最新版本3.3.7更新日誌

Last updated on 2024年03月27日

歷史版本

• When scrolling words upwards the new word will now always stop at the middle of the screen, just before the pinyin appears and the word is spoken. No need to "catch" it with your thumb before it reveals the answers!

• Also adjusted the autospeak 'trigger zones' - now you can easily hear the word spoken repeatedly by scrolling it down a bit and back up without lifting your thumb off the screen.

• Modified the word/lap counter label

• Internal fixes
