### 1/5 — アドレスバーにペーストできない。

*2021-09-27*

他から持ってきたアドレスが表示できないので、子供に見せたい習い事のページが入力できない。
もちろん解決には一文字づつ打ってもいいが、そんなアプリならば別のアプリを当たりたいと思ってしまいます。
どうしても他になければ戻ってくるけど、このアプリが問題なければ課金してお世話になろうと思っていただけに残念です。

### 2/5 — iOS11で動かない

*2017-09-24*

iOS11で使用するとクラッシュしてしまうので直してほしいです。たとえばgoogleで検索をかけると落ちます。その後、起動してもそこから？始まるので立ち上げてもすぐ落ちてどうにもなりません。

### 5/5 — But i cannot login twitter, ameba an so

*2017-01-09*

Can app allow me to disable the translation function for a while for me to login because the translation will cause the login function of twitter and so not working?

Btw
This app is not only useful for Japanese children to study 漢字, but also very useful for 外國人 to study 漢字 with the Japanese web page we like. You can create a similar app for 外國人.
