formerly great; no updates, unresponsive developers

Problems:

1) nearly two years without an update
2) Facebook page posted for “beta testers” wanted on February 8; still no update or updated information. that facebook post has since been DELETED
3) it used to be a paid, now it’s free — it will become a paid service in the future

It has so much potential, but serious Japanese students can not depend on the developers. Check the timelines: they will respond to many mails in a one week stretch, then disappear for months.

The dictionary itself IS excellent, but the flashcard system uses a very poor SRS system.

I think the high reviews are coming from new users who have not realized these flaws.

I will happily change my review to five stars if these problems are addressed.
