Start a plan and the active limit

Tap Start on a Not started plan to make it Active. There is a limit on active plans. Completed or cancelled plans move to History.

A plan you make with AI goes to Not started first. After you tap Start, it becomes Active and links to Today’s step on Home and to Learn.

Where it is

Space → Plans, tabs Active / Not started / Overdue / History. You can also open it from Today’s step on Home. Learn does not make or start plans.

Steps

  1. Open Not started, open the plan, and check the steps and difficulty. You can edit or cancel it here.
  2. Tap Start. The plan moves to Active.
  3. Practise each day from Today’s step or Learn:
    • Exam prep and Single skills: practise under Learn → Today.
    • Scenario practice and Other: tap Practice under Learn → Practice tasks.
  4. When every step is done, tap Complete plan. If the goal is already met, you can choose Goal met · complete early; remaining steps are marked skipped.
  5. Completed and cancelled plans move to History. At the end of a stage, take another speaking level check and make the next plan.

There is a limit on active plans

One account can have only a limited number of Active plans at the same time (3 by default). Past that, tapping Start shows:

This account can have at most N plans in progress (now M). Finish or cancel one before starting a not-started plan.

Complete or cancel an active plan first, then go back to Not started and tap Start.
