1.2.4
- Long-press a word to see each of its kanji: meaning, readings, and JLPT level.
- Now Playing and the karaoke lists show each song's JLPT level.
- A paused song now picks up where you stopped instead of starting over.
What’s New
Every Furioke release, newest first — new languages, playback, and reading features as they ship.
1.2.3
- New Help & FAQ in Settings, with a way to report a problem.
- Improved the information shown when Spotify playback fails.
1.2.2
- The Community shelf now shows the songs everyone plays most.
- New: the Wish Pool — vote on what we build next, or wish for something new.
1.2
- Search is now a place to browse. Before you type, you'll find curated karaoke lists — Beginner-friendly, Anime hits, Studio Ghibli songs, Japanese city pop and more — plus a Community shelf of the songs other learners save most.
- Library can be a grid. A toggle on the Library title switches between rows and a grid of covers, and pinned songs sit in their own section.
- Flashcards: filter your deck by song. When a session ends, study the same set again or review all cards.
- Settings moved to a gear on the Library title, so the tab bar is down to Library, Search and Flashcards. Help and About have their own cards.
- Fixes: curated picks no longer reshuffle right after the page opens, and losing a music provider falls back to browsing instead of stale results.
1.1.5
- The tour now ends inside a song. The last onboarding step shows what other learners are singing; tap one and it starts playing with furigana, no searching first.
- Search has a Start here list before your first search: popular first songs for learners, one tap away.
- Paste a YouTube link into Search to open that exact video.
- Sharper artwork. Covers and thumbnails load at the size they’re drawn at instead of being blown up from a tiny one.
- An empty Library now points you to Search, or to Settings when no music source is connected.
1.1.4
- Playing a line from a flashcard is reliable now. Tap play on a saved word and the song starts at that line and stops where the line ends. When a line can’t be played, it says so instead of doing nothing.
- Small interface touches, including an easier-to-hit options button in Settings.
1.1.3
- The screen stays on while you sing. No more tapping the phone awake halfway through a verse — the lyrics stay up until the song stops.
- Apple Music keeps playing when the screen locks. Lock the phone or switch apps and the song carries on instead of cutting out mid-line.
- Lyrics that aren’t time-synced now say so. Instead of a column that quietly sits still, the top explains why nothing is scrolling and offers Sync timestamps right there.
1.1.2
- Lyrics you write on the web now reach your iPhone. Add or time-sync a song's lyrics on furioke.com and they show up here on the same account — later edits follow on their own.
- Edit a song's lyrics right in the app. Fix the words, pull in a cleaner source, or tap the lines to set their timing — no trip to the web needed. Your version saves to your account and shows up on furioke.com too.
- See what other learners are singing. Search opens with trending songs — tap one to play it on your own music service.
- Word cards can grow. When an explanation runs long, drag the card taller and read everything in place.
- Lyrics keep better time. The active line follows playback more closely, especially right after you skip.
- Reading keeps getting sharper. The rōmaji row now follows the furigana, so kanji and romanization stay right.
- Smoother all around. Spotify quietly reconnects instead of sending you back through its app, and Settings has a Clear Cache button.
1.1.1
- Furioke now speaks Simplified Chinese and Korean.
- Sing on the big screen. Connect a TV or projector and the lyrics move there, huge and centered, while your phone stays the controller. A Furioke Plus feature.
- Tap repeat, then pick a start line and an end line, and that passage loops until you clear it.
- Touch and hold a word for a fuller explanation. Furioke Plus now shows how it's used, an example sentence, and a breakdown of its grammar.
- Pin your favorite songs. Just like the web, iOS now keeps pinned songs at the top of your library.
- Set the lyric text to your own size. A single control scales the whole reading surface up or down.
- Choose the color your saved words wear in the lyrics, from a curated palette.
1.1
- Korean songs are here. Turn on romaji and Hangul lyrics gain a romanized reading row you can follow by sound.
- Furioke speaks Korean now — 한국어 joins the interface languages.
