Outstanding. Almost exactly what I needed.

I’ve made more memory progress using this app in two days than I have in two weeks using other apps and even hand writing. It’s been two days and I’m pretty sure I’ll have all of the hiragana completly down within the next 3-4. I’ll be keeping the app and training with it every day though.

The only thing it’s missing is a way to write in the characters.

That’s it.

That’s the only thing missing. Other than that, truly a 5 star app. I never rate anything 5 stars because I’m super critical and nit pick a lot. But after downloading and deleting app after app, this being almost exactly what I’ve been hunting for earns it that extra star. I love it.

THANK YOU

This app as well as the online course provided by the Japan Foundation have restored my hope in learning Japanese. I was feeling extremely overwhelmed when I sat down and came across all of the resources available but this app and the course have made it all so clear and easy to understand. I am just now starting my path of learning Japanese but am so excited and looking forward to how much I will learn!

Very effective

Simple and effective. Makes memory hooks that work well for beginners and stick. I use this in conjunction with other apps and I have much better recall. Sound isn’t working in iOS 17.4, and maybe that will get fixed (kudasai?) but that shortfall doesn’t distract much from the usefulness of this app.
