### 1/5 — 字體太細，好難用。

*2026-07-30, version 8.42.0*

字體不能設定大小是最大缺點，預設字體很小。就算極多功能都沒有用。

### 1/5 — 废物公司

*2026-05-05, version 8.36.1*

垃圾软件，当初的低价永久会员，最后啥也没有，早点倒闭吧。

### 1/5 — 垃圾，词典注册账号还要手机号？？？

*2026-04-19, version 8.35.1*

没见过查词典注册的账号还要绑定手机号码的，意义何在呢？既然如此为何还要提供邮箱谷歌微信苹果登录的选项呢？用任何其他方式登陆还是会跳转到手机验证码接收页面…纯属脱裤子放屁
更别提收费改订阅制了，垃圾软件，狗都不用！

### 2/5 — 连接差，背词经常网络问题

*2026-03-20*

经常因为请求超时背不了词，用了两个多月了，这个问题解决不了。

### 2/5 — ***

*2026-03-01*

Some etymology is not clear, and very few parts of the content are wrong.

### 5/5 — 很好用

*2026-02-09, version 8.33.2*

非常本土和便利

### 3/5 — 中文解釋被丟進日文發音引擎

*2026-02-03, version 8.33.2*

收藏聽單詞中播放例句的中文解釋，被丟進日文發音引擎，
完全錯誤沒辦法聽

### 1/5 — 一堆错误！

*2026-01-11*

真的是错漏百出的一个收费软件！词条收录少！基本都是以weblio有的词条，审核人员才给你审批！不然就不给你通过！
就连moji自己官方提供的例句也一堆错！
app里面，词条平假名标错！发音有误是常态！
这个软件就是一个开发人员为了收费的软件！让用户自己帮它改错！它就坐着收费！
实属打工牛马自费打工即视感！
唯一有用的功能只是背词功能了！
什么时候倒闭下架啊这个破软件！

### 1/5 — 乐色

*2026-01-08, version 8.32.2*

错误无数的垃圾软件

### 5/5 — 好用，可以随时点开不熟悉的词，而且还有发音录音

*2025-12-26, version 8.32.2*

好用
