Abandoned?
The app is useful but sometimes bugs out. no updates in a year?
Very helpful for Japanese reading
Thank you for creating such a helpful app. I use it to read Japanese EPUB books, and it has been a great support in my Japanese learning journey.
I really appreciate having an iOS app that makes it easy to read Japanese books and news articles. One issue I’ve noticed is that on my iPad, the app sometimes freezes and becomes unresponsive.
I also understand that adding flashcards to Anki is limited to subscribers. While I understand the reason for that, I wish free users could have at list for adding new words.

Awesome app with some nitpicks
This is a super handy app for Japanese lookups! It even works on any web page so you can read whatever you want. That being said, my first impression of the app was kind of soured by the fact that I was instantly greeted with a subscription popup before I even had the chance to try anything. Also I’m not sure if there is a setting somewhere I’ve missed, but is it possible to view alternate definitions instead of whatever gets parsed first? I find this can be a problem with certain verb forms, like 変わってる gets parsed as “to be unusual” rather than a form of 変わる. Anyhow, really like the app and keep up the good work!

Wonderful app!
Found this app after searching for other resources on reddit r/learnjapanese and cant be happier! This app has so many useful features and the developer is working hard to add even more exciting ones!
Fills a gap for Japanese learners on mobile
This has completely changed my approach to reading in Japanese. As an intermediate learner, I’ve known for a while it’s been time to get involved in reading more native content, but the process of looking up readings and meanings from physical books is honestly really tedious. And I can never seem to get my hands on material that captures my interest with furigana, especially because I’m more interested in nonfiction.
I am aware of some tools that work with web browsers, websites that add furigana to text, and workflows for desktop/laptop users but as a primarily iPhone user those workflows didn’t work for me. And while furigana automation is great, nothing brought it all together like this app. All this is just to say I think this app fills perfectly a need I’ve had for years and I wish I found it sooner!
I would honestly use it if it JUST displayed furigana with dictionary lookups when you tap the word. When I found out it also keeps track of your vocabulary and you can browse the web with it, I was blown away. This app immediately became a part of my regular study on a weekly basis now.
The creator also reached out and interacted with me on reddit to ask about feature improvements and requests which gives me a huge relief that this isn’t one of the many abandoned apps, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store next.
