It would be really nice to have PDF support so that we could read manga using mokuro2pdf.
When you say you are looking into adding browser support do you mean that you plan to add support for going to web pages? That would actually unlock almost everything. Would really love to see that implemented.
Also proper ipad support would be great
Yes, it would take a bit more time to implement browser features, and I intend to add that as a paid feature to support its development and pay for the yearly Apple developer fees.
Yes I can add pdf kit as well, but once the browser is ready you can basically just use the web to open most files.
i would definitely pay for web access
Which additional dictionaries would you recommend, where would I get them
And how do I add them in the app?
You can find some of the bilingual dictionaries here.
I recommend sticking to the included Japanese-English dictionary plus your native language dictionary.
For monolingual dictionaries you would need to build your own from EPWING here. You might find some online by searching with entires like “daijirin yomichan”, “大辞林 yomichan”, or “monolingual dictionary”. Download at your own risk.
To add a dictionary, go to Settings > Dictionaries > Edit > “+” icon. You can select the zip file from your phone or on iCloud.
Thanks for the slide animation setting. It really helps making it feel more snappy for people like me that do a lot of queries.
Also I submitted a ticket on github. Probably you prefer them over there to keep better track.
I’m considering adding more Anki integration and flashcard features to the app.
If you use the app or plan to use the app, let me know which you would prefer.

Please, not another SRS app 
What I had in mind was more like Kindle flashcard reviews than a fullblown app, but I will focus my efforts elsewhere for now. 
I have a working concept for book highlights. Instead of simply the Kindle version of “20 people have highlighted this”, I want to allow users to add their own comments and discuss with other readers. This could be great for hard-to-understand words or sentences.
Since a lot of beginners read from the same pool of books (魔女の宅急便、コンビニ人間), this could be an important resource and source of motivation.
In regards to matching different book versions, I could implement an ISBN/book name/chapter/page matching algorithm, and that could be a discussion by itself.
Wow, this is amazing. Thank you so much for making it.
i dont really have any interest in flashcard or social media sharing stuff. i really just want a good tool that can be used for immersion. anki is already the perfect srs and the social media stuff is only a distraction. for the people who do value the social media stuff discord, twitter and reddit apps already exist. the things that matter most to me are:
full yomichan dictionary support including the esoteric stuff like frequency lists
ebook support
mokuro manga support(potentially easily solved by implementing pdf support)
browsing the web since that gives you access to pretty much everything
obviously this is just my personal opinion and since it’s your app you can work on whatever you think is important.
Not really an option in the poll, but I’d use the app and no SRS at all 
It looks much better than the early version I installed on release
It should already work with frequency lists like JLPT and VN frequency. Are there any frequency dictionaries that didn’t work for you?
The latest update added a browser to the app. It’s a $5 in-app purchase to offset the app store fees and support development.
If you can’t pay currently, you can also clone the source code and build the app for your phone. You will probably have to spend some time figuring out how to set it up.
Using the browser, you could go to an online PDF viewer for that. I will consider making a separate app for manga and PDFs in the future.
Do you mean you’d use both export features as well as built-in SRS?
O sorrry, no. I’d just use it for reading on my ipad mini. Apple trashed Apple Books in iOS 16 and Ten was flakey on TTU
I don’t do flash cards — I hate them 
I know you use an older TTU (I actually prefer the old version!) You could look into adding the Klee One font, which is popular amongst TTU users
I’ve been testing this out for a while now and find perfect for a quick lookup whilst reading on my phone. Admittedly I don’t see the need for a browser as I mainly just use this for books, but thank you for the continued support and work on this. It’s completely replaced my Kindle on my commute 
I only have one gripe and its whether the app will be scaled properly for each iOS device, (sorry not quite sure the right terms to use here), as currently, on IPhone 12 Mini it has black bars at the top and bottom, and is not full screen. I’m unsure how this looks on other devices, but thought I’d ask! 
That’s awesome1
The top black bar is a result of the phone’s notch. If the app goes “full screen”, then part of the text will be hidden behind the notch, and there isn’t any easy way to wrap text for certain parts of the screen.
Regarding the bottom bar, I guess you are referring to the navigation menu? I plan to remove that eventually when a vocabulary list viewer is available on the reader itself. That will take some time though!
Until that happens, how about a notification to remind you to enter the app every 5 days? Sometimes I go on a longer streak reading on another device and it would be a bummer to get the books lost.
I just started trying this out today, and really like the simplicity so far. Only requests i have so far would be a full screen mode. My other issues had to do with Anki Dojo, which I mentioned in another thread.
I think it will be much faster for me to migrate the web database into the app to solve that issue than to set up a notification system.
Yes that is planned. I will probably add a full screen mode in settings for now, but I intend to make it the default behavior when vocabulary lists and other features are accessible from within the reader.
Thank you! I can come up with various tiny things to request, but fundamentally, this is just about perfect. Simple and quick to look up and save words with sentence context.
But… tiny requests below anyway
Is it possible to have a setting to keep the screen from dimming (override the os setting, like video apps do)?
Also, I find it difficult to to tap the word I want to look up accurately. It seems to want me to tap slightly above the first character. This isn’t a big deal, since the tabbed thing on the lookup bit is so well-implemented, but the initial lookup could be refined slightly. Or maybe it’s just me.
