This app is a wonderful because it has reading material for any level, you can save words as you go to study with the flash card feature later, and there is a speed-adjustable audio to read along with. All of these features are free (there is a paid version so somehow it gets even better) love love love this app :)
im very excited to use this app as i see the good reviews, but the app is not letting me use it at all, im just stuck staring at a mini book flipping its pages as it tries to load, i left the app open as i ate my lunch and after 10 minutes still nothing. im not sure what went wrong but please fix this as i am so excited to use this app to learn japanese :(
Amazing for listening to Japanese stories and reading! Really helpful for immersion learning.
I recently downloaded this app and overall, it has Been very useful and easy to use. However, going into it I was already reading at the master level which has around 15 or so things to read. While I do think that most people start at a much lower level and have more content, I still would like some more advanced lessons😊.
Really great app. The content is super , and the UI is intuitive as well.
Great App for Beginners and Intermediate learners. Content a bit too easy for Advanced or Fluent level in my opinion(needs harder content like 夏目漱石 level content or novels (maybe 短編/short story versions), not just children stories like 浦島太郎, but I’ve been fluent for 15+ years so I’m a bit biased. I wouldn’t really consider N2 level to be “Master” level stuff , but the app has a ton of potential!
I’m currently at an N2 reading level. Since leaving Japan, I’ve been hoping to find ways to keep up my Japanese language skill. This app has been such a blessed find! The content is stuff I actually care to read, so it doesn’t feel like effort to study. Love that you can save words to review with in-app flashcards, too!
Can’t say enough good things. Really hope this app gets more attention and resources dedicated to it. Keep it up! ☺️
Good for reading practice but since other fonts are locked behind a paywall, be ready for some incorrect kanji and a font that is closer to mandarin standard font compared to Japanese standard font.
For many beginners, this might be a problem, as they may not be able to read the mandarin style font for certain kanji.
Just be wary of that if you’re going to make this your primary source of reading material!
Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback! Please note that the issue with text using the wrong font has been fixed as of version 2.3.2. Thank you for reporting this!I’ve been studying Japanese for over 2 years and am into reading (読書). This app is hands down the best tool for improving reading and comprehension. Perfect story narration, dictionary lookup, built in SRS with Anki export- all 100% free. I am blown away at how unpopular this app is. My only feedback: add more stories. 11/10 recommend
