As many people here may know, I have an app for Android called {boQwI'} which has a lexicon lookup and grammatical analysis tool for Klingon. Due to interest in the Klingon language because of Star Trek: Discovery, and also courses taught by Lieven and André where the app has been mentioned, I've recently received a lot of feedback from beginners on how the app could be more useful.
It occurred to me that most people don't give feedback, and those who do may not be representative. So I'm soliciting feedback: if you're a beginner or intermediate student of Klingon, what would you want in an app? I'll be releasing a new version around Nov. 16 (during the Saarbrücken qepHom), and your input will help me prioritise what to add/fix in the next couple of weeks.
Also, I'm still looking for a volunteer to port the app to iOS, which is by far the most frequent request. It looks like a big project to port the whole app, but for a first version, it would be sufficient just to treat the database as a simple dictionary and do a verbatim search (i.e., no identifying parts of speech, prefixes, suffixes, etc.) For an experienced iOS dev, I'd think this would take a few days at most.
Please reply offlist, unless you're replying in Klingon.
