Very entertaining way to learn how to write hiragana

### 5/5 — Very well made for kids!!!

*2022-06-20, version 1.18.2*

My 3 year old daughter loves playing with this. 遊びながら覚えられて、しかも休憩ブレイクタイムがあるからうまくやめられて最高です。アプリを作ってくれた方々、海外でなかなか日本語を学ぶ機会がない子ども達にとってとっても助かってます。どうもありがとう！！！

### 5/5 — GREAT APP

*2022-01-07, version 1.15.11*

Ok I get it I’m probably too old for this game but I’m learning Japanese and this actually helps and is fun I would recommend to anyone trying to learn or even if your just trying to have fun

*2021-09-01*

Good app

### 5/5 — Best hiragana and katakana practice apps.

*2021-06-23, version 1.15.11*

Best hiragana and katakana practice. The games are interesting for kids and very cute (the drawing tool keeps changing and the voice helps memorizing). Please Nakamura San make more!

### 5/5 — Review

*2021-06-17, version 1.15.11*

Iam loving the app already

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

*2021-05-18, version 1.15.11*

My three year old bilingual son absolutely loves this app. Although it has quite simple graphics, they are super cute. It also has an engaging and entertaining mix of activities. He learned all hiragana within two months just by using this app and some Anpanman hiragana blocks. Thank you Rainbow Mimizu!!

### 5/5 — IM LEARNING

*2021-05-10, version 1.15.11*

I THE JAPANEASE KID IS LEARNING JAPANEASE THANKS A LOT

### 5/5 — Fun and Educational

*2021-03-31, version 1.15.11*

My five year old loves this APP.  I have tried many other ones to learn hiragana but this is the best as she asks to play everyday.   You get twenty characters for free so you can try out all the features for free.

My daughter played the free version for over a month.  I just purchased the app to get all the characters.

### 5/5 — so cool

*2020-08-24, version 1.8.3*

Very cute thank you

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-07-05, version 1.8.3*

My 4 year old loves this app. I use this as a supplement to teaching her hiragana. I think this has been more helpful than tracing on paper cause it’s fun. She also really likes the game voice repeating the kana the whole time when she’s tracing the word. Worth the purchase for sure!

### 5/5 — レインボーミミズ

*2020-06-05, version 1.8.3*

4歳の娘のためにダウンロードしました。
他のアプリだと、途中であきてしまうのですが、このアプリでは、あきない様に一つ一つ違うゲームが出てきたりと、最後まで楽しく集中して出来ました！
お試し版を使いましたが、有料版を購入しようと思います！

### 5/5 — Best one we have tried! (VPP paid version is worth it)

*2019-06-24, version 1.7.4*

We have tried many kana apps, and this one is hands down, the best. It’s fun for my kids (keeps their attention with pictures), has variety in the games, instructs in Japanese (which you can read in either English, Thai, or Japanese), and spells out words.

I like that it repeats each kana in different ways after learning how to write them. It’s fantastic that it constantly says the pronunciation of each kana as you’re writing it.

The only thing that I would update would be to say the entire word after it is spelled out, such as うさぎ instead of just saying each kana. It’s not clear to little ones what the word is since they write slowly.

Please make more apps! I would LOVE a Japanese version of “Endless Words” (Endless ABC series) that includes longer sentences, sentence structure, and kanji for kids!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-07-26, version 1.3.27*

すばらしいアプリです。海外で子どもを育てています。子どもの母語である日本語を伸ばすためにあれこれ試行錯誤している中で出会いました。
私自身も楽しく学ぶ、ということをいくつになっても基本にしたいとあらためて思いました。
1行ずつ、2行ずつ、と一回で遊べる量を親が設定できるので、大変助かっています。
毎日少しずつ続けます。

### 4/5 — This app really nice ✨✨

*2024-04-12, version 1.18.2*

I’m 15 years old girl I learn Japanese from it !!! If u continue learning from it everyday u will be excellent in Japanese 🔥

### 4/5 — Good but Sound doesn’t work.

*2018-02-23, version 1.2.5*

This app is simple, cute and easy to use. The concept is great and the lessons are simple for a child. I downloaded this because my children (5years old and 1 year old) are both half Japanese and we want them to learn Japanese. I am also learning Japanese and thought I could use this app to start off with. 
But I cannot get the sound to work on this app. It is obvious that there should be sound to this app and I have made sure that the volume on my phone is on high but the app is still silent. If there is a simple fix for this, please let me know! I would really like for my 5 year old to practice but if he can’t hear the sound the characters make then it’s pointless. 
Thank you!

*2023-11-02, version 1.18.2*

なかなかひらがなを覚えようとしなかった息子が夢中になってやっています。
是非とも小学生用の漢字アプリも作って欲しいです。

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2023-07-26, version 1.18.2*

My 2 and half year old loves everything about this app! Especially when she is trying to catch the runaway character and when she can dress up the character in the funny glasses or hat after successfully and adorably writing it out.
