### 5/5 — The app that I have been looking for

*2024-09-22, version 2.2.0*

Great content, amazing simple design, all the useful and core information. Definitely recommend it for any beginner Japanese learner.

### 5/5 — Super clean and easy to use!

*2024-09-22*

My favorite app for Japanese + English news!!!!

### 5/5 — Helpful and cool app

*2024-07-15*

It’s really helpful to read, listen to for learners at different level. I like the format and UI design. Everything comes in a simple way won’t confuse or lost. Recommend

### 5/5 — 很容易上手很有针对性的软件

*2024-06-15*

我从来不写软件的评价，不过这次遇到这个软件很满意，之前不知道用什么软件来听听力好，这让我学习n1相关知识很为难，市面上做得好的日语能力考学习软件太少了。刚下载这个软件的时候，它没有分模块，就是很多新闻，当时很满意的是它免费，还可以调速听，有注音并且可以隐藏。隔了一段时间再用发现分了很明显的区块，有能力考和NHK什么，真的很好用，不得不给个大大的赞。

### 5/5 — Best app for reading Japanese news

*2024-04-06*

I've been looking for a nice app for reading Japanese news with legit English translation. Compared with some other apps that apply machine translation directly, this app provides surprisingly good English translation. I hope it can provide a lifetime subscription option.

### 5/5 — 使用感受

*2024-03-19*

很实用的日语软件，可以一边看文章一边听文章，还可以看NHK的视频，视频还有相对应的文章，听不懂的可以看文章。还有很多日本文学可以看、听，而且可以自己调节倍速，也可以逐句精听、文章也可以选择要不要注音。文章的内容涉及的十分全面，有商务日语、日本文学、日语考级题还有童话故事和生活娱乐等。而且会员也不贵，总之是一款十分好用且实用的学习软件，推荐大家下载使用。

### 5/5 — 使用

*2024-02-21*

总体使用感很不错。去年为了听NHK的新闻练习听力，无意间在应用商店看到了并且下载了。打开给了我很大的惊喜，首先有很多的听力资源，其次是竟然原文里有读音标注，还有不同颜色区分不同词性，对日语学习者来说真的是极度友好。包括倍速、循环播放等，都是很不错的功能。
我希望能够更好地方是，希望可以出一个用户跟读功能，或者自己朗读，应用自动打分纠正读音啥的，可能有点麻烦，但我觉得很有用。以上。谢谢聆听。

**Developer response:** 你好，感谢建议！说到心坎里了，这个对学习非常有用，已经策划好了，之后要做。就是目前卡在别的任务上，请耐心等待一段时间。

### 5/5 — Very nice app to learn Japanese

*2023-01-24*

If you got hiragana and katakana jog down, this app is a great way to learn Japanese.

Well, I do also hope for something similar but for light novels

### 5/5 — An great resource for low-mid levels Japanese learners

*2022-09-12*

I’ve been reading news in Japanese using this app for a few months now. And so far this free version app has surpassed all of my original expectations.

Aside from its reliable daily news updates on current events that concern Japan, this app also offers furigana (pronunciation notations atop the text) and English translation of all articles.

In short, I would highly recommend others to use this app to stay abreast of news cycles in Japan and learn Japanese at the same time.

### 5/5 — 初学者天堂

*2022-03-19*

里面有短篇的新闻 而且中文上面也有假名标出来 词性也有颜色变化 可以边听边自己做笔记 也可以选择播放速度 快或者慢都可以 不仅有新闻 也有短篇故事 比死记硬背单词语法好多了 多听这些也可以帮助灵活运用语法 最好是可以提高听力 唯一不解的是好像不开网就啥都没有了😭😭😭真的跪求可以出一个听过的或者收藏的文章无网络状态也可以听啊 这样真的就完美了❤️

