I'd downloaded your app some time ago, but I guess it didn't really stand out to me amongst the other learning apps. Adding anki integration, however, is a huge deal to me. That already puts it a step ahead of stuff like Easy Japanese.

I would say, some of the ui elements are broken on an iPhone 13 mini. With the anki creation dialog (with the listing of all the features), the button that I'm assuming was the confirm button was off screen and couldn't be scrolled to.

Also, if you don't take action on a specific kanji, it will remove the furigana as if it's "known." This seems a bit counter-intuitive to me. If I don't take any action on it, I feel like it should return to its original state.

I've also had the lower drawer (?) disappear entirely never to return. In the sentences tab, when I press the "translate" button it begins rendering the webpage then turns into a blank screen; I have to open it in the default browser to see it. In some cases the "open in default browser" button also disappears.

When I have some more time I'll definitely be diving into this app more. Despite the bugs, it might have enough value adds to considering paying for it. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the bug reports! And glad the app finally stands out for you ;) I'll re-test on iPhone 13 mini dimensions for correct layout and will ensure it works properly.

For the furigana, you can configure this behavior in the reader settings - whether it hides furigana from familiar words (ones you've marked as read or looked up), or only words you are learning in flashcards, or to always hide or show them. Maybe the "only when learning in flashcards" setting is a better default? I've made that change for the next update.

The lower drawer was implemented in a strange way because of a SwiftUI limitation. I've found a solution and will reimplement this to prevent this class of error from recurring. The translation function someone else reported here, I will fix as well.

Please keep the feedback coming. You can reach me on twitter or email or chat.
