User Reviews

Overall, users like Simple Furigana for its simplicity and usefulness as a learning aid, and appreciate the automatic furigana feature and free access. However, the app struggles with accurate furigana across many kanji and phrases, causing several misreadings. Some users also report reliability problems, including crashes and closures, with ads contributing to interruptions. Users would benefit from more reliable readings and improved stability, along with optional enhancements for fine-grained furigana editing in future updates.

Pros

Simple and easy-to-use furigana tool that helps reading Japanese.
Useful for learners; praised as brilliant and simple.
Automatically pastes copied text into furigana, streamlining workflow.
Free to use.

Cons

Inaccurate or inconsistent furigana readings for many kanji and phrases (e.g., 何 read as nan, 図書館 misread, 良い言葉 misread, 愛しさ splitting).
Stability issues: frequent crashes and closures, sometimes worsened by ads.

The only gripe I have with this app is that it doesn’t recognize kanji words more then two when I try click on them or highlight them. Examples such as 錬金術師 = Alchemist or 店舗経営 = Store management. Other then that it’s pretty solid
