The "Installed" tab shows items (duh!). However, it doesn't show when it was downloaded, nor a version number, etc. Tapping an item shows a more detailed description, but still no installation information. Perhaps at least detailed information could have the download date and version number/creation date?
I'm on a 10.1" tablet (ASUS), so I'd just as soon see it all on the main "installed" screen, but I realize that's a small part of the current user base.
Good point - version number tracking uses a weird internal system that wouldn't be good to make user-visible, but we can certainly show dates at least. We'll eventually be adding automated update checking but we didn't make it a priority for this first release.

CC-CEDICT is getting updated everyday. It's a very useful resource, because it has tons of modern vocabulary and slang. How often are you going to be providing new versions?
About every 1-2 months. Honestly, even though the process is largely automated I'd be hesitant to release updates more often than once a month because of bandwidth concerns - it costs us about $2.50 every time 1000 people download CC-CEDICT, so while that wouldn't be an issue at all for a paid dictionary, for a free one with the number of regular updaters potentially running well into six figures that starts to turn into some serious money. But perhaps we could charge some nominal subscription fee (and I mean really nominal, like $1/year) for access to weekly updates.
