Sync Customer Insights

1. I still wouldn't mind optional ads or some way to donate! This is one of my all-time favorite learning apps for sure.The perfect reader! I tried many but the in built translation and individual furigana visibility toggle is ideal.

2. Great app that worked fine on my old LG phone but now I get a "not connected to wifi" message (wifi is on) when I try to use it on my Pixel 5.Simply an amazing app for Japanese learners, and I'd say it's dang near indispensable.

3. Highly recommended!The layout of this app is perfect and I only wish they would make another version for the full NHK/normal Japanese news.Love it! No ads, simple, light resource.

4. Great work!An ad-free reader for reading NHK News on easy mode.

5. EDIT: The dev added an option to cap the number of articles the app syncs, so now I truly have no criticisms.

6. Settings are easy to tweak & does what it says on the tin without bloat.

7. I will appreciate if there's highlight word features based by JLPT levels.

8. The developer even fixed a bug in the dark theme after I mentioned it.
