## Review summary

Users praise Gappon’s bilingual layout (English/Japanese with furigana) and learner-friendly features, including audio and broad scripture content. Repeated requests focus on turning off furigana, adding dictionary integration, highlighting/notes, and expanding content. Overall positive with actionable feature requests.

### Pros

- Bilingual side-by-side English and Japanese with furigana, making reading and comparison easy.
- Furigana is available on kanji, helping learners with pronunciation and meaning.
- Easy-to-use, well-laid-out interface that supports studying and classroom use.
- Audio/text-to-speech support enhances learning when listening to verses.

### Cons

- Furigana can be distracting for some users; a toggle to turn it off is requested by multiple reviewers.
- Lack of built-in dictionary lookup or easy word-suggestion/export to external dictionary programs; users want tap-to-lookup or vocabulary export.
- Missing features like highlighting/notations (no highlighting or notes) are noted by some reviewers.
- Audio playback can be affected by device settings (e.g., silent mode)
- Desire for more books/content and additional resources in the app.
