This is an app for people who have intermediate level japanese on their way to advanced level. At first, I thought the whole magazine would come with audio. After paying for one magazine, I've found out that the magazine is mostly without audio. It was about 10 pages out of 55 pages that came with audio. The app itself comes with plenty of articles with audio for free and the reason someone would pay for this is to get the newest magazine and its archives which does not have a search function.

Sorry, but i've tried for 2 days to create an account and buy a subscription. I simply can't pass Setting the password step. It throws the backend error. So the password is not set. "Forgot your password" sends the link to email. The mail says that the link is valid for 24h. On the first try it is expired. And submisson of the Password/Repeat password throws the same error. The initiation of the "Forgot" flow again leads to the same problems. I'm in a loop. Tried several emails. It's sad..

I love this app. It's so difficult to find bilingual materials where the Japanese and the English are both well-written. All of the content is relevant and interesting which is not the case with a lot of other newspaper apps in the Google Play store. The app runs smoothly and all of the images, kanji and furigana are clear. I downloaded this app to help with my JLPT studies, but I find I'm enjoying it as well.
