Forced me to buy platnium

I just downloaded to learn japanese, then it told me to buy platnium for 0 dollars I don’t want it! It sucks

Top 3 best Japanese learning apps

I’ve tried so many Japanese learning apps and this is easily top 3 for me. You’ll just need a supplement for nailing down Kanji and vocab though but grammar is definitely its strong suit . I wish they had a middle tier priced plan that didn’t include the AI as its pricier than alternatives. The style and design does make it more fun to use though.

Good but…

The lessons are really solid and actually teach you all the grammar really well but I’m not sure I like the direction the app is going in. Each update is non optional and adds more and more of all the worst aspects of Duolingo such as streak counters, tiered leagues, and other gamification features that don’t assist in learning but instead clog up the interface. Plus the ‘ai tutor’ is as bad as you’d expect (why does EVERY app need ai features?!!!). I really miss the way it used to be without all the frivolous non-educational features. I also don’t like how some features are now locked behind a paywall even though the base app is paid. I suspect that as bunpo gets more popular it will become less and less concerned with education and quality will dwindle just like what has happened with other popular language learning apps. If they ever add health points like Duolingo I will not continue using the app.

Appreciate the response from the developers! I love bunpo and simply hope that it doesn’t go the route that Duolingo has.

Sleek, challenging, encouraging

Quite amazed with the useful tools and features this app has. The app got me when it showed more than mere flash cards. The Ai feature was used in a more useful manner. I say the set-up was smooth and understanding.
The membership is $19.99 a month - a fantastic starting price to begin with avast majority of options to learn and use. Daily rewards and incentives not only keeps me returning but I really enjoy the quiz at the end of each chapter. Really challenges you not just a quick breeze. I’m excited to see other languages, what was a nice touch to see was that the app didn’t cater to just English speakers wanting to try something new. With that being said, it seems rather in-depth recognizing some languages to have difficulty with pronunciation with other languages.

I absolutely recommend giving this app a try, at least to see if you want to try and apply yourself to something.
