User Reviews

Overall, the add-on is widely praised as a valuable learning tool that’s easy to use. Reviewers highlight its hover dictionary and kanji decomposition as key strengths, making it a solid aid for building vocabulary. However, reliability concerns exist for some users, and the lack of a monolingual dictionary is noted. Requests for improvements include copying kana with romaji and adding furigana on hover. Despite these caveats, sentiment across reviews remains positive.
