Ratings and reviews

It's such a great and simple resource for just reading. A lot of other apps try to add too many different features, and make themselves bloated. That said, I think a good feature would be notes on selected text. You could select text, write notes, and review them later. This would help with translating phrases and understanding hiragana words. Like on paper, you could underline and write the meaning/grammar.

Just jumping in, but looks to cover a gap I was having in my learning. Just a few quick things I noticed: needs a dark mode very bad. It is binding at night. I would also love to see some clickable grammar explanations. And when clicking on a kanji, bring the current usage to the top. Right now if it's a verb, often have to scroll to find the correct definition. But overall it looks promising and will see what more it has to offer. Thanks for the app and material.

^-^ Yep! Everything seems to be working just fine now and faster than before! Fantastic! I have just one suggestion. Add an option for the romanji above or below the characters if that's not too much trouble, please. I'm still memorizing characters, and I'm sure it would be good training wheels for others as well. Only a suggestion though. Thank you for working so hard!
