Thanks for the information about adding protection. I wasn't sure how much use it would be, but if it actually works I guess it's good to add it. I'll definitely look into those links.
I'll definitely experiment some with the pricing as well.
The account permissions are needed since it uses a SyncAdapter to sync the progress data between multiple devices, so if you have both a phone and a tablet you can sync your progress between them. The sync functionality is also used to fetch updates to the word list when I correct some translations etc on the server side. Unfortunately, there's no way to use the Android sync functionality without also setting up an account (as far as I could see), and I didn't want to implement all that by myself.
Ah, I see... well I'd try to remove any permissions you can and explain somewhere in the description that the permissions are for syncing.
Also, buy your app and give it 5 stars, so people can see a rating.
I've been looking for other japanese learning apps in the market, they don't seem to be doing very well. I hope you do well but maybe you won't be able to get paid enough for all the effort you've put making the app.
These are my opinions I could be totally wrong of course.
There is one Japanese learning app that does rather well called Human Japanese. At least it has sold 5000-10000 copies with a current price at $9. It's not spectacular, but for me reaching similar figures would be a success.
