a) Kudos on the new android app. I guess I am clean out of excuses to restart study.

b) I really want to be able to read traditional but can't be bothered to write it. The solution proposed by Nick in the thread below still appears to be available but I was wondering if any progress in this direction had been made in the intervening three years.

This list covers the differences between the two: http://www.skritter.com/vocab/list?list=302418553

You can set that list to add everything except writings, or whatever part combinations you want, using the "Change Study Settings" option on the left-hand side of the list's page:

You still can't do per-list style controls (simp/trad), but you can set your main style in your account settings to "Both" and put your other lists into review-only mode, so that when you add words, you're only adding from this list, until you are done adding from it. Then you can set your style to "Simplified and previously added traditional" and resume adding from other lists.

Cheers Nick, that's very very very helpful.
