Hello,

I intended to use this blog only to inform about the application updates, but some technical problems are forcing me to write this post to clarify.

A week ago, I received a comment in this blog about an issue in the dictionary of the iPhone application:

“Hi Andre, I purchased your topik one intermediate app from the apple store for my iphone and have enjoyed using it. However as of about two weeks or so ago the inbuilt dictionary function isn’t working. I tried accessing it on wifi and 3g, deleteing it and reinstalling and installing it, and I also tried using it on a different device (ipod), none of which worked. So I think it isn’t my device but maybe it’s because of the most recent update to the software. I hope you can look into this soon because it’s quite annoying.”

For which I replied in the same day:

“Hi, thanks for reporting the problem. I will take a look on it this weekend and then give you a reply here. Sorry that I can’t check it right now. Thanks, Andre”

To prove I did reply in the same day, here is a snapshot of the comments manger of Blogger:

Well, I didn’t remove this comment, neither disabled the comments on the blog. But for my surprise, the Blogger just stopped showing the comments.This leaded to a misunderstanding from the customer who wrote that comment.

So the problem really exists, and I fixed it today.

But, if you updated your device to the new iOS 7… you will realize that the application entirely stopped working. As described in this other comment:

“I tried to download the basic free version to test this after having updated to iOS 7, and all of the tests were gibberish; no questions appeared, only seemingly-random characters. I am scheduled to take the TOPIK on October 21st. I’d like to buy and use the advanced level app to practice before then, but I obviously cannot while this issue persists.”

Right… I was also surprised about this issue when I updated to iOS7. So I spent the whole 추석 holiday solving it.

To finalize:

• I uploaded the new iPhone version to iTunes. It will take about 1 week until Apple reviews it.
• The new version solved the problems with the dictionary and iOS7.
• Comments in this blog are not displayed. Not that I want it, I guess it is some problem with Google and its Blogger.
• Sorry for the long time to fix up everything.
• Happy 추석!
