Japanese by Anime! Kanji, Kana

September 12, 2024

Minna-san, drumroll please... streaks are finally here! Unlock a shiny new image every day as you build a lifelong learning habit towards fluency. I can't wait to see how high you get your streak! With this update, we’ve also squashed a critical bug related to scheduling of reviews. It is highly recommended you update to prevent any crashes/bugs. I know that our little app isn't perfect but I promise you the team is working their butts off every day to make it better for you! Related to reviews, we’ve heard you loud and clear—those unwanted reviews popping up have been wasting your time. This is your app, you should be in control! Now you can suspend cards so that they stop showing up in your reviews. Just tap the new options button (it looks like this: ...) at the top right during your review session and follow the instructions from there. This is just a quick fix for now while the team works on larger revamps to make the review process smoother and more efficient. Stay tuned! If you’re loving the app, we’d really appreciate an honest review—it gives us a massive boost in motivation to keep making the app better for you! We’re a small team, so your feedback really goes a long way in shaping the future of Japanese by Anime. If you've got something to say, speak now or forever hold your peace! P.S: Who else is excited for the upcoming Ruby arc? Ahhh~~ I can't wait! Until next time! - Emi (｡- ω -)"

Hi everyone, I’ve got a new update for you~ So, someone *might* have accidentally introduced a bug in the last version that kept you from viewing your hard-earned cards in their full glory. Don’t worry, the person responsible has been “disciplined” accordingly (¬‿¬) Anyway, sorry for the hiccup, but now you can tap on your cards in the collection and view them again—just like they deserve to be seen. We also fixed a few translations that were a bit confusing. Turns out, clipping 2 seconds from an entire scene sometimes leaves out some crucial context. We’re working on making sure this doesn’t happen in future levels, but hey, if you spot anything off, let me know! I won’t bite… probably. If you’re loving the app, we’d really appreciate a review! It gives our team a big boost in motivation (mostly me~) and lets us know we’re on the right track. Until next time! - Emi (｡- ω -)

Hi everyone, I have an exciting new update for you~ You asked, and we listened: now you can jump straight to any level you want! Intermediate learners, no more slogging through the kana—you can dive right into the juicy new words. And if you’re feeling competitive, you can revisit previous levels and try to beat your high score. We know navigating through all the levels was a bit of a chore, so we’ve added a shiny new region picker at the top of your home screen. Now you can hop between regions with ease—no more endless scrolling! Plus, we’ve added a handy button on your home screen that lets you quickly peek at each level’s content so you can find out what you’ll be learning at a glance. That’s it for the big stuff! We’ve also tackled a few pesky bugs: - Exiting a level before making progress won’t nag you for confirmation anymore. - Definitions clipping off the screen on some devices? Fixed! - Those annoying buggy video clips? Should be all good now. If you’re loving the app, we’d really appreciate a review! It gives our team a serious boost in motivation and lets us know we're on the right track. Until next time! - Emi (｡- ω -)

Hi everyone! I'm very excited to share that we've added 6 brand-new regions to the app. My personal favorite is the outer-space-themed region with flying rocket ships and spinning black holes~ As a part of these new regions, 186 new levels have been added, meaning there are a total of 744 new words for you to learn. As always, each word will contain multiple examples from Anime to help you contextualize your learning. Other changes include: - Furigana has been fixed for word levels. You can now see the correct hiragana above each Japanese word. - A toggle has been added to settings so that you can enable/disable the audio that plays after every correct answer during a level. Please stay tuned, as the team is working on updating the flow so you can freely skip around to different levels instead of being locked onto one path. We know this is a highly requested feature and are working hard to get it out to you ASAP! If you are enjoying using the app, please consider leaving a review as it has a huge impact on the team's motivational levels. - Emi (｡- ω -)

Hi everyone, there was a critical bug in the previous version that allows you to skip ahead in levels. Although this is a planned future feature, it was not intended to be available yet. This is resolved in this version and it is highly recommended you update otherwise you might run into bugs/crashes. We're very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. - Emi (｡- ω -)
