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.

iOS - display name of originating section

Do you agree it would be a good idea if the iOS app would display the name of the originating list(s) and section(s) for any given word?

To me this would be very helpful in looking up the lessons that that word came from, so that I can verify it.

This information could be displayed under the i - information button.

agreed! Just like in the web version....

I would also love this feature!

We wouldn't want to include this in the download for performance reasons, but if we made the online Skritter word popup available when you're on the iOS device and you have an internet connection (which has this info and more), would that satisfy? Or does it need to be very fast?

I also would like to see it, it let's me remember the "context" from where this word was coming from. If it comes from an online pop-up window it's better than nothing, however, if it's very slow, it would break the learning flow.

Yeah, I can see how it would not be necessary for all words, so the online popup would definitely suffice.

"if we made the online Skritter word popup available"

Would this also allow us to dig down into the character breakdown? :D
