# Select Difficulty Before Submit — Take Your Time to Choose

Ever clicked a difficulty button too quickly during a review? We've all been there. That's why Mem-App now introduces **Select Difficulty Before Submit** — an optional setting that gives you more control over your review flow.

## 🌟 What's New

When you enable this feature in your device settings, the review flow changes:

1. **First click**: Select your difficulty (Easy, Good, Hard, or Forgot)

   - The selected button highlights with a checkmark
   - Other buttons dim slightly to show they're not selected
   - You can change your mind by clicking a different button

2. **Second click**: Confirm by clicking the same button again
   - Your choice is submitted
   - The word advances to the next one

This two-step process gives you a moment to think before committing to your answer — perfect for those times when you need to pause and reflect on how well you really remembered a word.

## 💡 Why It Matters

This feature is all about **user control and flexibility**:

- **Prevent accidental clicks** — No more submitting the wrong difficulty by mistake
- **Take your time** — Select first, think, then confirm when ready
- **Change your mind** — Switch between options before submitting
- **Device-specific** — Enable it on devices where you want more deliberate reviews, keep it off on others

Since this is a device-level setting, it won't sync across your devices. You can have it enabled on your phone for careful reviews, but keep the instant-submit flow on your laptop for speed.

## 🚀 How to Try It

1. Go to **Settings** in Mem-App
2. Scroll to **Device Settings**
3. Toggle on **"Select difficulty before submit"**
4. Click **Submit** to save
5. Start a review session and try the new flow!

To go back to the original one-click submit, just toggle the setting off.

## Try it yourself

Starter is free to start: up to 50 words, and no ads.
