It seems to me that when your adding from a new list that the number of words left to add or the percentage you've completed is not 100% accurate as it only seems to analyze section by section. Is there anyway this can be improved so I have a wholistic view of how much I have completed when starting a new list?

The completeness percentage for a list is based on where it's currently at adding from, and doesn't tally words that have been learned from other lists beyond that adding point. The number of words left to study in the list are the number of words past the current adding point, including words already counted as learned. I agree it would be nice to instead see how much of the list is complete entirely, and not base this off the adding position, and to also tally how many words are left to learn, not including already learned items. This is something that we will tinker with in the future!

Yes that would be amazing thank you, if when you add the list it could analyze the entire thing then work out how much you have left to learn! I think it would make some lists seem a lot less scary haha
