Good start to clean-looking program Simple and clean layout, which makes it easy to use from the beginning. Nice touch to include a few Aozora books so the user can get started right away. Developments that I would need in order to use the program instead of other Japanese readers I currently use: 1) a way to share highlighted words with other programs--some of the words aren't in the dictionary, so if I can share them with EBPocket, I can find the definitions. 2) the option to leave the dictionary open at the bottom of the screen while still being able to scroll the book text--I don't like having to click back to the book every time, I'm finished looking up the word. (As user progresses in Japanese, the current setting would be fine as it encourages the user to rely a bit less on the dict and more on their memory.)

Good It crashes a lot but it's the best reading utility for Japanese on Mobil services. Therefore I love it.
James Morris
Exellent The best japanese reader app on the market. The only way this ciuld ne better is with epub and mobi support. Just convert your books with calibre to text.
Wolf Haven
I like it Nice app. A couple other features would make it an amazing app though. For example: The ability to download books from Aozora straight to the app, an option for Furigana above kanji, bookmarks, a nicer UI for your books, and a lock option for the touch dictionary.

If you're interested in mobile e-learning and want to take full advantage of your commute or short breaks during the day, you'll want this app on your phone!!!
You'll go through 3000 most common adjectives & verbs, learn their meanings and how to conjugate them. On later difficulty levels you'll practice and test what you've learned with gradually less hints and tips. All words are written in kanji or kana with furigana if it's available, so basic Japanese reading skills are required. All difficulty levels are available right from the start (through long click on each conjugation), so you can choose to just test your knowledge with no tips or explanations. After a few sessions you can easily identify most problematic conjugations thanks to color coded conjugation panels that change depending on your overall performance for that conjugation (red, yellow, green). If you want to perfect your Japanese even further, you can try an additional challenge of unlocking all available achievements.
