Scam
Very sneaky monetization. Apparently I just paid for a 1 year subscription. There's barely any words and no context and they couldn't even bother to get a real person to pronounce the words. 80 bucks for this app is hilarious.
I'm getting 1000x more value using ChatGPT for grammar/vocabulary/ example sentences in kanji, hiragana, and Romaji and Google Translate for pronunciation. Also Anki for study decks. These are all free btw

Mostly fine if you want to learn new vocabulary with SRS. The big problem it has is that there are multiple ways to write a certain word or phrase, and often the app will hear what you said correctly, but incorrectly write a different phrase that is pronounced the same or similarly pronounced. This means it considers your word choice to be incorrect even though you are saying the same thing in the same way as the example. For example the app may present you with a phrase written with the appropriate kanji to speak. When the phrase is spoken into the app, the voice recognition decides to write what you said in hiragana without converting any of it to the proper kanji. So even though you said the correct thing, the hiragana is not the same exact text as the kanji and so it fails you for being “incorrect”.Developer Response

Another thing I noticed is that there’s a distinct lack of voice samples from media clips as they show in their advertisements. The only voice samples they have that I’ve seen are the robotic text to speech voices. Maybe I haven’t made it far enough to see those clips.
