Just wanted to say thanks for the update. The app is noticeably faster and more responsive. :)

Yeah, this is great. Dead speedy on my iPhone 4.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the update? The app store shows an 'update', but when I go there it says the update is to version 1.0.2 . I can download it all I want and go back to refresh and it will still have the notifier for an update!

蓓蕾，I also have this problem... guess it takes some time until the update is available in all itunes stores?

Same here. I am in china but my store is the swedish. Will try a proxy to US to see if that helps.

My iPhone and iPad both have this problem on the Canadian App Store. I haven't seen this happen before, although the London 2012 Official App is showing an update from early August on both devices, which I already installed, so maybe it is the App storre's problem....

Vogue中国 stuffed up for me on the weekend, repeatedly asking me to install an update from last year. The App Store might have some problems.

when i hit the "update app" button nothing happened.
BUT
when i hit the "update all apps" buttons on the iphone it slowly starts to upload now. seems to take a while thouh.

so remember: dont hit the app itself for update, just go back one step and press "update all".
good luck!

learninglife, yeah, it does "update" with this trick, however the "updated" version still is 1.0.2 instead of 1.0.4

so i guess it's a glitch in the app store and it takes some patience until the guys at apple fixed it...

Yes, I can only find 1.0.2 in the App Store in Germany.

it took nearly half a day to download and then its still the 1.0.2 version!
correct, nepomuk!

Same here (HK using US store).

Yeah, 1.0.4 seems to have vanished in Australia too. My iPad keeps offering 1.0.2 as the update. 1.0.4 was definitely there a few hours ago because it's on my iPhone.

I have the Aussie store and all I have is 1.0.2 on offer

well i think we shouldnt be too concerned. th 1.0.2 is doing the job just fine.

I'm just excited at the prospect of Skritter feeling fast on my iPhone 4...

i already have a pretty good speed on my iphone here in beijing. i still need time to think ...

Maybe apple released prematurely? The app store now lists the latest version as v1.0.2. My downloaded Skritter version lists itself as "v1.0.4 2012-09-02". At least we definitely have something to look forward to :)

This is weird. The app updated was approved yesterday and sent to the store; I checked it and saw 1.0.4 and resolved to announce it shortly. Then I checked again and it's been showing 1.0.2.

Let's give it some time and see what happens.

Seems to be downloadable again. Just updated my iPad to 1.0.4 from Taiwain.

Here in Canada too- although the iPhone App Store's 'Updates' screen showed 1.0.4, and the clicking on Skritter from that page still showed 1.0.2!

Remember to re-review if you want your rating to count.

Half an hour ago the app store had 1.0.4. Now it's back to 1.0.2

1.0.4 just came down for me.

1.0.4 is back! Maybe someone at apple is monitoring this thread and having some fun with us :)

1.04 now available. i am just downloading it in beijing.

Anybody else feel like they're getting quizzed on way more tones than before with 1.04? Maybe is just my imagination.

what i realized is that the syncing is so much faster. wow!

Downloaded on my iPad though wonder why the update is as big as the original app!
Not much of an issue though!

This is the way the app store works, it re-downloads the same amount when updating as it would for a user who hadn't ever installed it. There is no way of applying an incremental 'patch' or 'update'.

Just downloaded the update as well. Noticable jump up in speed. Thanks!

snowcreature99: today the app added 188 word tones for me. [I'm on manual add only and didn't hit the add button.] They were from many words that I added over the last few weeks, but the tones only got added in 1.0.4.

Of the 1860 items I have studied overall so far today, 1589 were character or word tone prompts. I'm not complaining by any means. I felt like the previous version of the app wasn't properly balanced between the various parts of study.

After the update, all I am able to practice are "draw the tone". Any suggestions for fixing this, or will we have to wait for another update? In the meantime, I'm going to reinstall V1.0.2.

There were some issues with making sure all the data was downloaded and all the items were studied, particularly for people studying traditional Chinese, which both of you, Dependable Skeleton and 高君睿, are studying, so that's why you're seeing a huge backlog of items coming.

@高君睿: You probably shouldn't revert to the old version, otherwise you'll never get to learn all those tones the app should have given you before, unless you use the site. Sorry it's unbalanced right now, but that's to make up for it being unbalanced before. On the site, you might try using "Save Me" to push all those tones back and spread them out over a period of time, so you don't have to get through them all at once.

Many thanks Scott! Save Me did the trick. I should really check out more options on the website.
