Description of Manabi Reader

Expand your Japanese vocabulary and comprehension by getting in the habit of reading short, native content daily. Manabi Reader makes it easy to jump into interesting native reading material without having to worry about your level: just one tap on any word you don't know to see its reading and definition. Don't waste time trying to find engaging reading material—a curated selection of news feeds, online magazines, blogs, even folktales are collected here for you. You can of course also open any webpage in Manabi Reader to help you through it. Make a habit out of getting your news in Japanese and you'll find your skills multiply. With even a few minutes each day, reading is essential to picking up Japanese. Memory is one of those things where it sticks best when you're having fun, so dive in! • Read native texts. • One-tap word lookups (with audio!). • Word tracking: you'll see how much of an article's vocabulary is already familiar. New words are highlighted for you. • Kanji tracking: we'll also track the kanji you're familiar with as you read articles. Check your progress within JLPT levels. • One-tap flashcard creation: memorize the words you look up. • Review flashcards from an article once you're done reading it. • Automatic furigana. • BYOC (bring your own content) via URL or copy/paste; or, choose from our curated selection of reading materials. • Reddit category with aggregated Japanese articles and discussions. • 3rd-party dictionary apps are supported. ========================= The core app is fully functional without payment. Word tracking behaviors are limited to a subset as a preview. The companion Manabi flashcard app is limited to 10 flashcard reviews per day. Full word tracking functionality as well as unlimited flashcard reviews in the companion app may be purchased as a subscription. You may purchase a subscription, which will be charged to your iTunes Account upon purchase and will auto-renew within 24 hours prior to the end of the purchasing period. You can manage this in your Account Settings after purchase. Manabi Reader subscriptions are offered on a monthly or annual basis, with free trials—the annual subscriptions offer a discounted rate. This purchase supports the ongoing development of Manabi. We offer a substantial discount for students, educators, and parents.

Reviews of Manabi Reader

  • Absolutely recommend!

    Using Manabi Reader lets me read way more efficiently and I’m seeing a huge improvement in the Japanese I’m picking up, + I’m learning faster than my classmates because of it. It’s free/cheap, easily usable, the cross compatibility between Manabi Reader and Manabi Flashcards/Anki is great, the dev is actively updating it, etc. I like to use it to read NHK’s easy news and make flashcards from new words. Definitely check it out!

    Developer Response

    Thanks! I'm glad to hear it's helping you achieve faster results. Stay tuned for much more. (If you could please contact me with your permission to use this review as a testimonial elsewhere - it's a great story, I appreciate your support.) -A
  • Good App but WAY TOO GLITCHY

    While I love the functionality of the app and would definitely like to support the author, it’s just way to glitchy and buggy. It cannot handle moderate long text without lags and/or glitches.

    Edit: Reduced to 1 star… WAY TOO MANY BUGS. I was planning to only use the dictionary to add card to AnkiMobile… Even that doesn’t work either.. Each time you click the dictionary search bar and the app glitches out and get rid of the cursor…

    Developer Response

    Hi charlieh.no7, I'm sorry for the issues you ran into - please try the new 3.1 update which resolves the instability with a new architectural foundation and improves overall performance. Thank you. If you still have any issues, please update your review here and I'll see :) Thanks very much, hope the latest updates serve you well.
  • Great app, but

    Since the most recent update, it crashes on launch. I can only get the flash card half of this app to open :/ when it did work, I really enjoyed having the option of so many different things to read and having them ranked by difficulty. Very helpful study tool!

    Hi galenkun, sorry for the trouble - please update to 3.0.11 which resolves this. -A
