NHK News Reader with Furigana

Ok I don't understand much yet but in the future this will be very helpful as you get video and the accompanying text written with furigana which is great. The only minor issue is that sometimes the news anchor talks for a bit before getting to the written text so you get lost for a little bit but all in all this is good. I wish there were more apps that have Japanese audio matching kanji with furigana as this is what foreign language learners badly need.

When I give the app all my attention it operates properly. But like a lazy employee, the moment I navigate away to check an email or go to the dictionary, the app stops working properly and the screen goes white or freezes on one part of the page when I come back. I regret paying for it.

I saw that easy news has e offline mode for unlocker.. Please consider having it for this app too because it will be really helpful when readers read on trains and connection can be quite bad then the app do not load.. It is quite frustrating

There's a bug with selecting text and the "web search" option - it only works once and the text is now permanently selected, no way to select anything else without closing and reopening the article. Edit - removed a star for constantly nagging to rate it every few minutes, even though I already rated it days ago

Thank you for making this useful app, but there is one problem that sometimes I want to copy the word to look up to the dictionary, I can only do it once, then I have to log out, log in again to copy the other words which is very time consuming

Switching this app to background and back will not redraw the article (content is white without pictures or text). Returning to top level menu does not remember which category you last opened an article from (it should). Copy function should definitely NOT copy furigana - makes the whole copy mostly unusable. What this app really needs is an option to enable on-tap dictionary functionality where layer appears on top of the content to display dictionary entry for the word (see Rikaikun/Rikaichan for FF/Chrome) for settings configurable duration and then disappear again. Like someone here already noted, selected text does not become unselected (in my case, selecting "Assist") and requires exiting the article and reopening it. Please address these issues, as I really really need an app like this.

Good app but it hasn't got any dictionary like other apps have. The unlock version hasn't it neither... And when you back from settings page it redirects you to a blank page.

I wanted to copy the kanji to a dictionary but the screen froze after that. I need to reopen the app again in order to use. Uninstalled

I installed, clicked on the news, waited for long time, but the video does not play at all.

Edit : Furigana is back, developer respond to users report very fast, great !

僕はあまり漢字読めないので，振り仮名付きで本当に素晴らしい。

Furigana makes reading a blast

Sometimes that function isn't available.

Keep up to date to Japan, and keep learning Japanese.

Great app to learn kanji gradually by reading the news.

Good app. Ok for me to learn japanese

good but no sound on video

Good

Not so good for a learner.

Just keep waiting

As an app for beginners a dictionary will be a great tool

It helps me with the difficult Kanjis

Great app to read news with furigana
