Apple has made this so much easier than when we did this the last time, oh 6 or 7 years ago now.  I am now able to use Testflight to distribute beta builds to anyone who would like to beta test the app.  All I need is an email address for you to have the Testflight invite sent out to you.  Once you accept the invite, you will be able to download and install all future beta builds through the Testflight app on your device.  I am targeting iOS 9 as the minimum version required to run the app.  As long as your device is running iOS 9 or later you should be good to go.  I'm also only targeting iPhones for right now.  It may run on an iPad, but its not designed for it. 

I pushed a build up to Testflight (v2.0.0-6).  Its a completely rewrite of the old app.  It has a basic UI at the moment.  The Dictionary section hasn't been built yet.  Just finished doing a lot of the other stuff to get the basic wrapper UI in place and functional. 

Send me a PM or an email with your email address, and I'll start getting everyone added who wants access to the beta builds in Testflight.

I added you to the list.  It looks like Apple wants to do a beta app review before anything can become available to the external group for users to test.  I think its a one time only thing, but not really sure.  The current build I put up was likely going to fail that review step as that build was incomplete.  I'll try to get a new build up sometime once I get a basic version of the dictionary functional.

Ugh, I've gotten busy and completely distracted from the project.  Wish I had better news to give than that. Between iOS and the EE replacement, I am not quite sure which should be a higher priority to get working.

I just spent the evening working on the iOS app.  Its getting closer to being ready for sure now.  Still have some pretty big items missing still, like being able to pull down dictionary updates over the internet and search / filtering of the dictionary data.  I just pushed out a new build to the Beta Tester group. 

I also just created a link for letting people sign up to beta test: https://betas.to/Zpep3q1a . Feel free to share that link on the Facebook page / Twitter feed if you'd like.

Downloaded the latest test version.

Is it intended that jakesully really be in the dictionary and that it is then listed under ì?

The sorting and colour in the main entries are great. Once you select a word it switches to papyrus font. The one thing I never liked about that font for using it to write Na'vi is that you barely see the difference between i and ì.

Just my observation :)

With the new release, I noticed that when I type something in the search field I can't see what I wrote (the font could be black and not be visible against the black background) but it still finds the entry ...

Can you post some screenshots?

Sure.  :D Here you go.
I taped into the search field and typed "lupra". No letters are visible in the search field but the result is there ;)

My bad ... I hadn't updated my iOS yet. Now with 11.2.2 everything seems fine. :-[

I have noticed that longer entries lose their IPA in the detailed view ...

perhaps each data field should be on its own line?

Sounds like a good idea!
