Review Summary
Japanese IO is praised for its effective Japanese reading support, including furigana display, translations, JLPT level info, and vocabulary tracking. It is considered efficient and helpful for language learners. On the downside, multiple users complain about the mandatory account sign-up, missing audio pronunciations, occasional issues with certain websites or pages, and concerns about background processes running post Chrome closure. Despite these cons, regular updates and responsive development are appreciated by users.

- Includes features like JLPT level and word frequency information not commonly found in similar apps.
- Allows saving kanji and vocabulary for later study with cloud synchronization.
- Efficient and accurate dictionary and vocabulary notebook functionality.
- Regular updates have fixed previous issues, improving user experience.
Cons
- Requires account sign-up to use, which frustrates some users.
- Lacks audio pronunciation for vocabulary words, which many users want.
- Sometimes does not work consistently on certain websites or requires reactivation on new pages.
- Does not work well with non-standard HTML tags and editable text fields.
- Runs a background process after closing Chrome, causing privacy or trust concerns for some users.
