Ratings and reviews

This app may be good but it doesn't allow you to change the language from Japanese. The same for all Yahoo apps, pointless for gaijin.

Beware of accidentally creating multiple Yahoo IDs. I ended up creating 4 IDs over the time and now I can't login into 3 of them. Moreover my PayPay credit card is linked to the one of those 3 IDs.

I can't live without it! Great app! Hey you! Because you can't read Japanese and can only add one star to this app, it's your problem, not this app. Ridiculous!
