It is a great app that does what it says, very simple to set up and use, thanks a lot to the developers ❤️

Really good, accurate, love that it also gives HSK levels of vocab. Zhongwen on Chrome is great but I am trying to use safari for battery benefits so this is a delight.

Excellent, high quality extension for reading Chinese. Same functionality as the 10ten extension and just as polished. Highly recommend this
