Perfect study guide- but no sound?
I love this app and the website, thank you for making this great tool! Simple and effective.

Try turning on the physical switch (the hardware sound switch). This is usually the culprit.
Loveeee!!!
I love this app for learning kana! I'm still having trouble with katakana so I use the app as a refresher. I love that it includes different typefaces so you can get used to reading and recognizing kana even with the nuanced differences of typeface (like handwriting, there's a few typefaces that mimic that). I also really love that it includes audio of the kana; putting a sound to the kana helps them stick in my head more.

Use It All The Time
Although I admit this app is a bit confusing at first, after you learn to use it you will never need another kana study aid. I am getting back into the swing of things after not studying Japanese for years and I was able to relearn Hiragana in a couple days with this app and I am picking up Katakana very quickly.

Don't spent your money
The website is fantastic but this app doesn't do what it is supposed to do. Buggy and hard to use. I can't change the background or the hard to read typeface even though I am meant to, I can't even change between katakana or hiragana. I definitely recommend just using the website instead until this has been further developed. I wish I could get my money back.

Hi! Sorry about these troubles. I just saw this review now. Please email me at info@realkana.com and I would be happy to help explain, or refund your money if we can't resolve the issues.
Great app but missing a crucial feature
Landscape mode! I use this app with an iPad Pro in conjunction with the smart keyboard, and even though it is a great app I really dont know why they didnt include this feature.
Love it!
This is the perfect way to review the kana you have learned and add to it as you learn more. It's a great way of breaking out of learning in a pattern and forcing you to recognize the character individually
Best app!
Tip: swipe at the top to see Settings button that contains Help with directions. Intuitive with beautiful, clean, crisp interface. Excellent aid to the study of the Japanese language. Look no further. Highly recommended.
Not working
Where are the directions? All I see are 3 hiragana letters that I can swipe around.
Great way to learn and refresh
It had been a while since I had used my Japanese and this application was a great and fun way to get me back up to speed.
Sugoi!
I've been using this app for years. It's great for drilling you on your hiragana and katakana when you're on the train, or during commercial breaks on TV. Easy to use, simple UI
