Would you not expect a 7 message and 7 day schedule to be spread out by one message per day? Rather, the chapters are split up.
Ditto for 5 messages a week, for 5 days; 2 messages a week, for 2 days, etc.

This feature has been requested for more than a year 🙃

Is there a public code repo i can submit a PR to? I have some time and I'd love this feature

Wow! 24 voters here

Molly Ruthe I suspect the messages have that Friday and even Thursday truncated are very short messages? This is a known issue (see this thread) and will be fixed in a future release. Thanks!

Not dividing msg across all the days

Molly Ruthe

I chose one message per week, reading Sunday -Friday. For the first few weeks everything was fine but then it started removing Friday as a reading day. After several weeks of that, it now has removed Thursday as a reading day.

The app on my iPad doesn’t correspond with the app on my iPhone, why no? I would like to use either one for my daily reading.

August Brandon: syncing across devices is not currently available in the current release though this is planned for the future. Please see this thread for details: https://500lifestudies.canny.io/questions/p/syncing-across-devices

I suppose I could just read the LS somewhere else and mark my progress here… It would be nice to get 7 complete life studies for 7 days, rather than partial portions.

Reading portion not as indicated

I’ve selected 1 message/day. However, I’ve been given a short portion of a message, followed by “you’ve finished your scheduled reading for the day!” This happens 4-5X in one message in beta v6.

VW: Thanks for sharing this. We are unable to replicate the issue on Android. Could you please take a screen shot of your "Schedule Summary" which can be found by clicking on the 3 dots on the top right of the schedule card? Thanks!

DC:

VW: your schedule summary suggests that it is actually 1 msg per week instead of 7 msg per week as you showed on the previous screens. This would give rise to the 1 msg being divided over the week. Could you try to remake the schedule and make sure to select 7 messages under custom? If you did and it still changed it back to 1 msg a week then we have to debug it. Thank you!

DC: hi, so sorry for the trouble.. I remade the schedule and made sure I selected 7 messages/week. Better. But a day’s portion is still less than a message.

VW: No worries. This is because of the current algorithm as explained below in this thread and also in the green tip box on the screen where you select how many messages to read per week. We will address this in a future version. Thanks!
