  • Works great!

    Everyone is different and learns in their own way. For me, I have found this app works well to study and remember all of the characters.
  • Auto play doesn't work in this or the Katakana app

    Some update must've screw things up. It used to be you would put it on autoplay and it would go through all the Hiragana automatically. I tried to re-download it, but it doesn't anymore. So annoying.
  • I memorized all 46 hiragana in one night!

    I have a very visual-based memory, and this style of learning just clicked. I’ve tried using other language learning apps and sites in the past but always had problems memorizing the characters. I’ll continue to take the quizzes until I don’t have to think when I see the characters. Thank you for such a simple yet effective tool.

  • Just not as good as anything else out there.

    The app is functional but doesn’t have the finesse to make itself worthwhile. Why pay when there are free charts and apps that are almost identical or better. The descriptions also use words that don’t match either the letters or the sounds and can be pretty confusing. For る, Russian and rubies are words used to describe but it only sounds like rubies, so why confuse the learner. This happens throughout.
    And then the UI is pretty hard to flick between different parts, and only self checking for errors makes this app pretty weak compared to its competitors. Definitely overpriced.

  • Awesome! But I think there’s a bug w the full version

    So helpful!! Makes it easy to get the hang of it, but the reading phrase practice quiz I think is buggy, every time I try to select a phrase the app crashes, would be complete five stars if this was fixed and didn’t have to restart everytime a learning session is selection, would be cool to have a “shuffle” option for everything!!

  • Good

    At the beginning it wasn’t working but then the next day the apps started to work. And it’s very helpful so far it’s good
  • This is a big help for beginners

    I just started learning Japanese and the association make learning letters SOOOO much easier. Excited to continue learning!
  • I payed for it and I couldn’t do anything

    I payed for this app excited that I could start learning Japanese better. I was wrong. I opened the app and it said, download the app please, so basically, I payed for it, opened it, and cant do anything. So i wasted my time trying to learn Japanese by spending my money to be told "download the app please". Such a waste of my money. Don't buy unless you want to be disappointed that you cant do anything. This is such cap. 👎🏽

  • Good but…

    When you’re listening to music and try to do quizzes it stops your music even if you mute sounds in the app. The features to practice writing could be better. Some of the flash cards don’t have the full strokes of the characters so it makes it a little hard to use that for writing practice.
  • Great app.

    What a great learning system. I learned Hiragana in 15 hours. I ended up downloading a free quiz app and bounced back and forth between the two apps.
