User reviews

Old review had over-glanced a few things. It’s not just a monthly payment. There is a one time.

Old review: I actually love the design with this app. The functionality is great. However, what should be a maybe at most $5 feature, is stuck behind a monthly paywall just to see the definition of the kanji. I have been trying to get rid of every monthly expense I have. Please let us just own this feature for a slightly more expensive price without monthly payments. Thank you.

Edit: Sorry for backlashing earlier on the monthly. I totally glanced over the lifetime at first. It was my fault. Thank you for reading over the original review! It shows you actually care.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I completely understand your concern. I’d just like to point out that we also offer a Lifetime plan, so there’s no recurring subscription, and it’s priced lower than many similar apps. I’d also like to mention that I’m an indie developer. Building and continuously maintaining this app has taken hundreds of hours, and I also have to cover costs such as Apple’s fees, development tools and marketing. Pricing it any lower would simply make the app unsustainable. I genuinely appreciate your feedback, and thanks for giving the app a try.
