Thanks for reporting this. The behavior depends on how you start the review:
- Tapping on a verse opens it in a preview mode that always shows all information (reference, topic, tags, image). This is by design — it's meant for quickly looking up a verse.
- Tapping the review button at the bottom starts a review session where hints are gradually revealed based on your settings. With "Learning by Topic" turned on and "Learn with Reference" turned off, you'll see only the topic on the front of the flashcard.
If you'd like to start the review from a specific verse, tap on its badge (the small square on the left) to select it, then tap the review button.
The documentation has been updated to make this clearer.
