app is SO buggy

constant crashes on iOS18 when trying to move on to the next character. Pretty useless for learning anything with it crashing every 4-5 characters

Keyboard disappears

I like the app but every time I change app or lock the phone and then I reopen the app, the keyboard becomes invisible: I can still type but I can’t see any character so I need to start again my session

Is there audio for this app?

On the description, it stated native pronunciation and silly me for thinking there’s audio pronunciation instead of just romaji. Not sure how that’s gonna help with pronunciation when there’s no audio help. Or am I missing something? Waste of money.

There is audio! Check the settings to enable.

An amazing tool for learning

I don’t go anywhere without this tool. It is a MUST have for learning or remembering the alphabet. This tool single-handedly taught me how to read (phonetically) Japanese.

The developers are a gift to us.
Thank you for making this.

The interface is focused and beautiful. The settings are so customizable. It’s simple and powerful. Thank you.

Thank you for the thank you, and greetings from Tokyo!

Great app, pulled a quick one tho

This app is great and very much preferred to its online counterpart, however the backgrounds shown in the pictures of the app are not accurate, as there are only 4, this however, is mentioned in the description

Some incorrect combination hiragana

In usage, the dzyo, dzya, etc were incorrectly labeled as jo, ja, etc.
I will return for refund towards correct resource

Hello! Japanese has various different romanization systems and Real Kana uses the popular Modified Hepburn system. The romanized characters match the Wikipedia pages for hiragana and katakana, for example. Note that, in modern Japanese, the pronunciation of various different characters has merged to the point of being 100% identical, so I think it’s best to follow the modified Hepburn system. For the multiple characters labeled “ja”, for example, that is indeed their correct pronunciation in contemporary Japanese. There is not even a subtle differentiation anymore. More information is here: https://realkana.com/blog/what_is_hiragana/ Cheers!

Love the app such a great and fast way to learn the alphabet

Here are some suggestions because I have a hard time changing the stuff there really isn’t a button for “settings” but other than that it’s super simple and it just works

adapted to iphone x!

Awesome app!

I originally thought this app was going to be a lot more complex than it turned out to be, and was even surprised at its simplicity. It however is an amazing app great for learning all your kana in a flashcard style.
