Left feeling very confused and tired after course update...

Just got the new update (yay?) and really felt the urge to vent.

I've gone from mid Section 5 Unit 35 (Schedule Plans) to having auto-completed(?) Section 5 Unit 185 (Weather: Discuss safety in storms) - very confusing.

Went back to review the first part of this new Unit 185 to see if I knew the content since I'd previously had a unit on disasters (S5 U31 iirc) which involved words like typhoon (台風) I thought might be relevant. Nope. There was a focus on edges of things like a table (端 - which; I'm just finding out while writing this; is misspelled in the course?!), getting in touch (連絡) and the word abandon (見捨てます) all of which I haven't seen before. Starting to feel like I've wasted a lot of time on this app...

Not only that; on my Kanji page I've apparently unlocked to Section 5 Unit 37, but only partially - not where I am/was. The previous Units now have different names which don't relate to the new course units; take Unit 35 again: it was "Schedule Plans" now it's "Seasons: Show new students around" and on the Kanji page it's now called "Ask what's in a dish". AND. According to the Kanji page, it only continues with Kanji up to Unit 52 before jumping to Section 6. There are 260 units now in Section 5. Now the app just looks like a buggy mess.

I feel sorry for the people who had this change two months ago as I am currently wallowing in the same BUGGY, confusing mess of a course as I reconsider my 700+ Streak.

There is perhaps a ray of hope though. 3 "Extra Units": Course update: Learn new words. I'm posting this now and will update (or delete idk yet) after I'm done with the Extra units... just... not today.
