About this app

Developer Description

Japanese reading and listening practice at just the right level.

Ready to take your Japanese reading and listening comprehension to the next level? Welcome to Satori Reader.

HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES
Read from a growing library of articles written by native speakers for intermediate students, organized into interesting series such as news, stories, dialogs, and more.

AUDIO
Tap any sentence to hear it read aloud by native voice actors (no robots!).

ADAPTIVE KANJI USAGE
Crack the chicken-and-egg problem of reading kanji with our unique presentation engine, which adjusts the Japanese text to accommodate your actual knowledge. This allows you to challenge yourself for the kanji you should know without being overwhelmed by what you don't.

SMART DEFINITIONS
Tap any word for a definition. This is more than just an automated lookup. Satori Reader shows the actual sense of each word as it's being used in the sentence. For example, the particle の has many uses: it can indicate possession; it can turn the preceding verb or phrase into a noun; it can stand in for another word; and more. We show you exactly what is happening in every instance of every word.

FRIENDLY ANNOTATIONS
Gray underlines indicate longer annotations that break down tricky expressions, provide cultural background, or help you to read between the lines. Our editors work hard to anticipate what might be confusing and proactively help you to make sense of things. Good-bye, confusion. Hello, clarity!

SPACED REPETITION SYSTEM (SRS)
Create review cards instantly as you read. Later, review them using the built-in spaced repetition system. Each card you create takes along a snapshot of the sentence in which you encountered the word. You can even listen to the audio for those sentences during reviews to further cement the word into memory.

HUMAN FEEDBACK
Still confused about something? Just ask in the comment section below each article. Knowledgeable staff are ready to help.

Satori Reader is built by a team that cares. Our goal is to bring satori (enlightenment) into your Japanese reading life. Set up a free account today, and let's get started.

I've only been a subscriber for one day, but this is probably the best app for learning Japanese there is. I've been looking for an app where a story is read to you slowly, and struggled finding one, but stumbled upon this, which comes with so much more than just the story. Definitions, explanations, great voice acting. This tool will likely prove invaluable. Recommendation: get through genki 1 and 2, then subscribe to satori reader. Edit: sub for 6 months now. Perfect app for reading/listening

Overall, it's an excellent, well-made app. The topics of the ongoing series are not the most interesting for me (I prefer history, literature, fine arts etc). There should be "mark as completed' option because the app doesn't always recognise fully finished episodes (status doesn't change from 'started').

The app is sub-par compared to the website. It really needs an option to change the font size.

The core functionality of the app is incredible but this might be the worst UI I've ever used. The entire user flow and UX needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. It's absolutely terrible to use, feels like it was made by a first year high school student for a project
