Major Updates
- Real Human Audio - Over 10,000 word entries now have pronunciation audio with native Japanese speakers.
Other Improvements
- When the "Attach Photo" option is available on a word entry, and the word entry already has a photo attached, a badge will now appear indicating the number of words attached. This badge is tappable to view the existing photos attached to the word.
- If a word has multiple photos attached to it, a badge will now appear on the photo when it appears in a flashcard, indicating the number of additional photos that are attached.
- The size of dictionary entry popovers on iPad has been increased, so that the layout matches that of modern-sized iPhones.
- Tapping on a Nihongo flashcard deck file in another app will now open Nihongo immediately, without the need to explicitly select Nihongo in a share sheet.
- Flashcards in your review deck will now be shuffled starting at level 1, instead of level 3. During level 1, flashcards will only be shuffled within the same day, but starting level 2 they may spread to other days.
- The shuffling spread has been reduced from 50% to 25%. In other words, previously a flashcard that was designated to become due in 30 days would actually become due somewhere in 30-45 days. Now it will become due in 30-37 days.
- Improved error messages when unable to connect to the internet to perform OCR.
Bug Fixes

- Fixed an issue where "Check Stroke Order", "Replay", and "Guide Me" buttons would inappropriately appear on the frontside of a flaschard, if you flipped a kanji flashcard from back to front while one of those animations was playing.
- Removed archaic form サ行変格 from part of speech label.
- Fixed an issue when multitasking on iPad, where transitioning from a compact size to a regular size while on a view that should be displayed in a popover on iPad, would cause the view to be pushed onto the navigation stack on iPad instead of displaying as a popover.

- Fixed issue where resizing OCR view (such as changing multitasking size on iPad, or resizing window on Mac), would cause any active popovers to point at the wrong location.
- Fixed issue where transitioning to a regular size from a compact size on OCR screen on iPad would cause the OCR view to be split onto the right side of the screen.
