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!

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.
