DONT USE IT FOR NOW
*** UPDATE - The sync. bug has been corrected, so now this app. is fully usable *** Some bad points regarding the application... - VERY slow startup time - too many adds ! - very slow adn innacurate search - example sentences not easily accessible (miss furigana, should appear in detailed word pages) - kanji details miss a list of common kanji coumpounds Now good points... - pronunciation - skipcode search - flashcards - lot of configuration menus For the moment only two stars ! But can certainly get more with an update
Why
Did you remove stroke order animation?
unstable ?
It is working for a while and then for unknown reason start to crash when I run it... I need to reinstall via Itunes, again, again and again... There is no help at all from the development team to correct the bugs... After 6months still nothing!!!! Do not be surprise that people prefer running hacked softwares when these such persons do not help people who bought the apps...
Good but long load and too much ads.
Its a nice small program. However, its a little slow on the load up and there are too much ads.
Good idea but still needs work
It is a great idea, but I have a couple of issues, one is that it keeps crashing, secondly some of the example uasges of the words being looked up are quite strange and thirdly it takes a long time to load the application, when looking up a word I do not have time to wait so long for the application to load.
