Traverse Reviews

I use this app for language studies, and the concept is nice. The layout is clean and the cards are highly customizable. But Traverse is basically unusable, and the website has its issues too. It basically takes ages to even load one flashcard, Traverse constantly crashes; it feels more like a struggling old web browser inside an app than an app itself. And this reflects the website too, which is not quite as bad to the point of unusable, but also very unstable and slow. Add to that I have about 5,000 flash cards and this app just can’t handle it. It’s also a nightmare just to edit a card. I have no choice but to use it since it’s linked to my curriculum, but I really wish they could improve Traverse .

The bugs will drive you nuts and you won’t be able to reach support. When you do, they will ghost you and never fix anything. Save your time and stick with Anki.

I am also user from mandarin blueprint. Google login requires multiple verifications EVERY time. The checkbox do not ask on this device does not work. It is really frustrating to use

I’ve often wished there were a way to defer a rating for apps that don’t work because I can’t review something I’ve never experienced. As a software engineer myself, I’m sympathetic. However, I need to give this a 1 for now because it literally crashes after flashing the this app logo. I’m a Mandarin Blueprint user and I’m a little surprised that MB would rely on a buggy app (looking at other reviews) for such a critical part of their platform. Anyway, I’m sincerely hoping to be able to revise this review soon to a much better rating.

I am locked out of using the mobile app because I chose google authentication when signing up. I wish I had just chosen a password like the MB course suggested. I am directed to a buggy web app and Traverse never finishes logging me in.

Gonna be honest and not mean here, I’m seriously not understanding why mandarin blueprint would choose Traverse as the basis of practice with apps like anki and the like out there. Traverse is painfully difficult to understand on iOS, and doesn’t look at all like the screens they shows on the MB website courses. It’s unintuitive, and buggy. Sorry my dudes but Traverse is not it.

I just started using Traverse this week. When I logged in yesterday, I received a message that an update is required. When I go to Traverse Store to update, there are no updates available. I can’t cancel this prompt to update. I had to uninstall and reinstall.

even though there are bugs, I used ankimobile and ankiapp this weekend. So far I like this app better because it compliments Mandarin Blueprint quite well compared to the others. I like adding pictures and this app makes it easy to include.

I started to experience issues too. I have not made so many cards yet. Here is what I know: choose lowest res pictures and simple graphics possible. Make sure your internet connection is solid not using mobile data. The last part is by logging in to the web interface there are more options. See if your mass delete can happen there. If all else does not work reach out to their support. I’m not an employee… just an end user like you.

The design is perfect to overcome the forgetting curve. Additionally, it is easy to complete my reviews everyday. However, sometimes the audio won’t work but can easily be fixed by swiping Traverse .
