app
link, and saw an "INSTALL" button for mental case. tapped it, and
it proceeded to install the app.</p>
<p>That right? Now I have 2 mental case apps on my phone.</p>
<p>Now, are you all after a certain kind of feedback? Anything?
What is the best way to do that?</p>
<p>Thanks again… Hope I am not bothering you. Nice to 'meet'
you anyways… Australia is gorgeous! Stopped in Brisbane and
Cairns on the way out here… I am from California
originally.</p>
<p>Anyways, I appreciate this!</p></div>christag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/263260132013-04-11T20:40:57Z2013-04-11T20:40:57ZiOS Feature Suggestion - Facets & Multiple choice quizzes<div><p>Hi Chris,<br>
Yes, you can send feedback directly using the hockeyapp web
page.<br>
The app still needs quite a bit of graphical work, so better to
restrict feedback to functionality for now.<br>

all these other features added to the IOS app now and get the cloud
synching later. Synching to the cloud is a small thing to me, more
like icing on the cake, compared to getting the improved scheduling
algorithm fully translated to the IOS devise (ie, success for each
reversible facet graded and scheduled independently) and ability to
mix reversible and non-reversable cards within the same case. These
two things, especially the scheduling, effect ease of learning.
Being able to sync to the cloud isn't going to improve how I learn,
so small potatoes to me.</p></div>zeppotag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/263260132013-04-16T06:17:18Z2013-04-16T06:17:18ZiOS Feature Suggestion - Facets & Multiple choice quizzes<div><p>Thanks for the feedback. Yes, this is an option we are
