Thank you for reporting the crash issue. We have just released an important update with many bug fixes and new features. We hope you give it a new try. Vivien

3 day trial

Note that the entire app is a 3 day trial. After that you have to pay $14.99 to use it.

Well, admittedly, I like that method more than a straight up payment or gutting the app for free users.

I’m not sure I will continue using the app though. It’s missing a “find on page” feature, and that’s a real killer for me.

I’ll rate it 4 stars because it renders the Japanese-Japanese dictionary in English, though.

Response from developer

Hello. Thank you very much for the review. Please understand that the 14.99$ unlocks it for life :). What do you mean by "it renders the Japanese-Japanese dictionary in English"? Also, can you please tell us more about the requested feature "find on page"? You want to perform text search you mean? You can email us at feedback.ios@yomiwa.net

Most seamless furigana and definitions lookup you could imagine

This is easily the best app (far better than safari plugins/extensions) I've come across. Absolutely seamlessly view furigana and/or definitions while browsing. Only downside I can see is it's somewhat lacking as a standalone browser, no tabs, browser settings, etc. But as a learning tool to read native content, absolutely unbeatable. Worth the price and then some.

Not yet operable…

It does not properly identify and handle many links in articles. The definition window often appears out of the screen area, so definitions of words can’t be seen in their entirety. The flashcard system is unusable. Instead of saving the word, it saves a link to the article. I’d like to support Japanese language learning tools similar to this one, but not ones that are far from complete and operable.

Great!
