Not bad, but has an error

My students find the picture mnemonics really helpful and I use the printable practice sheets in class. I would love to have them use the app, but there is a mistake: the “i”sound is used for both い and う and this will confuse my lower students. (I haven’t checked all the other sounds.)

Please fix your bugs

App is good for learning but it frequently has bugs. The sound won’t come on, this has been an issue for a long while and they still haven’t fixed it. Please do
