Hello Skritter Team! Congratulations on getting the app approved and through to the iTunes Store! I know you've been working very hard and have finally been able to achieve one of the most important steps of the journey.

Unfortunately, I don't want to be -that- guy...

I use Skritter for Japanese, and it came to my surprise that the Chinese app had gone through! I was just as surprised to find that the Japanese app had also ceased to work... telling me to update to be able to sync my data.

Needless to say, with Skrittering on my iPhone and iPad the only thing I have to do on my train rides, and with the JLPT only seventeen days away, I'm devastated. I thought it was wonderful that the Chinese app is working, but I didn't know that meant that the Japanese app support that was being had would stop for the Japanese side.
Is there a reason for that? Especially since I don't think that the Japanese app could be used to abuse the Chinese version... is it an App Store condition that the support had to stop?

Aside from my whining (the app is amazing, as you know, so I'm understandably upset as a giraffe would be), I'm wondering that when you said the Japanese version is coming soon, and reading somewhere something along the lines of "when the hubbub dies down from the Chinese App release", how soon is this?

Sorry for sounding like I'm whining (very loudly), but I know you wouldn't have done it without good reason. Thanks for your time, and thanks for listening!

Also noted—I realize that you didn't have to do anything like let us try the app at all while it was in beta, and for that I'm extremely grateful. It was an unbelievable help for me because it was a completely different way to study that didn't leave me feeling tied down.

Without it, I feel like I'm tied down again, and that's great for you guys—I know anyone who tried the app wants it that much more! I love the app and can't be more grateful.

In that sense, I have to apologize for venting in such an ungrateful manner.

Giraffe, you're getting at it through the Dropbox, right? I'm putting the Japanese 1.0.0 build back in there--someone moved it out, or else I somehow forgot to put it in before. Builds 1.0.0+ and up should work.

We still need to get a Japanese demo together, make a few other Japanese-specific changes, and then do some marketing for the Japanese app. Not sure yet how soon we will launch that one.

Thank you so much Nick! You guys really are the best. Again, thanks so much, and I'm really looking forward to the app once it hits the store! I hope I can keep Skrittering for you guys for a long time. :)
