Ratings and reviews

Simply an amazing app for Japanese learners, and I'd say it's dang near indispensable. EDIT: The dev added an option to cap the number of articles the app syncs, so now I truly have no criticisms. I still wouldn't mind optional ads or some way to donate! This is one of my all-time favorite learning apps for sure.
