Possible Download Issue for Hiragana Scholar and Katakana Scholar (Full Versions)


It has come to our attention that some devices can not download the full version of Hiragana Scholar or Katakana Scholar. This is because some tablets and phones have a download cache limit. Even though Google Play allows applications to be up to 50MB (Hiragana Scholar is 47MB) several Samsung devices are limited to under 30MB.

This download cache applies to the following devices:
Samsung Galaxy S1 (30MB Limit)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 (30MB Limit)
Samsung Captivate (30MB Limit)
HTC Desire (40MB Limit)
HTC Desire S (40MB Limit)
HTC Desire HD (40MB Limit)

As Google Play will allow users of these devices to purchase the apps but not download, we have tried to manually exclude them from being viewable by the aforementioned devices. We are currently looking into the different (and better) possible solutions for addressing this. In some cases the download cache limit applies to the Android 2.2 version of the device and may be removed in a more recent update of the Android OS.
