Yomu Yomu – Read Japanese 日本語

This app has great reading content and a sensible approach to progress tracking. There is a button to turn off Furigana but also, it gets turned off automatically as I progress. The free version does not lock content (I think). One small thing that can be improved. I would prefer having full sentence translation turned off by default as an option, as I like looking up words before “giving up” (also wouldn’t this help progress tracking?) - Overall strongly recommended alongside any course or Flashcard method.

Great App for Beginners and Intermediate learners. Content a bit too easy for Advanced or Fluent level in my opinion(needs harder content like 夏目漱石 level content or novels (maybe 短編/short story versions), not just children stories like 浦島太郎, but I’ve been fluent for 15+ years so I’m a bit biased. I wouldn’t really consider N2 level to be “Master” level stuff , but the app has a ton of potential!

I’m currently at an N2 reading level. Since leaving Japan, I’ve been hoping to find ways to keep up my Japanese language skill. This app has been such a blessed find! The content is stuff I actually care to read, so it doesn’t feel like effort to study. Love that you can save words to review with in-app flashcards, too! Can’t say enough good things. Really hope this app gets more attention and resources dedicated to it. Keep it up! ☺️

Good for reading practice but since other fonts are locked behind a paywall, be ready for some incorrect kanji and a font that is closer to mandarin standard font compared to Japanese standard font. For many beginners, this might be a problem, as they may not be able to read the mandarin style font for certain kanji. Just be wary of that if you’re going to make this your primary source of reading material!

I’ve been studying Japanese for over 2 years and am into reading (読書). This app is hands down the best tool for improving reading and comprehension. Perfect story narration, dictionary lookup, built in SRS with Anki export- all 100% free. I am blown away at how unpopular this app is. My only feedback: add more stories. 11/10 recommend
