The reason the "forgot" button is incorrectly named "again"

Making them use the buttons correctly and not using Hard if they didn’t remember it. In any case, as I said, having two buttons would just get rid of the terminology problem, so if we agree on that I don’t think we need to delve into this.

You are underestimating yourself. You’re on this forum and you’re figuring out how Anki works. That’s more than most people are willing/able to do.

I agree, but that is precisely because using Anki is not easy, not because they shouldn’t or because the app doesn’t want these kinds of users, I believe.

No, I’m teaching adults, language teaching. My students are migrants between 18 and 65 years old and from very different countries, mother-tongues, backgrounds, tech knowledge, cultures of learning, level of education, etc. Many of them enjoy using Quizlet or Duolingo, etc., but they are missing on SRS, and many of them really could use it. That’s why I try and tell them to use it. However, I cannot use class time to explain how to use it. I have prepared some video tutorials, decks, etc., and I am available for them after class if they need. But for most, even getting to install the decks and understanding they need so self-grade is daunting.

Having plenty of options and being able to customize the way Anki works is fantastic. but I do think the basic experience could be made more accessible, because I see how people get quickly discouraged all the time.

Probably when most of the Reviewer port is finished, which I’m the responsible, so some months. The idea wasn’t properly discussed and isn’t a priority.

I personally like it, but it would be nice if we made it an Ecosystem feature.

When features get implemented first in AnkiDroid and later in Anki, sometimes they aren’t equivalent, which generates a lot of stress if we keep AnkiDroid’s behavior (“why is this different???”) or when we update to Anki’s behavior (“why you changed that???”)

Yeah, I agree that it would be better if icons were introduced on all platforms simultaneously.

Can we disable these icons? I think they would be distracting. I like the minimalism with dots. These icons lack them IMO. I would really like to have an option to disable them.
