Vincent Popo ,

App currently crashes when opened to camera :(

Hope the devs see this, but the app crashes on my phone as soon as it launches and begins trying to process characters. If I cover the camera and switch to another mode, then it turns out ok, but since I got this app specifically for the camera mode this is a bit of a dealbreaker. Not sure if it’s just my device but hope it gets resolved soon! Otherwise great app.

Edit: The developers have been extremely helpful in trying to track down the issues, best experience I’ve ever had with an app dev. Updating the rating as they find the problem, and in the meantime still good to use the image upload vs live camera recognition!

Developer Response ,

Hi Vincent. Thank you very much for reporting this bug. We are investigating the issue now but we have trouble to reproduce it. Would you mind send us more details (like a screen recording?) at feedback.ios@yomiwa.net please? Thank you very much.

Best app ever for Chinese/ Mandarin help

I’m a student and I’ve been struggling trying to learn Chinese while studying other classes. Quite honestly the best app I’ve ever used and it does crash but barely and it found every character I needed to find. I will be buying the unlimited and I believe you should too. The one time fee is definitely worth and helping the developers for their great work.

Awesome except for one thing

My only complaint is that the text analyzer glitches once you go past a certain number of lines/characters. Same problem with Yomiwa. Please fix, otherwise great!

Developer Response ,

Hello, thank you very much for your review. We will look into the bug you are referring to. Could you please send us an example of a text that makes this problem occur? You can send it to us at feedback.ios@yomiwa.net. Thank you very much! Edit: Problem solved in the latest update :)
