Bug Fixes

  • On iPad, selected section of settings will now stay highlighted while that section is open.
  • Fixed an issue where scrolling a clipping being displayed via "contained in clipping" on a dictionary entry displayed in a popover over a flashcard on iPad would cause the popover to be dismissed.
  • Fixed an issue where you could not have a flashcard with only a note on the back.
  • Fixed an issue where after changing languages, no senses were showing up on flashcards that had had their backside modified.
  • Fixed an issue where the wrong word meaning was being displayed in dictionary search results when a search matched multiple meanings.
  • Fixed an issue where when restoring from a backup, the current photo files would not be deleted from the device, wasting disk space.
  • Fixed an issue where kanji stroke order drawings sometimes had the wrong stroke thickness on iPad.
  • Fixed an issue where certain multibyte kanji characters, such as 𠮟, would appear garbled in certain parts of the app.
  • Fixed pronunciation of 数分 and 交通.
  • When viewing the clipping tutorial with romaji enabled, the screenshot explaining to tap on a word to view its definition did not actually contain the popover with the definition.
