About the Developer

Austin Riley (ID: 000000b339c2e717) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/26/2019 Really like the idea. I get "undefined" printed for the Kanji a lot though.

Clus Agus (ID: 000000eecc6e85a9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/09/2019 With latest update its great!

Italo Cortez (ID: 00000066fd7149a3) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/27/2019 I do like the passive learning it gives but atm for me the audio does not work. Could you please check that? With out that i really can not give you a higher rating

Axel Echevarría Piérola (ID: 000000cac6a8dc39) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/26/2019 You have problems, you can not play the audio to hear how it sounds

(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/11/2019 I love this! Only thing that I would improve is adding a function to turn off romaji, since I want to train my eyes to read the script smoothly. Otherwise, a great learning tool
