It's been so long that they've updated it that it probably just isn't compatible with the newest update which is a shame. As soon as i click on it, it crashes and exits out. I doubt that there's going to be an update anytime soon. ### 3/5 — App crash *2024-12-11, version 2.7.5* Updated my phone and app crash. Cannot open the app. ### 1/5 — Very buggy and won’t let me sign in *2024-11-10, version 2.7.5* Every time I try to sign in, it comes back with an error code (Request failed: service unavailable 503) and while I see the app being promising, with how it is described, it not working is a real shame. Guess I’ll just keep using the other sites. ### 1/5 — App still isn’t functioning *2024-10-19, version 2.7.5* There was a review back in April 2024 about the app not functioning. It is now October 2024 and I am unable to sign in or do much with the app. Is the service dead? ### 2/5 — App not functioning *2024-04-07* This App looks awesome, it looks friendly and easy to use with welcoming characters and atmosphere but every time I try to make an account and or log in it doesn’t do anything and just says (Network Error please try again later) something along those lines. I deleted the app to fix the problem and nothing and I also tried it on my cellular data instead of wifi and nothing works either. I hope this can be fixed in the future. ### 1/5 — App Inoperable *2024-04-02, version 2.7.5* I assume the app has depreciated. Looks lovely, but no matter what method I try, I cannot create an account, and without an account you cannot access even basic features. Shame. ### 1/5 — doesn’t work *2023-12-01, version 2.7.5* Doesn’t work. for a few weeks i’ve tried to create an account and log in and no matter what i do it gives me a message saying “error 503 service unavailable”. ### 1/5 — Can’t even sign in *2023-11-18, version 2.7.5* I made two accounts with different emails and it still doesn’t let me sign in, it either says the account doesn’t exist or there’s a server error. Do better you egg 🍳 ! I’m playing, but seriously fix it 🥺 ### 1/5 — Needs some work *2023-09-04, version 2.7.5* Looks like it could be good but not a lot of free content, constantly asked to login but when you do create an account you get an error so it asks you to login again every 2 mins. ### 1/5 — Errors *2023-08-21, version 2.7.5* Can’t even get started due to server errors ### 2/5 — Good untill you have to pay. *2023-06-16* I did not see anywhere you have to pay and then I finish a lesson and it says “you have run out of free lessons” ### 4/5 — Great for very beginner *2023-06-03, version 2.7.5* If you’re a intermediate Japanese language learner, this might be too simple. I don’t think it’s a true chatbot. You can only enter in what it tells you to enter. I was hoping to have a virtual friend to practice with. ### 3/5 — My FAVE resource, but needs improvements!! *2023-04-12* I would happily pay every single year for the premium app (as they don’t have a lifetime option).. but haven’t yet upgraded because it seems they don’t continually add to the lessons, vocabulary, and cultural bits as other reviewers have mentioned. Really too bad or I would recommend it to everyone I know who wants to learn Japanese!! ### 1/5 — Impossible to log in (premium user) *2023-01-15, version 2.7.5* For 2 days I'm not able to log in and I'm trying to contact them in all the ways... No answer. Is it probably something related to the service or the app is just dead? But obviously, the payment will go through. 0 stars for customer service. ### 3/5 — Good app but kinda misses.. *2022-11-19* This app isn’t terrible and it is definitely helping me learn the Japanese alphabet, but on some things like the quizzes I put in the right answer and it keeps telling me I’m incorrect. When it finally tells me what the correct answer was it is exactly what I had already entered 3 times. Please fix this! I really like this app otherwise. ### 1/5 — Can’t sign up OR sign in *2022-10-24, version 2.7.5* Please fix this!! It keeps saying “Service Error” and it won’t let me do anything. