This app is amazing!!! I just came back to try it out again, after a couple years of not using it. The quality improvements you have made are absolutely amazing. I truly appreciate it so much, your app is incredibly useful! I can tell you improved your dictionary translations a ton, the ones for Japanese and Chinese are so much better now, and the ability to translate a bigger phrase/sentence in Google translate is also very useful (even my other favorite app for Chinese Pleco cannot do that). The audio feature is amazing - I love that I can repeat a sentence on a loop so I can take time to re-listen and look up new words, it’s incredibly useful for Japanese and Chinese where I need to hear the pronunciation a lot to learn the words since text alone will not tell me all of the pronunciation. There is so much in this app now that is perfect for how I study, intensely convienient and just so cleanly designed. I love it so much, thank you for making and working on it!If I’d want anything extra, it would be nice to have the ability to upload documents like from my Google drive etc, so I could read novels I have txt or pdf files for but no website address for. Maybe there is a way and I just don’t know how to find it. It’s not a big deal at all, because I can find a lot of material online to read and use in the app. That’s just about the only thing I ever notice - sometimes I want to read a txt or epub or pdf I have and have to open it up in a ebook reader app that cannot handle the language I’m learning nearly as well so I’m left with no audio and not-good definitions in another app. And now the app has VIDEO abilities! I just realized today I can watch a Chinese drama in the app, skip right to lines I want, and repeat as needed while looking at the text and translation. It’s so useful! I knew of some computer tools that allowed that, but I prefer studying on my phone and this app is the most convenient way to do this. Just thank you so so much for making this app, and working on it still, I can absolutely see how many improvements have been made. It’s so incredibly useful. Thank you!
Omg!!! BEST APP for me

Just a suggestion

It's clear that the developers have worked very hard to make this app possible for everyone. Just one suggestion in the future: maybe a built-in Spaced Repetition (SR) feature for the flashcards?Thank you!
Developer Response
Hi,Thanks much for the kind words. 🙏You’re absolutely right about spaced repetition. There's a first small step in 3.0.0, and more to come as we figure out what’s next.
