Very good but please change one thing

I want to do rapid multiple flashcard drills, but the feedback of correct or incorrect is a color and then it goes to next card. I am color blind, so this does not work for me. A suggestions is to have a sound for positive and negative and include an option to not move on until you have selected the correct one. This is crucial for positive reinforcement. When selecting correct answer along with a positive sound, it rewards the brain and implants it into long term memory.

Glitch

It seems like a great idea, but I can’t do anything on this app. After five or six flash cards the screen goes white and a small, vertical line appears. No matter if I swipe left, right, down nothing happens.

Great App!

This is a no nonsense, if I want to practice that’s what it does. No fluf. Suzano

Utilitarian – Does exactly what it advertises and does it well

There are other Japanese language learning apps/tech/tools out there.

There are other flashcard apps. Most other apps try to cram in as many features as possible to make it a one-stop shop.

When I searched "Katakana flashcards" I had one specific purpose in mind: finding a simple app to quiz me on memorizing these characters and nothing more.

This app does what it says. It's very simple. Flashcards don't need to be complex. It serves its function well. Worth the $1 or $2.

The best tool for memorizing these

I’ve tried them all and this is the best tool for learning hiragana and katakana. Be sure to double-click the English half of the screen to hide it, and then just rest your finger in that area to peek at the answer. Swipe forward if you guess it, backward to go back, and swipe down if you get it wrong. You can select which cards to review. If you build up by 2 or 3 cards at a time, learning will be both certain and painless.
