How to Use the Review Center: Understanding the Today, Custom, and Weaknesses Tabs in One Go
The most fragile link when learning English is often reviewing. Vocabulary is memorized in one lesson, sentence patterns are practiced in another, and wrong quiz answers are scattered elsewhere—when you want to review, just figuring out "where to start" gets you stuck, so you end up leaving it alone. Over time, the things you've learned are forgotten piece by piece.
The root of the problem is that there is no centralized place for reviews. Each item lies in its original corner, and you have to remember to look for it and judge for yourself which ones are about to be forgotten. Leaving this to the human brain is too exhausting and makes it too easy to miss things.
One-Stop Centralization, Three Types of Review Based on Your Needs
Loopy's approach is to gather everything you need to review into a single entrance—the Review Center. You don't have to search around anymore; just open one page and you can see it all.
And reviewing itself actually involves three different needs: sometimes you just want to clear "what needs to be reviewed today," sometimes you want to practice more on a specific topic yourself, and sometimes you want to focus on your weakest areas. Therefore, the Review Center is divided into three tabs, each handling one scenario.
How to Use It in Loopy: The Three Tabs
Today's Review
The first tab is Today's Review, which lists the items that are due today according to the memory curve. Next to each item, a memory health status will be marked, categorized by three colors:
- Strong—Memorized very well, you can just quickly go over it.
- Needs Review—Beginning to slip, touching on it today can bring it back.
- Fading—If you don't review it soon, you will forget it; prioritize this first.
When to use it: During your regular daily review sessions. Opening it and clearing items from "Fading" to "Strong" is the most efficient review path for the day. This is the main daily routine for most people.
Custom Review
The second tab is Custom Review, which lets you decide what to practice this time. You can choose specific lessons, select item types, and narrow down the difficulty range to assemble a personalized practice session.
When to use it: When you want to practice more beyond today's list, or when you have a clear goal. For example, if you have an assessment on a certain lesson next week, you can pull that lesson out individually; or if you just want to focus on practicing a certain difficulty range. It puts the control back in your hands.
Weakness Focus
The third tab is Weakness Focus. Based on your quiz performance, the system will identify your weakest points and gather them together for you to reinforce.
When to use it: When you find yourself always making mistakes on a certain type of question, or when you want to patch up gaps before an exam. Compared to reviewing everything equally, focusing your energy on your weakest areas usually yields the most noticeable improvement.
Summary
Three tabs correspond to three mindsets: Today's Review handles the daily routine review, Custom Review lets you choose based on your goals, and Weakness Focus helps you patch up the gaps that need it most. It's okay if you can't remember all of this—most of the time, just starting with Today's Review is the way to go, and you can top it off with the other two tabs if you have extra energy.
Reviewing never has to rely on pure willpower. Let the Review Center help you remember "what to review today"—you just need to open it and start.
