Really cool

Takes a few of my favorite learning methods and combines them into one app. Especially, features I would expect in other apps, but just aren't. Simple stuff, like curating a bunch of progressively harder native material (starting from Yotsuba to stuff like One Piece), with built-in "Anki" decks for all of it. Things I could hypothetically do myself, but really appreciate not having to. Anyway, it might not feel like a game (think: Duolingo) - but it does feel like I'm learning, which makes me happy.

Excellent Japanese Learning App

I recently came from Jalup and started using this app. I am very impressed - the interface is simple and intuitive, and the spaced repetition system works much better to prevent getting overwhelmed with reviews as you get deeper into the sentence packs. The developer, Chris, was super helpful in answering some questions I had about importing my Jalup progress and getting me switched over from the legacy app. I am currently using this Lessons app for kana and sentence packs in combination with Nihongo Pro for Kanji / Vocab. Great combo, and it helps that the card interface is the same with the simple swipe gestures in both apps. I highly recommend you give these apps a trial run to see if they suit your learning style and goals!

Excellent for learning Japanese

This, combined with the developer’s other app Nihongo, is the perfect companion for learning Japanese at my own pace. Easy 5 stars!

Awful sentences.

Most of the content in this app is so repeated and not varied enough to warrant the price. I'd like a refund on it to be fair as the quality of the content is not justifiable.

Better than iPhone keyboard

JALUP lives on

Thank you for saving this, it is some of the best Japanese learning content out there. Instantly bought the full set. Clean and snappy interface as well.

Do you have a timeline/ballpark for when kanji will be added?

Thanks, so glad you're liking the updates! I'm honestly super embarrassed it's taken me this long to get the kanji content in, but I'm trying to do something new and pretty different from the Kanji Kingdom content (and honestly any other kanji learning content I've seen), and use the etymology of each character to inform how I teach them. I'm getting the etymological data ready now, which will first come out in a Nihongo dictionary release, hopefully in the next month. Then I'll build that into the Nihongo Lessons content, with a ballpark release date of this summer.

Clunky interface

The interface pales in comparison with Bunpro for grammar. Only positive is the writing practice for Kana. Otherwise I use Nihongo flascards for Kanji writing practice, but I use WaniKani to learn them.

Appreciate the feedback, I'll keep working on improving the interface for grammar. It's early days for this app! If you have any specific aspects of Bunpro you really like, I'd love to hear about them. Feel free to reach out at chris@nihongo-app.com.

This app will be the anchor of your Japanese studies

The best source for true I+1 comprehensible input Japanese cards out there, with a sleek modern interface and amazing dictionary integration! A fantastic update to the JALUP decks. Add this to your Japanese studies-don’t skip any days-and you won’t regret it!

Great so far

I just found out about JALUP and am so glad that someone is maintaining the project. No problems with the app so far and I’m excited to see how you grow this project moving forward!
