### 4/5 — アプリの不具合報告（最新版でふりがなが表示されない）

*2025-03-10*

開発者様  

いつも便利なアプリ「Furigana」を利用させていただいております。とても役に立つアプリを提供してくださり、ありがとうございます。  

しかし、最新バージョン（2024年3月リリース？）にアップデートしたところ、iPhoneでダブルタップしてもふりがなが表示されない不具合が発生しています。以前のバージョンでは正常に動作していました。  

とても重宝しているアプリなので、もし対応していただけると大変ありがたいです。  
お忙しいところ恐れ入りますが、ご確認と修正をお願いいたします。  

どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

**Developer response:** バージョン1.14では、起動方法を手動に設定することでダブルタップでふりがなを表示できるようになりました。

### 4/5 — Double tap function is not available

*2025-03-10*

Double tap function is not available after update

**Developer response:** Since version 1.14, by setting the startup method to manual, you can now display furigana with a double tap.

### 5/5 — スクリーンショットにも対応してくれたら嬉しい😣

*2024-02-05*

お試しの期間があり、試しに使ってみました。 使い方が分かると使えなくなってしまった振仮名アプリより便利でダウンロードしてから１５分程で即購入しました😊。ブラウザで使えるので本当に助かりました🥲✨※追記コピー＆ペーストをやると『例:便利→便べん利り』と、ふりがなもペーストに含まれてしまいます😅。
❣️コピペが改善されました😃✨

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい

タップでふりがなのオンオフができてとても使いやすい。辞書機能があればさらに良い。
