My new favorite app for Nihongo

Clay and Yumi have made this app entertaining as well as effective. I especially enjoy doing the quizzes ( hard to believe). They have provided an easy way to email from the app and a way to have the app move forward automatically. I can use this kind of listening practice with tiny bits at a time.
