Posted from GMAT ToolKitalso the text lines in the mainpage of the forums is not properly wrapped to next line. You need to refresh feeds (right-top corner button)... Maybe it would be a good idea automatically refresh feeds, I will think about that. I just checked the main forum page and it seems everything ok. Please, describe what's wrong or just take a screenshot and PM me. If you have any other questions, please, post here or PM me and I will do my best to resolve them. Thanks, Walker

Dear GMAT ToolKit users, A month ago you got a revolutionary update with ability to scan GMAT Club's forum and store SC questions into your local set. To make the feature available as soon as possible we used simple but not the best solution. Although the next update is still in the pipeline, I would like to share with you what improvements you will get in a week or two. First of all, no more "open forum..scroll...open SC thread...scroll...open a thread...", just tap the "Start" button at the SET page and autoscan launches. Moreover, there are a couple of more essential autoscan improvements: ✓ 2-3 times faster ✓ 2-3 times lower web traffic ✓ reduced energy consumption ✓ simultaneous autoscan of SC and CR forums ✓ automatic stop after 5 or 20 minutes or when battery level is less than 30%. ✓ multitasking: you can work with questions in the SET when the app scans GMAT Club's forums. Here is a screenshot of a new SET page:  Thanks for your feedback! Please, feel free to report any suggestions/ideas - they are a key for further app improvements. Best, Walker GMAT Club Mobile Team Attachment:

A few minutes ago Apple approved 1.3.2 update. So, now scanning SC and CR forums is easy and fast. Thanks for your feedback! Best, Walker

Comments
-----------
1. The timer at the top of the questions is great idea. Brilliant.
2. I have downloaded GMAT Toolkit into my iPhone.
This is just amazing way to keep in touch with you study plan/preparation all the time.
I am not able to use my travel time to and fro from work to study using my phone.
The lessons has been designed very nicely and cosmetic effect is very appealing.
Applications ability to scan CR and SC questions and then add to your question bank is great.
Creators of this tool, i bow to you and you get 4/5 from me.
Suggestions for the GMAT Toolkit
---------------------------------
1. Besides SC and CR, can the tool also have the PS, DS scan as well please??
It will be great help.
2. Can we have the options in 'setting' to scan and download a certain difficulty of questions or
after affter download only work on a certain difficulty of questions.
(By Difficulty is mean 600-700 or 700-800 level question)
This will help greatly by targeting your need and gradually progressing to next difficulty level.
3. Can we have option to categorise the Work Set if needed. Categories into PS,DS,CR,SC
NOTE : If any of the features are already there and i am not aware then excuse me and teach me please.
I did not mention RC here as i realise it might be difficult for users to read it on the phone.
Thanks, Hi Chauhan2011, Thanks for feedback, ideas and warm words! 1. PS,DS - The only one reason that prevent me from adding these types of questions is formulas. Unfortunately, it is not clear now what to do with formulas that represented by code like this \frac{a+b}{c+d} and rendered by special LaTeX software on the server side... at the same time saving them as images is too complex... Maybe the best temporary solution to make it possible is transforming LaTeX code to simple expressions, for example, \frac{a+b}{c+d} or \frac{a+b}{c+d} will be (a+b)/(c+d)... What do you think? 2. Great idea! Let me think how we can implement it. 3. It is exactly what we are trying to do now. There are some technical difficulties but I'm sure we will overcome them. Thanks again!

I bought iPod only for this, otherwise I hate what apple stands for. Anyway, I think considering money value proposition, this app is expensive. I have some questions: can we get a "guess" option in the timer tool? Can we get a chat tool? Can we get a sort option in the timer? So that we can sort the answers by time taken and wrong answers.

1. "Guess" option? Hm... I think it's a good idea. 2. We are not ready to add chat now but I will keep that in mind. 3. Let me see what I can do. It seems to be not so difficult. Thanks for feedback! I sent you PM with a few additional questions. By the way, I'm going to submit 1.3.3 update this weekend and hope to add features you suggested. Best, Walker

I noticed one problem in the OG Quant 1 DS section: all the questions are numbered 1. Is it possible to edit the db storing these answers and times? I ask this because before storing my log in this app I was using logging it on my PC. Would it be possible to save the times and the answers by hacking the db manually?
