It is now June 14th.

For 2 months straight we have been told that the fix is “soon” or that it is already “fixed” and the “fix” will be released “soon”…

This is the bulk of the frustration. If we were told that, “hey this is a crazy problem it will take a few months to fix”, it would be really annoying, but it is what it is. However, insted we have been repeatedly lead to believe the fix was a couple of days away for a full 2 months.

Not only this but we have never been told what happened in the first place, and why it is a problem to fix. It seems that this was a change made intentionally to merge hyphenated words, it caused unintended issues and complaints, and they decided to “revert” this change… This doesn’t seem to be a huge 2 month+ project to do… If it is, then this is a much bigger problem for the future of LingQ. That a single update can potentially just disable the platform for months on end.

PS - I don’t think @zoran is to blame here either. I think he has been mislead on this as well, and is just the unwitting messenger in this case.
