Ipod/iphone app wishlist

Hi Cpod/John B,

I know development is still going on for the iphone/pod app, so I thought I'd just put up a quick wishlist from my point of view as a user that pretty much exclusively learns from the app. They're in no particularly order, I'm kind of just brain dumping in a thread because I keep meaning to but never getting round to it.

1) Deleting downloaded lessons - can't currently do it. Not sure what happens to the downloaded content when you mark it as studied? Does it free up that space?

2) Accessing the community via the app. Would be great  to be able to access a lesson's comments via the app, and even more importantly:

3) Accessing the lessons via the app - huge on my wishlist would be to be able to do my exercises straight in the app. So much more convenient than having to find a computer (or sneak time at work!)

4) SRS in the flashcards - Flashcards without SRS are a little redundant these days. I have hundreds of flashcards, but never really get through them. SRS learning would make them actually useful. There are plenty of open-source engines that could be used?

5) Accessing the lesson list / mark as studied / bookmark - Would be so great if we could really access the entire chinesepod library, even on a keyword search basis from the app. As it is I'm stuck with maybe 10-20 lessons (because every time the app refreshes, I lose a little of the "show more" buffer I've loaded, and the lessons I've still not marked as studied).

6) Longer lesson listings/filter by type - I shudder to think what would happen on a long journey if I really wanted to get down to some study.

7) Multiple download selects - The whole "tap to download" for individual lessons gets really tiring if (like me), you download not just the lesson, but the dialogue and the audio review for each lesson, and you're setting 5-10 lessons to download so you can be set for studying for a whole week. 

8) Indicator for lessons with downloaded content - bolded, or shaded to show that you've downloaded this lesson and can listen to it would really help.

9) Inline play controls - If you've set a lesson to play, to have to skip to the controls to press "stop" when you want to pause it is a bit annoying. Is there any reason the play controls couldn't show on the lesson you're playing?

10) Play multiple lessons - Multiple select means the ability to play multiple lessons, which would be great for people like me who listen in the car on the way to and from work. It's not so safe for me to be selecting new lessons while on the move, and this would help me.

11) Offline Sync - If you could do things offline (for ipod users or those out of signal etc) - e.g. mark as studied, do exercises etc, then sync what you've done to the online site when you're next back in signal range. That would be amazing.

Ok, that's enough for now. I find the Cpod app so useful, these things would hopefully make it even more so for me! I do think you get the most use out of it if you're on an iphone so can download on the move - maybe this year if the phone upgrade god is nice to me, I might get there, but in the mean time, it's ipod for me :p