### 5/5 — Really cool app

*2021-10-23*

I love this app, it’s really good for me, I think it’ll be good for others, because reading short stories and the repetition of certain words helps to retain new words and it helps that there in story form because it makes a stronger connection tissue than just memorizing individual words. I like that I get to see words in context

### 5/5 — 使用

*2021-09-09*

现在版本优化已经好了很多，基本每天都有新闻可以看，对于学习不久的同学来说每天更新三四篇新闻的阅读量就够了，实在还想看还有故事啊什么的，真的很好用，我基本天天都会打开来看，唯一有点遗憾的就是点击单词时有的没有，开发者把词库量适当拓展一下就好了，还有希望能添加单词的发音声调表明一下就更好了！毕竟是阅读用的，可以理解，去日语词典查就好，感谢你们带来这么好的应用、非常感谢

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-07-25*

I can’t believe this is free. I’ve just started to use it and it’s so informative and helpful for learning Japanese. Thank you!

### 5/5 — fantastic

*2021-07-10, version 1.4.3*

No ads, so useful

### 5/5 — 太棒了

*2021-03-29*

这软件非常好，适合我们日语专业的学生使用。还有故事什么的，闲来无事拿来听一听，培养一下语感。功能板块开发的也不错，希望能精简页面一下，多多更新，内容方面涉及更多领域，这样才能更快乐学习

**Developer response:** 我们也一直在考虑如何拓展内容上，如果有兴趣，可以加我微信 easyjapanese-cs 详谈。

### 5/5 — Fluent but rusty....

*2021-03-17*

So happy to find this app. Esp during covid when I’m looking for activities, finding this was wonderful. The audio is clear without the maddening idiosyncrasies of newscasters world wide. Keeps my kanji en pointe! Thank you 😌

### 5/5 — 不错不错

*2020-11-29*

之前新闻总是加载不出来，影响使用感，所以给了差评…现在更新改进了，不会出现播放卡顿或者无法播放的情况，画面也比之前设计得更好看了，不错不错

**Developer response:** 您好，我们已经解决了网络问题了，可能需要您重启一下APP或者重装一下APP来解决，非常感谢！

### 5/5 — 希望增加功能

*2020-10-09*

希望增加一个功能，可以不需要一直拿着手机，它可以自动播放下一条新闻。
因为在学日语，所以经常会在早晨洗漱、打扫卫生、做饭的时候，放一些日语听力有关的音频，比如新闻或者动漫。动漫有时候会涉及一些很不常用的词，所以更多的时候是播放新闻。
很多时候不能一直拿着手机，如果播放完一个就结束，又或者一直播放同一条新闻，就觉得很单调。如果拿起手机去播放下一条又觉得很麻烦。
所以希望添加一个功能，可以由使用者自己选择是否要按顺序播放列表新闻，能让学习日语的小伙伴在碎片时间里也可以练习听力。
加油加油！

### 4/5 — Good App

*2022-04-06, version 1.5.5*

Works well but some of the translations over the letters shifts and the interpretation is a bit off 

Over all a good App which I can use on iPhone and iPad with ease

### 4/5 — 没声音啦

*2021-01-18*

对于学习日语来说感觉其实特别好，但是为什么总是用着用着就没有声音了呢，比如视频部分一直都没有，阅读部分一开始有，听着听着突然就没了，就需要切换到别的文章活着退出应用重新进，这个情况很频繁，希望早点修复

**Developer response:** 您好，非常抱歉给您造成麻烦了。您可以尝试在简单日语APP的设置界面里，把全球加速的开关关掉。然后将APP切换到后台杀掉。再重启APP试一下是否有改善？如果仍然遇到问题，可以通过微信：easyjapanese-cs 来联系我排查问题。谢谢

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2020-08-29*

I love the app, but agree with the earlier comment concerning ads. Please add a paid version that can be ad free. Also, I would like there to be an option to toggle the translation on and off. 

Having said these things, I feel that this app provides a valuable tool into the world of learning Japanese. Thank you for developing it!

