Disappointed that the audio will not play back as this is the feature I need the most. I thought it was because I was using the free version, so I subscribed, and, nope, totally unresponsive! Edit: researching shows that the audio playback now just doesn't work on Android 10 and 11. Subscription canceled.

Good app, and one I paid for by the way, but it hasn't been updated in a while. On Android 10 and 11, the audio playback doesn't work anymore. After some experimentation, I discovered that the breakage is due to the "unlocker app" that gets downloaded when you subscribe to the paid version. If you delete the unlocker, audio works again. So I guess the bottom like is that you should continue to use the free version.

This app is great for expanding from intermediate japanese! New kanji that are introduced have linked translations, there is an option to show furigana for those rusty on kanji and am option to hide it for those that don't need the crutch. There is audio playback of the articles which is super useful for those that can't be looking at the screen! I opted for the monthly subscription to avoid the ads since the fee was super cheap and it's less discouraging to keep using the app without ads.
