Reviews of Kaku

  • Fascinating!

    This app definitely lessens the waste of paper! But I found I was focusing more on trying to get the translation correct instead of writing! Well-developed regardless!! The Word Bank widget seems right up my alley for an everyday review of words I tend to forget, so I’ll absolutely be trying this new feature!

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your feedback. I find an effective way to use the translator is to only translate when you are not sure if your sentence is structured correctly rather than at the end of every sentence. I’m glad you like the widget, it took a lot of effort to work out how to implement them. But now that I have figured it out, I look forward to creating more. 🙂
  • Don’t Waste Your Time

    Fancy design but that’s about all it has going for it. Ads are everywhere which I normally would be fine with but every useful feature of the app is paywalled. The paywall, of course, is also subscription base with the lifetime purchase being $25, a ridiculous value. I can’t even use the app to decide whether or not it’s worth $25, I get berated by a pop up telling me I need to spend $25 to even see what else is in the app.

    I honestly never leave reviews but this was so appalling I had to. I understand the app is in a niche market but there are other ways to monetize your app.

    EDIT:

    Received an email from developer stating that they could provide a code to test out the app for a limited time by checking out their Twitter. Upon looking at their Twitter, I see a post by them calling me an entitled scum, how I don’t deserve to use their app, and soliciting people to report my review. Not a great look.

    As you can’t even scroll down on some tabs of the app without being told to cough up some cash I’m not sure how the developer expects someone to buy their app without even being able to access 75% of it. I hope everyone that looks at this app sincerely reconsiders their choice and looks elsewhere.
  • Awesome premium features

    I use this app on my iPad in my class all the time and really recommend upgrading to premium to access the text-to-speech, better translations/dictionary and reader mode.

    With so many language learning apps out there, this app is a hidden gem.

    Thanks for your support, I’m glad you’re getting great value out of the premium upgrade!
