BAD - Now Only AI Articles

Todaii has begun to only use AI articles. The news articles are now useless

Translating

Better translations would make this app so much better

为什么朗读声选择了女声,有些新闻朗读却是男声

在设置中选择了女声朗读,但今天的两篇新闻朗读声都是男声,而且语速太快,语声细尖,听得很不舒服,为什么朗读不顺着设置的选择呢?

Good

Great app for learning Japanese.

Easy to use and straightforward. Great also for the short bursts to study when time is short as well. Would recommend.

Translation is not loading anymore

He still really enjoy using this app in the morning cause I’ll be able to find new words and phrases, but I’m able to enjoy this is not working properly.

AI Replacing JLPT Listening Practice

I remember the JLPT practice listening test used to have real human voice conversations. It seems like they have all been replaced with AI (even old audios too). And now it’s not a good representation of the real test, cause the AI talks in monotone/clearly pronounced words. Being back the real humans conversations

Good

It's helpful for learning Japanese.
But whenever I open a news article, my background music stops immediately. It would be great if the app didn’t interrupt music unless audio is actually played. I hope this can be fixed in a future update. Thank you!

Easy grammar

There is a lot grammar you can learn from highlight your cursor on text you don’t know. Vocabulary all to reading.

Horrible / dissapointing

Me arrepiento terriblemente de haber pagado esta app de por vida. Un bug detrás de otro, aparentemente nadie le hizo QA a esto.
Las palabras de vocabulario están en cualquier idioma menos español, inglés, vietnamita, koreano mezclado, un desastre, cualquier IA cura el vocabulario y lo arregla en 10 minutos.
Dice que soporta múltiples dispositivos pero no sincroniza nada de uno a otro por lo cual a menos que sea para que 3 amigos compartan una sola cuenta es inútil, es como si tuviera cuentas diferentes en las compu y el teléfono.
No estamos hablando the una app de compras mal traducida, es una app de aprendizaje de lenguaje!!

I deeply regret paying for this app. One bug after another; apparently, no one did any QA on it.
The vocabulary words are in every language except Spanish, English, Vietnamese, and a mix of Korean and English—a disaster. Any AI could fix the vocabulary in 10 minutes.
It says it supports multiple devices, but it doesn't sync anything between them, so unless three friends are sharing a single account, it's useless. It's like having different accounts on my computer and phone.
We're not talking about a poorly translated shopping app; it's a language learning app!

NHK Easy News Delay

I love the app. Tomo no nikki articles are very interesting and super useful for learning all the basic kanji! Please keep them coming more often please.

Translate slow or won't load

The free version never had these slow latency issues . Once I purchase paid version this has become painfully slow or won't load at all . App is great but the fact I cannot transalte articles is a bit frustrating.

Can’t access my premium account from my iPhone!

I purchased the premium membership from my ipad and now I can’t access to my account in my iPhone, where I need it the most! Tried searching for support but the link on the app store only takes you to their page without any option for support! Please provide me with a solution to this issue!

Response from developer

Please send us a photo of the upgrade invoice and the gmail registered on the app via gmail todai.easylife@gmail.com so we can check and support you.

Horrible

The app has a lot of issues and your account doesn’t sync from phone to computer so progress is lost. Totally messed up.
I tried to contact support in the Apple store and it just takes you to the web. I sent an email and no one answers.
Totally unprofessional.

They contacted me after this review and after around 8 emails requesting the same information over and over again, no solving of the issue. Terrible support.

Also, I have the app in Spanish and half the things are in English or Vietnamese. Not a real translation of the app. Trying to learn vocabulary when the definition is in a language you don’t understand is quite annoying. It is a language learning app but it doesn’t work as one.

Hi! We sincerely apologize for the delayed response. Our team will follow up with you via email shortly to get this resolved. Thank you for your patience. 🙏

Video tab non-existent

After paying for premium, the video tab disappeared, despite that being what convinced me to pay for premium in the first place. I’m also having the same issue on my android phone, so it is clearly not a device issue, but an issue with the app itself. This is very frustrating, to say the least.

I payed for premium about 5 minutes ago as of typing this.

Great app

Thank you

Flawed

I paid to get the tomo chat. It does not teach you how to speak Japanese but more importantly it really does not recognize what you’re saying. It makes up entire sentences. The speech recognition is severely flawed in my version. The lessons also can be hard to follow. You basically have to know Japanese to follow the lessons.

Nice app

終於有繁體中文的app可以學啦

Very good

All ai slop

There used to be real articles form
NHK and CNN. Now all the articles are from ‘todaii’ and are clearly ai rubbish. I’m hear to learn Japanese not to read ai nonsense. Disappointing because this used to be a good app.
