KTdict will require iOS 5.0 with next version

February 23, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Future versions of KTdict will not support iOS versions <5.0. If not done yet, please take the time and upgrade your device to the newest version of iOS. It is worth it also for many other features Apple added to iOS.

I understand that this leaves users of the original iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPod touch without a possibility to upgrade KTdict (current version will continue to work). But this decision allows to use several new features added with iOS 5.0 and also greatly simplifies testing of KTdict – therefore providing benefit to vast majority of users (~95% of iOS devices are on 5.0 or above).

KTdict 2.0 is out – iPhone 5 support and new Chinese reader

October 13, 2012 · 8 Comments

KTdict 2.0 is out. It supports iPhone 5 natively as well has multiple bug-fixes for iOS 6.0.

But there is also a major new feature: An integrated Chinese reader. This allows you to import Chinese texts (e. g. from a Chinese web-site into KTdict). If you tap on a character, KTdict will immediately look up the word starting from this Character in the dictionary.

I hope this is a powerful tool for many people to learn reading Chinese!

KTdict 1.9 is out!

June 17, 2012 · Leave a Comment

It took longer then anticipated, but KTdict 1.9 is finally out.

This is a major “under-the hood” revision to enable one major new feature: support for iCloud. For people (and I think this are getting more and more) with multiple iOS devices, this allows the automated synchronization of

  • settings
  • search history
  • flashcards (for paid versions)
  • lesson definitions (for paid versions)
  • learning results / statistics

Additional enhancements are:

  • Support for landscape orientation on iPhone/iPod touch
  • Better search in flashcard database, including possibility to search using pinyin
  • Support for retina display on the new iPad

Hope most of you like it. Drop me a mail at ktdict@me.com or leave comments here.
