Should build some app for android and enhance high frequency word training
That's a great idea with flashcards, but brouser refreshes the page each time I try to look a word in some other page, so all my progress disappears. Also it would be great to learn words with exact frequency only. For example, button for repeat only 7500 high freq words. Other words would be trained by guessing from the context.
I would definetly pay for the service that simply remembers previous state and have smart SRS.
Your progress in the flashcards should be remembered if you are logged in. Readlang uses a SRS to schedule words – you’ll see a summary of when they are next scheduled after completing a flashcard session.
Readlang prioritizes the most frequent words of those that you have translated based on a word frequency list of the top 50,000 words (assuming your learning language is not in beta mode).
If you want to browse when in the middle of a flashcard session, I recommend simply opening another tab.
Hope this helps. If I misunderstood your question please let me know.

Hi, Steve! Thanks you heartily for response!
I presume that you're interested in my humble opinion and therefore I will try express some interesting ideas in more reasonable way.
First of all, Readlang use on desktop and laptop is pretty comfortable, so you've done a really great work.Even though when I switch to mobile devices there are some complications. And that is why my issues were mainly about mobile browser use (chrome&android).
By the way, I acknowledge that my progress is remembered and I sertanly use switching between tabs in mobile browser (chrome&android). Also I can see the schedule below graph on the main "Flashcards" tab, thats great.
I am not such an expert, but these are some obstacles for me when using mobile device:
1. You need to reopen (goto main readlang page and back) your text to sync your current position (page in a text) between mobile<>desktop. For example you moved further on your desktop but you couldn't saw your progress on mobile device untill you reopen the text.
2. When you practise flashcards sometimes dictionary tabs needed to be open to understand and edit the current meaning of the word (besides internal readlang dictionary). Unfortunately when you open this additional tab to check word meanig your current flashcard disappears and you were throwing off to the main Flashcard page.
And besides mobile use, if I understand correctly, Readlang prioritize the most frequent words in your SRS list. That's great, because, as you may know, according to some researches, the reasonable amount of words for SRS-learning is about first 6000 words in a freq list only (check this great video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X7XTui58Qs).
Let's imagine that somebody wants to stick with only 4000 common high frequency words and some 400 words from academic word list.
What if Readlang would show flashcards from this 2 word lists only?
Or at least you may include some more precise freq filtering in a Word List than you've got for now.
In my opinion frequency is quiet important in SRS and you may take the advantage of enhancing this feature.
