Migaku: Really Learn Languages

This extension may be good for people just starting to learn a language but if you are intermidiate or above there is no point. I paid for this extension specifically for the anki features which they advertised but they are so clunky and diffcult to find that it shouldnt even be called a feature. Why isnt there an anki section in the settings? Why is the homepage in the web app just advertsing the playstore app and then on the other side big chunk of writing about an update. Then in the middle a little bubble where you can paste the words you already know but if you have anki decks or any other type of flashcards thats not going to be useful. Then actually finding the option to import the deck , you need to go to the 'memory' tab in the web app (why is it called memory and not flashcards/decks? idk) whcih then takes you to the migaku study site. What is the point of a web app if one of the most useful features is not even in the web app???? Also the card creator to generate cards like i said doesnt have its own 'anki' or 'flashcards' section but is hidden in the dictionary section ? I mean honestly the web app is not a good streamlined user experience in my opinion. Lastly since i cba to write anymore the main reason why i paid for this app , creating anki decks from youtbe videos, didnt even work even though i tried multiple browser and followed all the steps, it just would not create the actual card in my anki. This might not be the fault of the extension but due to my general experience i am not going to spend anymore time to findout. Also the reason i paid for the full versin was because for some reason it would allow me to access the anki feature in the free trial?? Whats the point of putting my credit card in for a trial if i cant TRIAL one of the mian features. Anyway if you are planning to pay for this i would consider waiting and testing out the UI and general experience for a few days to see if you like it . If you are a begginer I can see how this would be helpful.

Extremely difficult to setup and use with local files. They do not work even using their converter

Very buggy on my side

If you try the example videos they suggest, then Migaku works on Youtube. If you go to any language learning content not suggested by Migaku, it doesn't work. What's the issue here? How do I know if a video on youtube is compatible with Migaku?

It crashes all the time and stops working. Very frustrating and time consuming.

This has to be worst extension out there. Its soo buggy and totally useless. Their support is non-existant and they basically stole my money. Don't waste your money here. Honestly there are tons of better options out there to learn with Netflix. Try the Language Reactor app.

The extension doesn't work. It requires login, but it thinks the password is incorrect, even though it is the same one used to login to the account on the internet browser (which works fine). This has been verified with multiple login attempts, password resets, even copied and pasted the password to ensure no typos. Whilst the internet page logs in fine, the extension doesn't.

I saw a cool Youtube video about the legacy plugin, turns out the devs removed one of the coolest feature of the original plugin in this new rollout version, which is the speed-up option of video parts that don't contain dialog. I was previously considering to pay for this, but without this feature I might as well use LanguageReactor which is free. Unless I'm wrong and the feature exists, but I couldn't find it after checking every tab on the tool. Happy to come back in the future to review this again if they add the odd features back in which made the legacy app so interesting. Edit: I'm removing yet another star, because this app is really buggy. In the beginning I was able to see pinyin above Chinese characters which is really helpful when learning Chinese, suddenly the pinyin is gone in either Netflix or Youtube, even though it's activated in the settings. Several restarts did not help. Definitely going back to LanguageReactor for now.

Seems too buggy to use properly. It only seems to work randomly. After several attempts I finally got it to work on Netflix but it immediately froze up my screen and I had to hard reset. I can't believe they are charging money for this. Baffling.

I've tried multiple browsers, unable to log into the extension on any of them, either the log in screen doesn't pop up, or it's stuck processing my login indefinitely.

Cannot input Known Words Difficulty creating new cards

Screenshot doesn't appear, audio seems to be missing or something ('cause when I play it on a flashcard It doesn't do anything, no sound), also when I hit "create card" It starts to record the whole video/movie audio lmao. I've been using this extension and legacy one for 1 year and now It doesn't work now for some reason. Please support. [Edit] Thanks for everything (I mean it). I have to mention that the problem hasn't been solved, and it's frustrating. I've been using this extension for a really long time and enjoyed it, but now I've decided to record my own media audio from various sources (Netflix, videos I already had, HBO, etc.). So, the only advice I can give is to continue with what you were doing with the Migaku legacy extension because it was the right one. I appreciate all your work, but it's no longer functioning properly, so there's no reason to keep paying for this service. I said "thanks" because Migaku Legacy and this extension helped me improve my English, Portuguese, and Russian through learning by context and sentence mining.

New Extention does not hold a candle to the previous one. I've been using Migaku for about 2 years and it's been a great card creator tool and still has similar merrits today, which I'm pleased with (to some extent). However the problem with the new extention is that it is simply missing a few key features that the legacy version still has. Migaku Reader, Migaku Video player, Updating the word count, are all the stuff that I'm able to point out that is missing. I have not a clue as to why the development team had decided to divide attention between fixing, maintaining, and updating the new browser extention and suddenly start doing language courses. I have not used the courses, but I'm confident that this is unnecissary since people have reached fluency by doing self study. The main product/idea of the extention is great, but it's recent track has gone off course. Plus in addition the pricings have gone up from 5$ per month since June of 2024. If you do decide to use Migaku (which I recommend trying at least) use the legacy extention. Type "Migaku Legacy." It will be phased out eventually but as of writing older version is a better alternative.

I really want to use this extension, but it's super buggy. If a Netflix subtitle has a long, continued sentence that started on a previous screen, Migaku doesn't recognise it as one sentence and only clips what's currently on the screen. It's annoying to go back and manually fix. I know it's a "new" feature for you guys, but please fix this. I also REALLY dislike that the Netflix subtitles have English on the top? The whole point is to immerse, not use the English as a crutch. Have never seen any language immersion website recommend that for someone that's intermediate+ so I was very surprised to see this. Please add the option to remove the english subtitles. This really isn't a lot to ask. edit: amending the part about the English subtitles because I didn't know the toolbar even existed! that was not obvious to me at all to hover there! I will leave it there and not edit it out as atonement for not seeing it.

Did you really get rid of the subtitle browser? I can't figure out how to create a flashcard for anki anymore. Went back to the legacy plugin.

Great product but that's really to buggy for the price charged (500$ life-time)

Honestly, it's the best extension for learning languages I've ever used. The design is pretty, intuitive, and they even bothered to make a whole YouTube channel explaining how to use every tool from the extension. I just find it very thoughtful. Unfortunately, I can't use the extension anymore, and I don't even know what happened. The web version doesn't open, and the app screen stays frozen loading. It's a shame because after searching for several extensions to help me with my English studies, I finally found a good and free one, but it doesn't work :(

Way too buggy for the price. I randomly cant record audio from animelon, tried it on youtube which is the same. Randomly stops working completely. Would be happy to give a better rating, when issues are being resolved

A bit expensive for something that is in active development and lacks stability and many basic functionalities.
