Getting a hand wrong puts it in your study queue. Getting it right three times in a row takes it out. That loop is the app.
The two cards
The Analytics tab shows Hands in queue and Hands learned side by side. Tapping either opens the full list.
Hands in queue are, in the app’s words, “hands that you need to practice more to master. As you consistently answer these correctly in daily study session, they will move to the ‘Hands Learned’ category.” The list shows four columns: HAND, ACTION, STREAK and NEXT REVIEW IN, with the wait shown as “Today”, “1 day” or a number of days. Hands due now sort to the top.
Hands learned are, again in the app’s words, hands “you got wrong before, but have since mastered by answering them correctly 3 times in a row. We’ll still review them occasionally using a spaced repetition algorithm to keep your skills sharp, without overdoing it.”
If either list is empty you see “No hands to study at the moment” or “No mastered hands at the moment”.
The streak column
Each queued hand carries a streak count with three boxes next to it. Three filled boxes is the threshold: at three correct answers in a row the hand moves across to learned. Getting it wrong resets the count.
Changing the schedule yourself
The algorithm sets the next review date, but you can override it. On the feedback screen after a hand, the “this was hard” option asks “How soon do you want to see this hand again?” and offers three choices:
- Review today
- Review in 3 days
- Review in 7 days
Use it when you were right but unsure. A lucky guess that the scheduler treats as knowledge is the one way this system quietly goes wrong, and this is the control that fixes it.
