Confusing User Interface - Not all that useful.
Whoever wrote this didn't really seem interested in making it useful. There is no way to select cards for your review based on your current progress in Genki. Instead, one picks sets that cuts across material in more than one chapter. Also, when it comes time to check your answer, it gives you the verb ending, which is half the answer. My feeling about this app is that currently it is not of any use at all and when it might be usable I won't need it anymore.

Fantastic app, highly recommended!
Not bad, recommended if you use Genki Textbook
Good extension to learn on the go if you have/use a Genki Textbook from school.
App sometimes crashes, but other than that, I actually understand some convenient grammar usage from this!

Needs fixes
App is okay but constantly freezes and has to be restarted. Some of the tutorial images are missing or intentionally left blank. Cant add new words or turn off kanji readings above words. Would like to be able to turn off hints when checking also, makes testing pointless when they give you the answer above the question -.-

γγγ!! Excellent app to help with your Nihongo studies
I am really impressed with this app, if you are using an Iphone/Ipad and studying Japanese this is really a help. If you are using the Genki book series, this is a MUST HAVE app. Unless you are a savant at studying Japanese...and I know I'm not...you know that one of the big hurdles of becoming proficient at Japanese is mastery of verb (and adjective) conjugation. I wish I had this app a year ago when I started with Genki, but even with a year into Genki I'm already thrilled with the app.
Looks great on both iPhone (I'm using the 6) and iPad. Hats off to the UX design group, it's an easy to use app. Essentially following the verb/adjective conjugation order as presented in the Genki 1 and 2 texts, you have these main ways to use the app:
1) "Menu" option gives you two main ways to use flashcards. It also lets you create you own set of flashcards. This is huge IMHO. I've used several other flashcard programs, and unless you manually edit the deck you're often stuck with the total collection of flashcards to study with. This app allows you to choose verbs/adjectives from each chapter. Choose one, choose many, choose all...it's up to you.
Once you have selected your deck,you can either A) review it, or B) study it through a standard Question, you provide the answer. Each review card is well designed, has audio/example/rule description, and Kanji with furigana conjugated word.
2) Use an alphabetical LIST of the verbs/adjectives to study
3) Review the RULES of the conjugations
Other items of note:
Audio pronuciation, example sentences and translation, and you enter in your answers in Japanese! This last feature is great, they show you the easy way to add in a Japanese keyboard into your iphone/ipad (dead simple to do). You really should be using less and less Romajii, and this app helps you do this too.
As you can tell, I'm very impressed with this app. I'd also recommend the Genki Vocab and Kanji apps too. I could have saved myself lots of $$'s when I started with Genki had I know about these three apps by The Japan Times. I'm not associated with these apps, just a delighted student of Nihongo. Well done!

very impressed
Like many people studying Japanese, Iβve bought a ton of apps. This one has surprised me. Itβs quite good, excellent for what it is advertised for.
Well done.
Well done.
