Great App

This is really a great app. I’ve been using it for over a year and just recently made the in app purchase just to support you. I want to keep you improving the app. Really good job. One feature request if I may. I can read 80 to 90% of the Kanji characters but sometimes I am really distracted by the furigana. On the other hand, sometimes I need the furigana too. It would be really nice if you had a toggle like you do for the English, to be able to turn on and off the furigana. You could put it in the top left corner like the English toggle, or you could make it a floating toggle like the text to voice toggle. Thx for the great app. よろしくお願いします。

Thank you very much for purchasing and taking the time out to share your thoughts. I would definitely consider the feature you requested and will make it happen if I find a nice way to integrate it into the existing features. Your support is greatly appreciated. I'll keep updating the app in order to help your scripture study in Japanese.

NEEDS the ability to turn off furigana

Love this app, but it needs the ability to turn off furigana: it interferes with the ability to look up words, which is one of the main problems with the Gospel Library Japanese Scriptures. I understand that if the church still hasn’t done it, it’ll likely be difficult to do it yourself, but it’s 100% the next step. Perhaps, if that’s not doable, you can apply tags to all the words so we can just tap on them and it’ll show a dictionary entry for each word. It would be very nice to be able to see what is what type of speech more easily like you see in TODAI’s “Easy Japanese News” AppAlso, how do we send feature requests? Since the app used text to voice software, could you highlight what ever words are being spoken? That would make it a lot easier to follow along, especially for beginners

Thank you so much! I am a missionary studying Japanese, and I had been trying to find a good Japanese/English Bible with furigana since I still struggle with kanji. I almost bought a $30dll Japanese Bible just because it had furigana, but then I found this app! The fact that it has also other religious books makes it even better since I also like studying about other religions. I wish I could give you more than 5 stars, I hope to see more books added to this app such in the future I’d definitely buy them!Again, thank you!

This app is so great!. I was a missionary in Japan 25 years ago, and I want to start working on reading the Scriptures in Japanese. I love that the English version for each verse is right below, and that the Old and New Testaments are included!. Thank you so much! And it has furigana. Most online Bibles and apps do not. Love it!
