Good app

It is a good app, but it the letters that represent the sound ( a, e, u ,o, i, ke, ko, ki, etc...) could be bigger, and easier to click on. Good app tho

Annoying app

From the initial, unskippable pop-up that directs you to their website, all the way through their uninformative, text-only “lessons,” this app proved useless from minute one. One of my few near-immediate uninstalls.

Best app for learning hirigana and katakana!!!!!

I cannot express how thankful I am. This is by far the best app to improve your hirigana and katakana skills, and I have tried A LOT of apps. Although this app has some ads that and sometimes there’s one ad that always pops up when you enter, it still works grrreat. 10/10
