Hi. I bought and really like your Learn Chinese app. I have the 1.2 version, and it really helps me with the stroke order, as I´m trying to learn to write chinese characters. The pinyin search is surprisingly fast. However, I do much search in the english search field and there the UI is very unresponsive. When I enter a letter it takes a few seconds before I even get the letter confirmation callout at the point where I press. It can take a lot of time for me to recover from a typo because I type words blindly with no feedback from the keyboard.
Do you have any plans to improve performance in this area of the app? Perhaps running the search in a different thread? Or waiting to search until the user press the search button. Automagic search is wonderful, but not if it comes at the cost of bogging down the text input, in my opinion.

I run the app on my 8GB iPod Touch.
