I really like to you your app to study Chinese. I like to turn the slideshow on, then quiz myself by reading the Pinyin (side 2) or English (side 3), then writing the Chinese character for it. Thsi however isn't practical, since it also show the answer. I think that a strength of this app is the spaced repitition and Leitner modes. But, when you use the slideshow mode, you lose those features.
So, what I am asking then is for a feature. A test mode. The app would display only one side of each card (and play a sound if there is one), wait a moment, then move on. While the card is on-screen you could physically write your answer on a seperate sheet of paper. (I know there is a screen input mode, but I feel that it just doesn't "feel right" for writing.) At the end of the set, the app could give you a list of the cards you were quized on. A list is important because you can quickly check your written answers against the ones on-screen. Then you could gesture a swipe on each word to mark it correct/incorrect or have a check box. Finally, the app will grade you and move on to another set, just like in Leitner mode.
I don't know if that is a lot to ask, but I think that it would really make a great feature.
Thanks!
