Excellent simple kana learning app

I learned hiragana in an afternoon and katakana in two afternoons with help of this app. I am now using it to internalize pronunciation and to maintain memory of the kana I learned. I do not often review apps, but I find this to be excellent. I would recommend an option to change fonts. I find reading kana easy with such a sans serif font, but reading with fonts in a calligraphic style takes getting used to. The best example of this is こ which appears more like a sideways い when written calligraphically. Well done!!
