Today's update is focused on making sure your settings are respected.

There's not much to get into, so let's get to it.

Bug Fixes

  • Kana mnemonics now appropriately hide in lessons if you have them turned off
  • Furigana now hides in lessons, dialogues, and in the verb conjugator if you have it turned off
  • Highlights now turn off in lessons if you have them turned off
  • Fixed an issue where the kana mnemonic, highlight, and furigana settings could exist in inconsistent states under certain circumstances

Audio Changes

  • Tweaked the perceived loudness of the audio across the website to bring it more inline with other services
