Great!!

Yes, as the name of the app implies, you genuinely learn all of hiragana and katakana with these apps in two hours. Four hours in total. I used these apps, and I can now fluently read hiragana and katakana fast and this was the best starting point ever. I would recommend after completing both the courses, review a hiragana/katakana chart every day, and maybe read some furigana children’s books like momotaro. Then practice writing them with correct stroke order. You can find practice pages online!

Great but the sounds stopped working!

I would give it 5 stars but I came back to my lessons in Katakana and the sound stopped working! I worked through the hiragana like a breeze, and want to continue. Has this happened to anyone else? Great app, amazing examples, another great tool to help you learn!!

MAX FOCUS

I learned katakana in sub 30 seconds with Max focus 10/10 would relentlessly grind again.

Awesome, just as good as their 2-hour hiragana

I couldn’t believe how well the hiragana one worked. This was the same. It really worked great and I can now sound out all katakana and hiragana. I read at the pace of a 4-year old, but a week ago I didn’t know where the letters started and stopped.

Going to do their course in a couple months - between my Japanese 1 and 2 classes to hopefully build vocabulary and fluency with the sentence structure.
