It adds quite a lot, particularly around revision:




(Above) you can look at every entry in any level you unlock.



(Above) you can look at all the entries for what you've seen today, or only questions that you got wrong.


(Above) the new revision select page.

The iPhone update has been submitted and should be available in a week.

Also, note that it's version 1.31, not 1.3.  I uploaded version 1.3, then noticed a bug, then quickly updated it again to 1.31 (on the same day I found the bug).

Update on fixing bugs and improving the game:

-Due to iOS 7's release, I have been unable to fix a major bug in the iPhone version, which is that people's scores and achievements disappear within several hours of their last game. This is a core problem so I hope I can fix it soon.

-The Android version (up to 1.2) is quite good now. I changed the number of questions to 5, and also made some achievements easier to get. I've also changed the style of the quiz - basically, you will quickly get to see every question in the quiz, rather than it being randomly selected.

The Android version still has a few bugs on some Android phones. These include:

-Not being able to install on some Android phones.
-Giving an incorrect warning about intrusiveness on some Android phones.
-Text going over the limit on some phones.

Going forward, we plan to:

-Increase functionality and add new features.
-Maybe read out the sentences so people can hear them.
-Publish to Windows, Mac OS desktop, and HTML5.
-Tidy up the game so it runs a bit more smoothly.
