Finally

One app which is interesting and also reasonable priced, could make a price down for lifetime membership then I could definitely take it.
For now still trial period but as I use it every day ( that’s a first) I think I will go for one month after that and keep going.

Response from developer

Hey! Thank you for the kind words! We are so happy that you like the app, we just want to say we are just starting. As for the Lifetime, we usually have sale around December! Have fun studying!

Gute App für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene!

Ich habe Bunpro schon vor ner Weile mal ausprobiert und es gefiel mir schon da sehr gut. Jetzt lerne ich seit 3 Monaten wieder aktiv für den JLPT Test und kann Bunpro umso mehr empfehlen! Man kann sich Decks reinladen für jede Stufe (N5 - N1) und auch einige Bücher wie Genki z.B. sind als Deck komplett verfügbar. Dazu gibt es noch ein paar Spiele und viele andere „Extras“

Vielen Dank für die netten Worte! Wir möchten noch darauf hinweisen, dass du auch JLPT-Probetests (Mock Tests) machen und vor der Prüfung unsere Cramming-Funktion (intensives Pauken) nutzen kannst! Es wird in Zukunft noch mehr kommen! Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

Perfect

Cette appli est parfaite pour réviser la grammaire (et le vocabulaire, si vous ne cherchez pas à savoir tracer les kanjis) japonaise, avec répétition espacée. Le support a été très réactif toutes les fois où je l’ai contacté. Les leçons de grammaire sont bien faites, sans les erreurs classiques de certains manuels. Le système est encourageant et clair sans être stressant. Et il y a beaucoup d’autres fonctionnalités (histoires à lire, examens JLPT, personnalisations…).

Review

Grammar section very helpful.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words! We are putting effort to make it even better! We are just starting! Cheers

Need German translation

Hey Guys, do you plan to bring German as a language in game ? So I will learn in mother’s language but is no possible with this app 😭 but Looks really good to me 😉

Response from developer

Hey! Thanks for the kind words! We cannot promise adding German, but we will consider adding it in the future! Have fun studying!

Paid version

Basically need to get the paid version to really get use out of it, and that’s worth it if you have the money to spare. It does work well enough with WaniKani/Tsurukami as well.

Response from developer

Hey! Thank you for the review! We want to say that JLPT tests are completely free of charge, same with grammar dictionary. Have fun studying!

Fine, I suppose

I’m not sure if I don’t understand the example sentences because I skipped straight to N4 (and didn’t see the earlier grammar or vocabulary) or if they are just using grammar and vocabulary that are way beyond N4. I suspect it’s the latter, which is really not helpful. I also wish there were a way to hide the hints in quizzes: I tend to be lazy and not read the entire sentence yet still be able to answer just by reading the English hint.

Response from developer

Thank you for trying Bunpro! As for the the example sentences, we actually use an 'N+1' approach. This means our sentences build upon previously taught grammar, just like a pyramid. So grammar not learned should not appear as long as you are using bunpro deck. As for the quiz hints, we've got you covered! You can hide them by tapping the hint button during a review, or you can go into your Review Settings to permanently change the default to 'Hide'. If you need any help setting this up or have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us at dominik@bunpro.jp. Have fun studying!

すごい!

So good! The best Japanese learning tool I’ve tried and the free trial is so generous!

Response from developer

Thanks for the great feedback! We will make sure to not dissapoint you - we are just starting! Have fun studying!

Appli bien mais…

Cette appli semble bien mais ce qui est désagréable c’est que depuis que j’ai créé mon compte et donc donné mon adresse mail je suis submergée de spam. Ok c’est gratuit le premier mois mais si en échange vous vendez les informations personnelles honnêtement j’aurais préféré payer. Dommage.

Response from developer

Merci pour votre retour. Nous ne vendons ni ne partageons les données personnelles de nos utilisateurs avec des tiers. Malheureusement, ces spams proviennent probablement d'autres services ou plateformes d'apprentissage moins scrupuleux.

Really good app

Best app for japanese learners !

Response from developer

Thank you for the very kind words! We are doing our best, and we will make sure to make the app even better in the future! Cheers

My favorite learning app for Japanese grammar

If you’re studying Japanese and want to get deeper than Duolingo ever could, then consider Bunpro for grammar.

While there are hundreds of SRS apps with nearly infinite customizability for Japanese in general, in my opinion Bunpro is by far the most organized and clearly designed for the grammar part. The points are logically organized and intuitively explained, and feature explainers to better differentiate between related grammar points. The paid version isn’t cheap, but it offers unlimited access to all the grammar points, and it’s more affordable during the annual sale.

Bunpro also offers a vocabulary SRS, though I would say that grammar is easily the best part.

Best way to study grammar

In my opinion the best way to study grammar. The explanations are detailed and also show the differences to similar expressions. The different levels of hints you can set during the practice is a nice option as well.

In the end, this app helped me more than some teachers that just rush over grammar points without going into detail.

Response from developer

We are really happy to read such a detailed review! We wish you luck in Japanese journey! Have fun studying!

Fantastic Tool

Has comprehensive explanations for each grammar point, broken up into manageable parts. I’m finding this in combination with Wani Kani to be super productive.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words, we will make sure to make the app even better! We are just starting, and feel free to contact us anytime if you have any feedback!

Info button is way worse

The info button producing a screen that scrolls down made my review process way more time consuming. I don’t like the way it works. It makes my keyboard display disappear, I can’t click into the text box to delete text, and I’m forced to undo. On top of that I’ve accidentally hit the back button on the info screen, thinking it will bring me back up the page, but it brings me back to my homepage. Overall, made the app worse.

Response from developer

Hey! This has been fixed, you just have to update the app to the latest version! Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the five stars!

Great Detail!

Favorite Japanese learning app & website: great cross compatibility and I love the nuance in definitions, explanations, and tons of examples. The audio is super clean and everything flows really well.

Great for post university study

I finished my studies at about an N3 level and find it so hard to get good resources when you’re already at that level. Finding a free app like this where you can start at your level, and go all the way to N1?? Insane. Thank you

Response from developer

Thank you for the great feedback! Have fun studying, and in case of any problems feel free to write!

Great app, great idea

I’ve been using Bunpro for a good couple of years now and even went through the beta of the app.
It’s such a game changer as a convenient way to keep on top of one’s Japanese learning.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We are so happy that you are with us from the (long) beta period, we will make sure to never dissapoint you and deliver more and more features! We are just starting!

Single Handedly taught me Japanese

I’ve been using Bunpro for two years, and overall it’s been an overwhelming positive experience! Please do try it! While it does have its faults, the dev team is very responsive and the community is Alive and well! Praise the Bunpro gods!

Response from developer

Thank you for the super kind words! Reading reviews like this really motivates us to work! Having users like You, that create this amazing community makes us really happy! Have fun studying, and as for the faults, feel free to contact us at dominik@bunpro.jp!

Very polished, super helpful

Bunpro has great explanations of grammar points and excellent example sentences. It’s indispensable for serious learners of Japanese.
