Comments on my Android App

My first android app (Pomodoro - originally was 'My Pomodoro' but android market search wasn't liking the 'my') has only 4 ratings. One nice person ranked it 5 stars, I am sure they were being nice. Two people ranked it at 3 stars, one of them added some comments and I actually even used some of their comments for future releases.
Today, I got my first one star rating. And here is the comment:

Decepção! Ruim de ordenar. Não deleta tarefas Não tem como marcar tempo das pausas. Sem aviso sonoro. Ruim de ordenar as tarefas. E não consegui deletar as tarefa da lista. Decepção!

My first guess was that this was Spanish, though I dont know why I thought that. I know some Spanish and its not Spanish. My next thought was maybe Italian and then I was pretty sure it was Portugese. Here is the translation I get from Babelfish:


Disillusionment! Bad to command. Not deleta tasks It does not have as to mark time of the pauses. Without sonorous acknowledgment. Bad to command the tasks. E I did not obtain to deletar the task of the list. Disillusionment!
Still hard to understand but it looks like they are unhappy that they can't delete tasks from the main screen. This is true. As my documentation (which I only wrote in English unfortunately for this user) states this but points out that one can delete a task once it is started. I think they are also state that I don't keep track of pauses. That is also true. Anyhow, it was fun to get a comment from someone presumably in Portugal or Brazil. Its a great thing that Google lets a lowly person release an app which can, in theory, be used by anyone in the world. I wish their experience had been better of course. Sadness!
