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:

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.

Anyone else having app crashing problems?

This morning, my Japanese Skritter app began crashing during sync. This is an issue I had a few months ago that I thought had been fixed, but apparently that was just a temporary solution. I've already put in a assistance ticket, but I am wondering if anyone is having this issues.

Ok, it seems to be working fine now. Were there perhaps some server-side issues today?

Hmm; that's strange. If it already got to the "Saving" step, then the problem should be on the client, unaffected by the server. But without a client update, it's magically fixed. Perhaps a baller swooped in and edited a bogus sentence or something like this.

The next version of the iOS app is more robust to crashes like this, so when iOS 7 drops later this month, hopefully this kind of problem will no longer happen.

"Perhaps a baller swooped in and edited a bogus sentence or something like this"

THis is not very likely because in Japanese Skritter I exclusively study private lists that I make myself. I did notice that this problem started after I added another section to a list, but as you said, it fixed itself magically later in the day. I am actually more troubled by a crash with an unknown rather than an known cause.
