Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Server errors?

Is it just me or are other people having trouble using the Skritter iphone app right now? I'm trying to study a lot lately so I'm really missing skritter right now!

Sorry about this! In the middle of improving the example sentence selection, there's been a problem with an old data format. I'm converting all the sentences to a new data format now, and it should be done in about an hour.

I may have a workaround before then, but if not, you can check back in about an hour or two and it should sync then. Thanks for your patience.

The good news is that many, many bugs with the sentences have been fixed, and I've made (and am continuing to make) more improvements to the way sentence corrections work, so it'll be easier to fix up bad sentences over time.

Ok, thanks for the update. I'll check back later.

Give it a shot now--is it working again?

Yup, works great. Thanks, back to Skrittering ;)
