I would really like a deck with each place for each gismu, like
smart.fm had; that made a real difference to my learning.
I would also like Anki decks with the sound files included. �You can
find the files at
http://lojban.org/~rlpowell/smartfm_valsi_files.zip ; that has all
the gismu, all the lo+SE+gismu, and all the cmavo, but none of the
cmavo compounds. �The vast majority of them are espeak, but some of
the gismu and "lo" and all the SE are by Lindar. �If the Anki cmavo
deck has compounds, make a list and post it here; whoever did the
espeak is around somewhere.

A lot of us enjoyed the multiple choice experience more, however;
it's much less subjective. �I often find myself agonizing over which
"how well did you remember this?" button to push, which slows
everything down and makes it annoying and a bit frustrating.
If it simply had "did you get this right?", and picked how long to
wait to quiz me again based on how long I took to answer, that would
be much better, for example.

Yeah, the app is shit and very slow, no question.
