### 5/5 — The best app to learn grammer

*2026-08-25, version 3.20.0*

When I first started learning Japanese I had the right resources to learn vocabulary and kanji but I was struggling with learning grammer I kept blowing money on apps but it didn’t help I was recommended bunpo and I use bunpo every day amazing app it explains every detail

### 5/5 — l love this

*2026-08-24, version 3.20.0*

Bunpo teaches you vocabulary and teaches you how to write in Japanese

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-08-20, version 3.20.0*

Awesome app

### 3/5 — Fun and helpful but… $$

*2026-08-18, version 3.20.0*

It seems like most of the features I’ve heard about and was excited to use cost money or the platinum subscription. I really wanted to video call to improve my Korean because I’ve seen people online do it and i was excited to try it out, however i was disappointed when i learned this app is more of a “pay to win” type of app. I wish we could learn languages for free, but obviously not in this economy.

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2026-08-16, version 3.20.0*

perfect app to learn a language, you actually learn sentence structure and grammar instead of just adjectives

### 5/5 — Nj

*2026-08-15, version 3.20.0*

Very good my family and friend recommend people who want to learn Korea quicker!!👍👍

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-08-09, version 3.20.0*

Do not let you cancel your subscription, takes weeks to respond via email and only offer for you to check the FAQ which states go to your Apple Store subscriptions to cancel there, however Bunpo is not there nor has it been for the past three months and yet they are still charging me

### 2/5 — Lesson Paywall

*2026-08-09, version 3.20.0*

It’s a great app! Really enjoyed the few free Hiragana lessons but the paywall is annoying. I would happily pay for the mythical Plus/Plus Lifetime ($39) but the Platinum ($79) option is the only one that i can find anywhere and I’m not interested in the AI features. I don’t know if this is an iOS thing (recommended this app to a friend before i realized the lessons weren’t all free, she has an Android and was able to buy Plus Lifetime) but it’s very disappointing because I was really enjoying using it.

### 5/5 — Add Filipinoooo

*2026-08-03, version 3.18.0*

could you guys add any Filipino languages, Tagalog or cebuano? Unless you guys are already working on that? I’m just curious, I think it’d be really cool

### 5/5 — Download this instead of Duolingo.

*2026-08-01, version 3.18.0*

So I love Duolingo but the fact that i keep on running put of energy makes me mad. It keeps wanting me to bye premium but the pop ups are soooooo annoying. So I recommend this app or Lingo Land. Its kind like prodigy but language.
