So, so close to perfect. But the learning mode doesn't let me set a limit the number of new cards per day, despite changing that setting. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it keeps giving me more than the 10 new cards I set it for. Unfortunately will have to go back to Anki for this feature. Great dictionary though.

Learning mode was meant to only add new flashcards with your due flashcards. I just released a new update that adds a setting to allow you to restrict the amount of new flashcards added at a time when only new flashcards are available. Hopefully this makes the app better for you to use!

Just switched from an iPhone to a Pixel, and one of my only regrets was leaving Shirabe Jisho behind. Sagase is a million times better. It's cleaner, more modern, easier to use, and more feature-rich. It has a granular text analysis function & an entirely self-contained vocab-drilling function. Kind of in awe, tbh. I now feel sorry for iPhone Me, who never got to use Sagase. So far, everything is perfect. My only feature request would be to please add TTS pronunciations. Otherwise? Wow.

The best dictionary app. easy to use, the example sentences are good (not overly complicated), nice color palette and it also has a studying sections with flashcards, where you can make your own lists or study from pre made sets. I haven't used it in its entirety yet but it's already a five stars app. also, there are no ads so it's even better. thank you for making such great app. To the developer: please add a link so that people can donate and support your work
