James French (ID: 000000ab5ea5e7c1) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/21/2019 Seems to work okay but I have an issue of the page trying to constantly load which makes the word in Korean and English a light grey colour, I am guessing it is trying to load the sentence because that is something I don't get to see. Would be 5 stars if it wasn't for these two issues.
