User reviews

Awful

Terrible mnemonics, not memorable. I miss the White Rabbit Press cards I bought for my kids in 2011!

Abandonware

Auto play doesn’t work.

Works great for me!

Everyone is different and learns in their own way. For me, I have found this app works well to study and remember all of the characters.

Can’t learn words and phrases

This app is very helpful when leaning hiragana and katakana, but when I go to learn phrases and words the app simply closes down, I’ve tried this in the hiragana and katakana course but they both do the same thing, I hope this can be fixed.

I can’t use it

I bought the bundle and I can only use one the other two apps won’t even open
