v2.0 Released

Post date: Nov 28, 2011 3:22:26 AM

Release date: 2011/11/27

Tablet support and UI redesign. The app is now using an action bar for easier access to key functionality. On tablets the app takes advantage of the bigger screen to display more information where applicable, most notably it shows search results and kanji details in a single screen (screenshot below). Font sizes and layout have also been optimized for best viewing on tablet screens.

Users of the premium version can now download the stroke order database for complete offline access. Free version users can also use the stroke order feature, but Internet access is required to get stroke order data.

Version 2.0 now requires Android 2.1. Users of 1.6 and 2.0 can still get v1.7.2 from the Android Market, but no new features are planned for that version.

Other changes:

    • Reduced startup time
    • Ability to add quiz characters to favorites
    • Better error handling/reporting
    • Various optimizations and bug fixes
    • v2.0 now requires Android 2.1 and later
