Excellent

The best app I’ve found for reading Japanese with furigana. Why? Because you can simply browse on Safari and have furigana displayed, which means unlimited sources.

You can also filter out words you don’t want furigana to appear onto (e.g. you can deactivate furigana for JLPT5 words).

My only suggestion, so far, would be to add a word filter that can be personalised.

非常好用!

Please add an option that makes the ruby text uncopyable(user-select: none in CSS), it’s way easier for me copying sentences to LLM and asking for grammar explanations.

진짜 좋은 어플

유료어플보다 좋은 어플임. (유료어플 사서 써보다가 이거 써보니까 이게 진짜임) 실제로 mecap에서 api돌려서 자료 따오시는듯... 사파리 읽기도구에서도 활용될 수 있다면 더 좋을듯

Almost perfect

This extension is great, but sometimes the layout looks weird. Nonetheless I use it a lot.

Works as Advertised

Thank you very much for this extension! Made life a lot easier for me.

It works on my iPhone but not my iPad

Exactly as the title says

Works great!

Not sure why other people are giving bad ratings when it clearly states that this is for Safari only. Works well for me. A few kanji having the wrong pronunciation, but that’s true for almost all the apps I have tried. Great app!

It doesn’t work on iPad

Does exactly what I want

Quickly adds furigana to Kanji on a webpage in Safari. Easy to use...not really anything to complain about.

Really nice extension

Very helpful to learn Kanji. I hope you to fix some problems like turning off not working after turning on in some websites.

needs updates?

the picture describing how to use the extension appears to be an older model of an iphone and cant be used on other browser than safari🥺

오호라, 이 어마어마하게 좋은 앱에 리뷰가 1개뿐이라니

혼또니 감사드림다

日本語でおk

音読み、訓読みの間違いが多すぎ、笑かしにきてるのかと思うくらい
メニューが開けない等、正常に作動しないサイトも多々ある

Such a great idea!

It can read pretty much correct. Japanese use same Chinese chalactors but read in different accent. It can read correctly!!!!!

Great but too flawed for learning Japanese

This extension has the potential to be great, and I'd really like to rate it 5 stars. Unfortunately, there are too many mistakes in translating kanji to furigana for it to be viable for learning Japanese. This is rectified somewhat if you switch from the default IPADic to the System Dictionary, but there are still mistakes.

I have to recommend Safarikai over this, but if the mistakes are fixed in the future then I think using Safarikai in tandem with Furiganify! could be an excellent way to learn Japanese vocabulary for beginners.

Best for Japanese learners with experience

Pros:
Easy set up.
Not intrusive in its application
Furigana looks fine

Cons:
Application may give the wrong furigana reading

I will explain what I mean above. The application will always give you a correct way of reading a kanji. But sometimes it will give you the wrong one. For instance, in the app, the 新 in 新しく will be given as しん or shin. However, 新しく is read as あたらしく (not しんしく). 新 of course can be read as しん as one of its readings. So you can still use the reading this application gives you to look up the kanji and the word you want to search in the dictionary if you need to. It seems this mainly happens for kanji that appear in words in conjunction with hiragana. So words like 明日 or 食堂 will be fine, while 新しく and 1匹 may have a slight mistake.

I say the application is still good for me because I've studied Japanese for a while now and can pick up on when this happens. The application is useful for me when there's a word I don't know. It just is a slight inconvenience that's all. This is something I'd say is the next step for improving the application. However, as it stands I say it's still very useful and am grateful to have it.

Works now!

This is an update to my firs review below. It seems Morten managed to fix something as the version 1.10.0 now works for me! This is a pretty cool extension, thanks for your work!
It even works on my iPhone's Safari!

Sorry but this extension doesn't seem to work, at all. (No furigana shows up.)
I'd be glad to be proven wrong though, as this is something I could really use.

lightweight and awesome!

Great extension.

non funziona

bellissima idea ma non mi funziona nonostante l'abbia anche reinstallata

Almost there

It does make mistakes on less common words (for a good demo try it on a list of judo techniques)
And It'd be much nicer if it had a filter feature like "Simple Furigana" by the same developer has. So I could have it ignore kanji I already know.
