Thank you to everyone who has downloaded grid player and provided feedback.
We have updated Grid Player to match the look and feel of iOS7
A lot of you were finding the Slide to Close function hard to operate especially after updating to IOS7. We have replaced this with a close button at the top of every grid. If you want to prevent the user from accessing this button you can use the Guided Access options (new in Accessibility Section of iOS7 settings app) or you can turn off Closeable Grids in Grid Player section of Settings App.
Some users also found Shake to Undo was clearing the sentence before it was spoken so we fixed this bug.
Grid Player can now talk in Danish in addition to all the other languages we already support Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (UK), English (US), French, German, Greek, Italian, Norweigan, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish.
