### 5/5 — 번역한걸 그대로 저장될수있게 만들어주세요

*2026-08-03*

번역한거 나중에 다시보려면 다시 번역해야되서 번역한걸 한번에 번역된걸로 저장되서 로딩없이 볼수있게 해주세요 부탁드립니다

**Developer response:** 소중한 의견을 남겨주셔서 감사합니다.

한 번 번역한 페이지를 다시 번역하지 않고 바로 다시 볼 수 있으면 좋겠다는 의견은 정말 많은 도움이 되었습니다.

현재 웹 만화의 경우, 번역 결과를 이미지 그대로 저장하는 방식은 저장 용량이 크게 늘어나는 데다, 앱에서 사용자가 현재 보고 있는 콘텐츠의 상태, 특히 어떤 페이지를 보고 있는지를 정확하게 파악하기 어려워 현재로서는 지원이 어렵습니다.

다만, 클라우드 번역에는 캐시 기능이 적용되어 있어 한 번 번역한 텍스트는 서버에서 다시 번역할 필요가 없기 때문에 이후에는 더 빠르게 표시됩니다.

반면 로컬 라이브러리의 경우에는 기술적으로 구현이 가능할 것으로 생각하고 있으며, 앞으로의 기능 개선 사항으로 검토해 보겠습니다.

소중한 의견을 보내주셔서 다시 한번 감사드립니다.

### 5/5 — Best translation app!

*2026-07-29*

This is easily the best translation app available right now for manga, comics, manhwa, etc. I’ve tried so many and this one is my favorite

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the amazing review!
Hearing that this is your favorite app for manga translation means a lot to me.

Your support motivates me to keep adding new features and making the app even better. Thank you again, and I hope you continue enjoying it!

### 5/5 — 이어보기 기능 좀 만들어주세요

*2026-04-30*

볼때마다 페이지를 다시 찾아가야되서 번거로워요 나머지는 다 좋네요

**Developer response:** 구입해 주셔서 감사합니다!

“번역할 언어를 자동으로 판별하여 일본어·영어에서 자동으로 한국어로 번역되었으면 좋겠다”는 요청에 대해 매우 참고가 되었습니다. 향후 업데이트에서 보다 원활하게 이용하실 수 있도록 자동 언어 감지 및 번역 기능 개선을 검토해 나가겠습니다.

계속해서 더 좋은 앱을 목표로 개선해 나가겠습니다. 앞으로도 잘 부탁드립니다!

### 5/5 — 자동번역기능 넣어주세요.

*2026-03-28*

매번 버튼 눌리기 넘 힘들어요. 페이지 넘어가서 화면 리프레시 되면 자동으로 번역되는 기능이 필요함

**Developer response:** 리뷰 남겨주셔서 감사합니다!

매번 버튼을 누르셔야 해서 번역 과정이 번거로우셨겠네요. 제안해주신 '페이지 전환 시 자동 번역 기능'은 앱의 편의성을 위해 꼭 필요한 기능이라고 생각합니다.

현재 자동 번역 기능 구현을 긍정적으로 검토하고 있으며, 최대한 빨리 업데이트를 통해 개선할 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다. 소중한 의견 주셔서 정말 감사합니다!

### 5/5 — Super offre

*2026-03-27*

Fonctionne bien est très rapide et pas besoin de internet, même si certaines traductions sont inexact on comprend très bien la traduction.
Il manque juste la traduction automatique (en discret) et plus de langue sources

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre avis !

Je suis ravi d'apprendre que la rapidité de la traduction hors ligne vous donne satisfaction.

Je prends bien note de vos suggestions concernant la traduction automatique et l'ajout de nouvelles langues. Je ferai de mon mieux pour intégrer ces améliorations lors des prochaines mises à jour afin de vous offrir une expérience encore plus fluide.

Cordialement,
HIrotoshi MAKINO
