Thanks for the App John. I, and I’m sure many others, appreciate it. Great work. I cannot believe that Apple is reviewing all dictionary entries. The whole App review process needs an overhaul. Just by way of an update, the ChinesePod App now does occupy a spot on my Home screen. Can do without Skype now that I’m back in the UK.

With regards the crashes, all iPhone Apps seem to cash at some point, even those developed by Apple. The best solution I’ve found seems to be giving the phone a reboot every now and again (memory problem?). Not sure if that will help with the debugging.

Thanks for the review, Bill! Your feedback is really appreciated. You’re absolutely right that SRS needs to be integrated, and of course, no good app should ever crash.

Joe is right… one of the holdups (only one in a long list) is that every single bad word had to be removed from the dictionary before it could be approved.

Haha could be the most likely explanation. Must have been a frustrating wait for the programmers.

I bet they had to go through and translate all the Chinese because you wouldn’t want a bad word to slip in… ;0
