Version 1.7 submitted
1) A 'Skip this Word' button - Quite a few users wanted a way to skip words they already knew so that they can focus on unfamiliar words. Well it's now incorporated during the learning phase. Tap the 'I know it!' and the card vanishes revealing a new card. You can do this repeatedly until you find a word that you're unfamiliar with.
Based on our own experience, this feature dramatically improved Memorize Words as a serious vocabulary training tool.
2) Interactively enable or disable words - Imagine taking a Spanish class. You've covered the first chapter of the textbook and would like to practice your new vocabulary using Memorize Words. Before, you had to go to the Dictionary, search for each word, and then manually add a flashcard to your learning pool.
In version 1.7, you'll be able to go to the Settings, select Enabled Words, and quickly cover only the words you need to know like this...
In case you're wondering, tapping 'I know it!' just disables the word, but you can re-enable it here if you made a mistake.
3) Hangman - As promised we included a hangman game to practice spelling Spanish words.
4) New Icon - We've changed the Memorize Words icon to better reflect what this program is about with the lightbulb as a placeholder for future languages.
Expect this update to show up as a free upgrade in the App Store or iTunes about two weeks from now if Apple approves it.
