Managing the Self-Study list

September 11, 2013 at 01:40 AM posted in ChinesePod Mobile AppsI'm running the Android app 3.8.5 (that's the latest as far as I know).
How do I manage what shows up in the Self-Study list? I assumed that bookmarking a lesson would make it show up, but it doesn't seem to do that reliably.

OK, I will try to explain some of the issues I see with the Self-Study list.
It looks like the number of different lessons that will show up in the list is limited. The number seems to be in the range of 12 to 18. I keep finding lessons that are bookmarked, and that used to show up in the list, but then disappear, To make that "victim" show up again, you must un-bookmark and then re-bookmark it (and then refresh) -- then it will appear at the top of the list. However, it seems that then some other poor lesson, although still bookmarked, no longer appears.
Another confusing factor is that sometimes, the same lessons will appear twice in the list.

Since 3.8.8, the Self-Study list has been refreshing very well. It's a big help. There are still some weird things about bookmarked lessons, though. When I can verbalize it I will post here again.

Thanks! Let me know if I can help with use cases or testing.

cowenparkseattle, I'm still trying to fix this, but different on different devices. I will put in a good two weeks of making fixes to the App this coming week.

Logging out and logging back seems to be the key.
Chinese Pod, please tell me-- is there any other way I can refresh the list?
There is no refresh button on the screen.,

Thanks for looking at it.
1. There is no refresh button on the Self-Study screen.
2. The latest lesson which shows up on the list for me is "Wedding Photo Shoot". I have bookmarked many lessons since then.
3. In addition, many lessons which I have unbookmarked continue to show up on Self-Study.
Would it help if I sent you a photo of the screen?

Bookmarking should cause it to show up if you have set your filters in the Self-Study page to include bookmarked lessons. Sometimes, though, you may need to do a "Refresh" (image of a circle of arrows) while online to not be getting the list from cache.

November 05, 2013 at 08:40 PMOK, today I logged out of CP, restarted my phone, opened CP, and logged in. Now my Self-Study list is correct, for the first time in many weeks.
