Great for reading and listening!
Amazing for listening to Japanese stories and reading! Really helpful for immersion learning.
Best Japanese reader app I’ve used so far :)
How is this app free? 🥹 It’s just a really comprehensive app with engaging stories, audio (which you can adjust the speed of), accurate translations, kanji + roma, and ability to save new words to practice. Can’t fault it at all - except looking forward to having even more short stories!
Good but lacking advanced content
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😊.

Fantastic!
Really great app. The content is super , and the UI is intuitive as well.
Fluent Japanese User Opinion
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!

Well done — hoping for more!
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…
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!

Response from developer
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!
Extremely underrated
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
