I am finding KwizIQ very useful. One small problem I have is when using my MS Surface Pro in the weekend writing exercises, the keyboard does not allow the use of accented letters by the normal method of holding down the key and selecting the accented letter - all that does is repeat the letter. If I use the on-screen keyboard, the normal letter works but this is off-puttingly inconvenient as it obscures half the screen. Do you have any thoughts?

Hi Nick - sorry about that. We're aware of the problem on a few devices. We're building a totally new version of these which is much improved and won't suffer this issue. I can't give an exact release date for it yet as we're flat out getting ready for Kwiziq Spanish launch but hopefully it will not be too long after that. Thanks for your patience.
