Leave a Review Learn Japanese!!
Great app!
Great for revision and refreshing your memory and a great alternative to physical flash cards. App works great and I have only noticed a few bugs when working on stroke order using your finger to write the character but should be fixed in no time.HARM3Z
Perfect!
Great app! Works well with my style of learning, and the best by far of several apps I tried. Would recommend people give it a try.
Only issue has been trying to use the feedback in app. Would like to be able to reset each level. Tried all of them before purchasing, and after learning Hiragana and Katakana, I’ve forgotten all the stuff I did with level three several weeks ago!
Am looking forward to trying the Kanji!! App. :)Show lessCadius76
Would seriously recommend
As the title says, I recommend downloading this app. The one feature I like about this app is the ability to test you on how you write your hiragana and katakana. It is a very useful feature that can help in learning Japanese especially when stroke is a major importance when learning Japanese. I don’t see this feature often in an app, so that is a plus.
The one issue that I have with this app so far is that I had a problem writing あ a couple times even though I was sure to have wrote it correctly. It is only that character that I am having problems writing.
Other than that, good app, and I hope to see more added to this app. The upgrade is worth it.Show lessUm0nkun
Awesome for beginning Japanese
Have been searching around for app to learn Japanese and this is the best one I've found. It teaches you how to write the characters correctly, instead of only reading all the time. I've found this extremely helpful for remembering the characters. You get a few free lessons, then pay to open up the rest, but it's inexpensive and I've found it's worth it. You can trial each section of learning before paying, so you know what you're getting when you open up the rest. Great app.Show lessXzols
Great app, but lots of bugs...
EDIT: The developer released an update today! I haven’t tested it yet, but I’m upping this review to 4 stars (original review was 3 stars) because I appreciate the developer’s responsiveness. I’ll bump up to 5 if I notice things have improved
Original:
I’m halfway through the hiragana lessons, and I’m liking this app so far, esp the writing part. However, even during my short use, the app has crashed several times, and there have been many bugs. Scrolling sometimes doesn’t work, the “review past due” button disappears, even when there are things to review, and the multiple choice sometimes bugs out and repeats the same question but with the wrong answers hidden... These are annoying, but the content is so good, so 3 starsShow lessFan3847202039
Absolutely brilliant
Okay, so the idea of learning Japanese - as a native English speaker - was absolutely terrifying, but this app makes everything SO much simpler. I’ve been using it for a month and already I know half of hiragana off by heart and I’ve only been using it 3-4 times per week. It breaks down huge pieces of information into tiny chunks and just tests you on those, and when you’re confident enough with one set, you can move onto the next set at your own pace and test yourself at any time. If there was one thing I could think of to improve it then it would be the font of the letters. Obviously I’m no expert but I found it a little hard to sometimes make them out when I compare them to how the symbols appear in text on my phone/in other Japanese handwriting. It just seems a little too fancy for amateurs, but other than that I really have no complains. It’s excellent.

Perfect for beginners but...
As the title says, it’s a great app for beginners who just started to learn the Japanese language. It provides most of the necessary grammar and words to converse with your Japanese friends. It also serve as a good refresher for those who learned the language but did not practice it on a daily basis such as myself. In less than 2 weeks of finishing the lessons, I would say it reminded me about 60% of what I learned from my Japanese courses back in University.
However, I also expected more from this app to be bug free and have more lessons. Specifically speaking, sometimes I notice the voice to say something unrelated to what I had correctly constructed my sentence (usually the sentence construction right after the example step). I also notice a few of the grammar to not have the correct choice of Japanese words to be picked up from to form the correct sentence.
In terms of lessons, I was expecting there to be lessons on past affirmative and negative tenses to teach beginners how to say stuff like “I ate pie last Wednesday” or “I did not had apple last weekend” and so on. Also, to have lessons about thoughts like “I think that is a great idea” would also seem beneficial.
Hopefully these changes would be fix in the next update with additional content with no extra charges.Show lessRedEqX
Great Introduction to Japanese
I am overall extremely happy with this app. The layout is very user-friendly and encouraging, and the pacing is nice as it gives you full and rather useful sentences early on. That being said, this is not a course that will get you to be sufficient by any means, and I would use it just as a starting point for people who want to seriously study the language.
I already know hiragana and katakana, so I skipped over those lessons, but I don’t think they would take long for people who are starting from scratch. I plan to finish parts 3-6 by the end of the month, and then I will start Genki I and the rest of that series. I have no doubt that the knowledge I gained from this app will help me understand Genki and get through it more quickly.
Thanks to the developer of this app! You really hit it out of the park.Show lessHenryawright
Best app for learning or reviewing Japanese
I studied Japanese in college about 25 years ago and am trying to relearn it now. I've downloaded lots of apps and this one is by far the best I've found. I paid for the upgrade, and it was so worth the money. I've been able to review the kana and grammar, plus learn some more kanji along the way. It's made me realize that I remember more than I thought I did, in addition to building a stronger foundation for further study. I highly recommend this app for those who want to refresh their knowledge (since I already knew some Japanese, I can't speak to how well it would,work for a complete beginner, but for my purposes it's perfect.) if it only had stroke order & the ability to practice writing it would be perfect!Show lesskheitl
Simply Amazing
I can't say enough how I think this is one of the best apps out there for learning Japanese. Get you engaged, knows your weak skills and helps to improve them. Definitely recommend!
Edit* I love to give praises where it's due, but I don't want to give the developers reason to believe there is not room for improvement. So (1) Since it's already multiple choice, 3 of the choices should not remain the same when giving a new question. (2) I do think there should be a font change option, helps us to get familiar with different fonts as well as recognize differences between them. Hope they consider some of these changes!Show lessPokaGuy
