A serious learning tool

I tried many language apps. They are all extremely gamified and designed to give you the impression of learning.
This one taught me all the kana in 3 days.
Grammar and vocabulary are notoriously difficult, but the unique teaching approach makes a massive difference.
This service is well above the competition and clearly made with love. I immediately bought the lifetime subscription.
Well done!

Mehr als nur für Otaku

Ich schreibe nie Bewertungen, doch kann bei dieser App von nichts anderem als Vervollkommnung sprechen. Sowohl die Möglichkeit zum Customisieren als auch die Inhalte und die Übersichtlichkeit kratzen am Ideal. Es macht einfach Spaß und bringt nachhaltigen Erfolg, mit Bunpro zu lernen. Vielen Dank für die Mühen!!!

Best in class

I’ve tried many Japanese learning apps and tools, and Bunpro is by far the best for quickly learn vocabulary and grammar retention.

The combination of spaced repetition and learning through real contextual sentences works great.

The developers are incredibly responsive and genuinely listen to user feedback. New features and improvements are regularly added, and it’s clear that the app keeps getting better over time.

Bunpro has become an essential part of my Japanese learning journey, and I would highly recommend it to anyone serious about learning Japanese.

Best app

Tried many things to learn Japanese. This app really helps to do it consistently. Everything works perfect.

Response from developer

We are so happy to see feedback like this! Have fun studying and feel free to send us an email at dominik@bunpro.jp in case of any issues!

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!

Game Changer

Honestly a game changer when learning grammar. I only use it for grammar and not even the vocab. It’s just that good at grammar. If you want to pick up grammar fast and in a structured and enjoyable manner then this is just the best thing out there hands down.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words! We are doing our best to make the app as good as possible! Try using it for vocab, and also reading practice and JLPT tests! You won't regret! Have fun studying!

Better than doomscrolling!

Bunpro is amazing! While I used to reach for my phone to endlessly doomscroll, I’ve since replaced that habit with Bunpro. Its system of spaced repetition gives me a wonderful thing to reach for when I’m waiting in line for coffee or winding down at the end of the day.

Its system of pluggable flash cards has made it an invaluable companion to my Genki textbook. Whereas I used to get tripped up on its grammar lessons, or have trouble making its vocab “stick”, Bunpro gives me a great way to practice those lessons. Now I’m finding that I’m making much more progress in my studies and I’m enjoying every minute of it!

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…).

Nous sommes ravis de lire un avis aussi détaillé ! Sachez que nous travaillons continuellement sur de nouvelles fonctionnalités, et que l'équipe de support de l'application mobile fera toujours de son mieux pour vous répondre et vous aider aussi vite que possible. Bon apprentissage !

Incroyable

L’application est incroyable, elle m’a énormément aidé, et les développeurs sont ultra efficaces et rapides en cas de problème
Je recommande a 100%

Response from developer

Merci pour ces mots si gentils, nous ne pouvions pas espérer un meilleur compliment ! Nous ne faisons que commencer et beaucoup de nouveautés sont à venir ! Bon apprentissage et n'hésitez pas à nous contacter à tout moment en cas de problème !

Great

If you know about wani kani, and you always wanted the same bit for grammar, you’re in the right place

Thank you for the feedback! Have fun studying!

Review

Grammar section very helpful.

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.
