Every iPhone needs a few good simple furigana apps. We benchmark 46+ of them on App Store rating, freshness, and pricing, then surface the standouts so you don't have to scroll the App Store yourself.
Easily add ruby characters (furigana) to Japanese text. This app supports both hiragana and romaji annotations for kanji, and works with both vertical and horizontal layouts. Share or print your annotated text, or use the extension to add furigana directly within other apps like Safari.