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix it *2026-07-06* This just crashes when i try to enter the application ### 1/5 — Sign in *2026-03-24* It won’t let me sign it or log in for that matter. Without this it won’t let me continue the learning game…. Annoyed, please fix it. It keeps saying ‘service unavailable’. ### 1/5 — It seems like it used to work, but is now outdated *2026-01-19, version 2.7.5* It seems like this used to work but now is outdated please update if possible, As you might just be wasting $100 per month to keep this on the App Store ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2026-01-02* I’ve reinstalled the app dozens of time but I can’t even open it at all. You need to fix your bugs ### 1/5 — App doesn’t open *2025-11-09, version 2.7.5* So looks like nothing is working, please fix this app as I can’t open the app as when I click on the app, it goes back to Home Screen so please fix it. ### 1/5 — Can’t even open the app… *2025-09-28, version 2.7.5* I’m getting back into studying Japanese and am looking for all the resources I can get. This app seemed intriguing and decided to give it a try However, when I try to open the app, it instantly crashes back to my home screen. I’ve attempted multiple times, deleted and redownloaded multiple times, and nothing works Sounds like I’m not missing out on much ### 1/5 — app wont open *2025-08-25, version 2.7.5* when i press the app icon on my homescreen it shuts off. doesnt happen with any of my other apps ### 1/5 — Crashes immediately *2025-03-02, version 2.7.5* Literally can't even open the app. When I click on it, it pops up for a nanosecond and then immediately crashes. I don't think it's compatible with the latest iOS. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2025-02-12* I can’t even open the app. I use the Eggbun app for Korean and it’s totally fine, in fact I think it’s super cute and fun way to learn, but I can’t even get this one to open on my phone. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading, but that isn’t working. I don’t know what to do to make it work so I’m just gonna leave this here. If it worked I’m sure it would be five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 1/5 — doesn’t even let me open the app *2025-01-09, version 2.7.5* can’t even open the app without it immediately kicking me out? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app keep crashing me out *2025-03-30, version 2.7.5* Fix this app ### 5/5 — Major bug won’t let me use app :( *2023-12-04* Of course iv uninstalled and reinstalled. Closed out and reopened. Everything. I am getting the same issue as other reviews of when you sign up or sign in you get “Request failed:Service unavailable :503” error message :( I am unable to view any lessons because of this. The app is adorable and sooo in depth I will keep it until I or developers find a fix ! I recommend it if it works for you from what iv seen ### 5/5 — Enjoyable and Helpful Chatbot Tutor! *2023-07-03, version 2.7.5* I have been studying Japanese for a long time, and Lanny is a great help. I love the design and how it’s made. The colors look a bit nostalgic. アリガトウ、タマゴbun! 😊 ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-04-23* Loved this app! Really useful for beginners especially with the hirigana and katakana, I found Lanny very helpful and works kind of like a tutor. Being honest 10/10 ### 5/5 — Absolutely adore! *2021-11-09* I literally love! ! It’sdoesn’t have any bugs and it’s very smooth. I have a problem with diagnosed adhd but this helped me so much! Unlike other apps, this allows you to sometimes text to Lanny, which I LOVE! Thank you for making it possible for this app to be created! Love, Your user, Ana :) ### 5/5 — Literally so amazing *2021-07-05, version 2.7.5* This app helped me improve my japanese so much its incredible!!! ### 5/5 — One problem *2021-05-12, version 2.7.5* I love love love the app, definitely worth the price but when I got to learning the names and spelling of different countries it asked me to arrange the symbols to spell “Korea” which would’ve been “かんこく” but it does not provide me with a か symbol I tried to send them feedback on the issue through the app but it kept saying error when I tried to send it. ### 5/5 — helpful *2021-02-02, version 2.7.5* IT helped me to learn Japanese!! ### 5/5 — Chatbot *2021-01-17, version 2.7.5* Chatbot ### 5/5 — A great language app *2020-09-10* Other apps for learning Japanese are good in their own right. This one has helped me more than any other Japanese app in terms of typing and feeling proficient in a modern way. I like how it seems like you’re actually texting someone. I enjoyed the free version and have started my first paid month. I know it will help me actually learn a lot. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
