Ratings and reviews

^-^ 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!

It's great and the developers seem to be working hard. While there are many translations for vocabulary words, there are no overall translations for grammar. Sometimes I think I understand a sentence, but it's hard to check if I understand the right meaning because the grammar is not translated into a full sentence. For example, see Todai Easy Japanese app. They have direct translations for vocab but also have a translation for each individual sentence. Stories are much more fun than Todai tho!

Often puts the reading for the current kanji as the second use, which can be confusing. No audio or translation for the sentences like Satori Reader has. There is a lag when you click each kanji for the reading. Texts are very short. No definitions for non kanji words. Has promise, but doesn't do enough. Highlighting twxt doesnt work properly and jumps around randomly. Not enough stuff to read.
