Hi,

I am using AnkiMobile in iPad with the Smart Keyboard.

This problem occurs when learning a new card, after answer is shown, key 1 and 2 are assigned correctly (to red - again, green - good respectively), but the key 3 gives the “good” response as same as same key 2 (which in fact it should be blue - easy).

By the way, reviewing learned cards work correctly (with key 1, 2, 3, 4 assigned to red - again, orange - hard, green - good, blue - easy respectively).

Thank you,

---

Have you considered switching to the new scheduler, which has 4 buttons in learning mode? [The Anki 2.1 scheduler - Frequently Asked Questions](https://faqs.ankiweb.net/the-anki-2.1-scheduler.html)

I updated to the new scheduler, and the problem is solved.

Thank you.
