### 5/5 — Yomi Browser App user - PG Mumbai India

*2020-05-22*

I have just started using this App Yomi Browser to study Japanese web portals. It’s a highly user friendly App for professionals and students of the Japanese language. In less than a week I could learn many high level Business Japanese words. This was made possible because of the flagship feature of Furigana readings of the Kanji characters and the inbuilt Japanese dictionary. Liked the other utilities of the study of Kanjis in line with JLPT exam levels. 
This App is highly recommended to all the professionals who wish to learn and apply business Japanese on their jobs! A handy and reliable App to have when dealing with Japanese clients. Only catch is that the user should have basic knowledge of hiragana, katakana and N3 Kanji.

### 5/5 — Excellent app!!

*2020-05-20*

Super useful to browse on Japanese websites.

### 5/5 — Yomi Browser

*2020-05-15*

Good for learning Japanese

### 4/5 — 可以横屏了但是问题还很多

*2020-02-27*

yahoo 日本新闻的很多网页打开缓慢，或者不会自动加注假名和查词功能。
然后不支持夜间模式，目前体验还是一般般

**Developer response:** 你好。 感谢您的建议。 我们在上次更新中添加了横向模式支持。编辑：我们已经修复了Yahoo新闻的问题。

### 5/5 — Awesome to read Japanese

*2020-02-16*

Really the best app out there to read Japanese websites by displaying furiganas or romajis on top of the Japanese kanjis. It makes my life so much simpler!

Meilleure appli pour lire les sites web japonais en affichant en direct les furiganas ou romajis au dessu des kanjis. Ça simplifie vraiment la vie et permet la lecture!

### 5/5 — Super Tool!!

### 1/5 — Crashes too much

*2026-01-16*

Crashes within minutes

**Developer response:** 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

### 1/5 — 已经购买了，为什么还有广告呢？

*2025-01-02*

已经购买了，还是会出现谷歌广告，请修改这个bug

**Developer response:** 您好，感谢您的购买。您看到的广告来自您通过 Yomi 浏览器访问的网站，很遗憾我无法控制这些广告。

### 2/5 — Split screen?

*2024-01-21*

Bookmark save, split screen on iPad, multipage

### 2/5 — Not yet operable…

*2022-11-05*

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.

**Developer response:** Hello. Thank you very much for the detailed feedback. We will try to update the app soon addressing your concerns! If you want to provide us with more details (screenshots) at feedback.ios@yomiwa.net, that would also be really helpful.

### 3/5 — Good but need some filters

*2024-10-02*

Annoying banners and ads should be taken away

**Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for your feedback. We don't add any ad banners. They are from the original websites that you visit and which are displayed as is. We simply add furigana on each webpage and make words clickable.

### 3/5 — 希望と依頼

*2024-02-10*

仕組みはものすごい嬉しかったので今後のアップデートにも期待します。
日本語以外の記事に翻訳された文がふりがなのように表示されたら語学の勉強にも使えるなって思いました。逆に日本語記事が英語の字幕的なのが付けば海外の方の日本語の勉強に使ってもらえるなと感じました。

また、人名などふりがなの認識誤りがありましたので修正依頼したいと言う場面はありましたので、間違ってる部分を選択してフィードバックする仕組みが欲しいと思いました。AIを使ってたら難しいと思いますがよろしくお願いします。

お問い合わせチャットbot的なので質問投げると修正がいたずらでなければ適応されるなんて感じだと非常に助かります。

これから、アプリ使い倒したいと共に今後の開発も頑張ってください。また、小中学生が健全に使えるブラウザアプリに進化していくことも期待します。

### 3/5 — 设置语言

*2023-08-04*

怪怪的app，app设置语言不能调，只能看英文

### 3/5 — Works decent most of the time.

*2021-11-23*

Is there a way to make the default lanuch page the last page you read? Every time I start the app, it'll take me to another page so I lose my reading progress

**Developer response:** Hello. Thank you very much for your feedback. We will do it in the next update 👍🏻

### 4/5 — 3 day trial

*2024-05-11*

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.

**Developer response:** 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

### 4/5 — Great app overall

*2021-09-11*

1 bug report. Translation windows sometimes open off the side of the screen with only a small portion visible

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Bueno

*2024-07-13*

Es bueno, sobre todo cuando quieres saber cómo se lee los Kanjis, y su significado.

### 5/5 — Most seamless furigana and definitions lookup you could imagine

*2023-03-11*

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.

### 5/5 — Hey

*2022-04-02*

Please, update

**Developer response:** Hello. What would you like to be updated specifically? Edit: Update done :)

### 5/5 — 这…

*2022-01-19*

为什么加载不出来啊？？

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2021-07-09*

This app is great for learning kanji. You just open your regular browser, find the article or text you want to read, copy the link and paste on the app browser. The furigana will appear automatically. Tapping on a word will give its definition.
Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Super pratique

*2021-07-01*

Difficile de comprendre pourquoi cette appli est si peu connue. Elle est vraiment top pour progresser en Japonais tout en surfant sur le web. Je crée mes listes de vocabulaires chaque jour à partir des articles je ne lis puis je les révise régulièrement avec le mode flashcards.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2020-07-30*

Works well

### 5/5 — 就蛮好

*2020-06-24*

对像我这种不会翻墙的人来说，就是神器啊！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

### 5/5 — Ideal tool to learn real world Japanese

*2020-06-18*

This helps me read websites written for Japanese people instead of just educational texts. Really well done

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-06-08*

Super utile pour naviguer sur les sites web Japonais
