Awesome app to use! However, it is missing at least 1 important aspect, a major issue that keeps it from getting 5 stars... The major issue is does not have Japanese as a option for languages. Why? What if I want to immerse myself in the Japanese language and learn the specifics. What about the lesson section? It is more of a output method to approaching Japanese but helps more after the immersion (aka input method) process that the app itself lacks. Other issues is unable to turn off captions.

Good news coverage, but bizzarely the share icon only takes you to a page explaining sharing. It doesn't give you a link to share the story with! Only the Facebook, X, and Line buttons work as expected. That leaves out an awful lot of apps. Just give me a link to share in any app, please.

Excellent unbiased news, from Japan and across the globe. I'd like to also praise the app developers for fixing a bug where the app crashed upon opening.
