## Review summary

Overall, users praise the app for rich, contextual content with extensive grammar examples and sentences using kana and kanji, plus clear audio pronunciation. They also value the word-of-the-day feature, the ability to save words to study lists, and the handy UI/widget/browser add-on. However, recurring issues appear across reviews: romaji visibility is hard to hide, notifications can be unreliable or stale, and the word-of-the-day can be inaccurate or repetitive. Users report glitches or ad overlays interfering with use. Some wonder whether paying to remove ads offers enough value.
