Make sure mute phone / silent mode is off

GENKI is treated like a game and as such audio will be silent if it is off. Otherwise the app works fine.

Good like with nihongo

Enjoyable and useful

This app is a very useful accompaniment to the book and enjoyable to use. It would be good if there was a way to zoom in or if the Japanese at least could be made larger as I find the furigana too small to read.

Sound issues at first but

You have to switch your phone off of silent mode while using the app. It works perfectly if you do that

No Sound

No sounds. Completely useless

Great Flash cards

Great flash cards if you are using the GENKI text book. I haven’t had any issue with the sound muting that wasn’t resolved by flipping the silent switch back and forth.
