I've been using the Palm program Twinkle for RTK1, and I've found that it works great. It has been stable, is portable, and does a nice job of spacing my repetitions. Now that I'm approaching the last few hundred kanji in RTK1, I've started experimenting with Twinkle databases using Japanese sentences, which have required more editing on the PC (or Mac, in my case), and Twinkle doesn't seem so stable. My sentence database became corrupted after I deleted several rows in Twinkedit, and now the database won't open in Twinkedit. I posted a bug on the project web site.
After a flurry of activity late last year, the Twinkle project site seems to have become a ghost town. I don't want to build a huge database only to lose it to a file corruption, and not have a developer and/or user community to help out. (Granted, frequent backups would mitigate this risk this somewhat!)
- Has anyone else had similar problems with the stability of Twinkle?
- laxxy, you posted a similar bug on the Twinkle forum a few months ago. Was the problem ever resolved?
- Anki looks promising, but, like Twinkle, appears to be somewhat unstable at the moment.