### 4/5 — 听力➕实时新闻➕中日翻译！

*2020-06-18*

有实时新闻，还有听力，中日翻译，并且标读。真的很棒，那些听力软件，虽然能听到，但是突然听到不认识的单词的时候无法马上查找，这个就满足了一次性的要求。必须点赞。如果文章可以再长一点就更好了。日语学习者认可。

### 4/5 — I think it is really good.

*2020-04-01*

It is super simple, without a ton of ads and distractions.

I wish i could regulate the speed of pronunciation though, it goes too fast.

besides that it is exactly what i am looking for. I hope they dont get it to become too complicated in the future. The reason i use it is its simplicity.

Great work!.

### 4/5 — Great app, but now has ads.

*2019-06-08*

Had to remove a star for the ads. I understand developers have to eat and that translation is expensive—I’m an interpreter/translator myself. Could you please make a paid version? Would love to support you and have an ad–free experience.

### 5/5 — 对口语友好

*2026-07-16*

作为日语零基础小白，这款软件帮我解决了不敢开口说日语的难题。从基础五十音发音到情景模拟对话循序渐进设计，还有真人发音示范，练习模式丰富，既能磨耳朵又能练表达，使用体验感拉满，每天坚持打卡，口语语感提升特别明显，真心五星好评！

### 5/5 — Not Bad

*2026-07-05*

I like using this app the practice conversation with the chat bots, conversation feels natural and you’re also able to see where your speaking can be improved and if there were no errors whatsoever. I recommend this app for anyone who wants to practice speaking Japanese but doesn’t have an immediate speaking partner.

### 5/5 — Great app for learning

*2026-04-10*

I love the audio function and hiragana mark for kanji. I don’t usually pay attention to news but I do now!

### 5/5 — 可以练听力

*2025-11-03*

这个软件蛮不错的，可以练习听力，还有日本新闻。我觉得作为去日本前听的app很合适。剩下的功能还没试，等我有了会员挨个功能尝试一下。日语对话功能希望对口语有帮助。没有日本人对话练习，只能用这种软件来练习了。好像还没有广告，比大部分软件强不少了已经，希望能继续坚持，不要增加广告。

### 5/5 — 良いアプリです

*2025-09-11, version 2.3.4*

このアプリの使用感はいいです

### 5/5 — A life Changing App

*2025-06-12*

"Easy Japanese" is a fantastic app for beginners! The lessons are engaging, breaking down grammar, hiragana, katakana, and kanji into manageable, bite-sized pieces. The inclusion of native speaker audio is incredibly helpful for pronunciation. It has made starting my Japanese learning journey both fun and surprisingly simple.

### 5/5 — Resource for Japanese Learning

*2025-05-26*

This application is user-friendly for Japanese learners, offering a step-by-step approach tailored to individual language proficiency levels. I have been utilizing this application for one month and have developed a sense of confidence in my reading, vocabulary, and listening skills. Consistent daily practice is essential for effective learning. However, extensive motivation is not a prerequisite. The application itself serves as a sufficient resource for language acquisition.

### 5/5 — Good reading practice

*2025-05-14*

Good for listening and speaking as well because of the professionally written news and stories and well as AI Voice. I use it for checking intonations which is hard to practice alone. It’s useful to learn business Japanese as well which is nice and the choices of reading passage also have many variety.

### 5/5 — Excellent Study Aid

*2024-11-22*

This app is perfect for those who are needing a supplemental tool for their Japanese language study. I’ve been using this app for a while now, and my ability to read has improved. I love how there are translations of words I’ve not learned yet, and how it makes reading kanji easier. I definitely recommend using this app if you want your language skills to improve.

### 5/5 — Exactly what i was looking for

*2024-11-08, version 2.2.2*

Exactly the kind of app i was looking for where i can chat to an ai in my broken Japanese, or even i am struggling revert to english, but still get a reply back instantly in Japanese. Would recommend to anybody would wants to learn the language.
