I posted the first part of this last night but it doesn't seem to show up for some reason, apologies for the repeat but I've added some.

First suggestion : add previous/next buttons around the Download/Play link at the top of Dialogue Sentence pages in self-study mode. Reason being that swiping with the thumb while holding the phone with one hand is sometimes tricky (needs a perfectly horizontal gesture).

Second suggestion : add an option to automatically download the current sentence / vocabulary entry upon loading the page. This would avoid repeatedly clicking on Download - no big deal, just helps concentrating on the lesson rather than the user interface.

These are based on daily use over the past few weeks, which I really enjoy, although sometimes I wished font-size was a wee bit larger.

Last point : I tried posting in this group from my iPhone, it was a real nightmare to get the cursor into this text box.
