Ratings and reviews

Emergency app of no use. Can only be used in Japanese. No option to switch to another language. The same with the other Yahoo apps. Pretty bad show seeing as other apps can switch to the OS language automatically.

Good app! Easy to understand pictures and not wordy Japanese. Long hold quickly and easily copy/paste into translator if needed.

No English support
