Great app for reading japanese texts. Just copy a text and you can see furigana and the vocabulary definition of any kanji/word. I also love the ankiDroid integration, which makes it really easy to build a vocabulary learning deck with words from the texts I read. Sadly the app can't handle emojis in texts. If the text contains any emoji i recieve an error "Illegal Argument: Failure when converting to UTF-8: Incomplete..." It would be great if you could fix this.

Not a good sign when the app parses the 間 from の間で as ま instead of 間. It's like, right in the example text for the tutorial. Nobody reads it にっぽん either unless they're ancient. Definitely needs a dictionary update, I imagine it uses a really old version of a shareware version which is understandable but that being the case this needs some bolts tightened before I recommend it. Maybe add a function for users to submit tickets for wrong readings? Hinders more than it helps.

close to perfect would be perfect if it allows users to change the colour of the text instead of just the background colour. This is because if users want to use dark theme say changing background colour to black, no one would be able to read the text as it is still in gray.

One of the best apps for studying Japanese, and is great for reading. I use the clipboard listener function extensively for reading websites, articles, LINE messages, emails, and Twitter posts. Each new update brings added functionality which only adds to the app.

I really like the functionality of the app. I love the Ankidroid integration. The UI sometimes feels a bit clunky and unintuitive. The developer has implemented a feature I asked them for. Technically, the app maybe only deserves 4 stars, but I want all the best for it.

I'm learning Japanese, wanted an app that translates words as I highlight them. This does the trick. Bought you a coffee! Thankyou!

Very simple to use, its totally awesome that this integrates with AnkiDroid! Very helpful application for learning practical Japanese.

The app is great but needs improvement, I suggest to add the functionality of coloring the already known jlpt words and the words in process of learning in the app.
