Using two apps

So I purchased the entire Japanese app (blue tile with a symbol) from writing practice and this for reading practice both are very helpful with pronunciation as well!

This is a fun game and awesome tool.

I use this app alongside all of my university resources to help me along with my learning. What a great tool, I recommend picking it up at least once every day and playing for a few minutes! The speed of the game really reinforces the memory retention.

Only game that has helped me learn to read Japanese

I have tried probably close to 30 apps that claim to help you learn to read hiragana. This is the only one that has ever actually helped! Itโ€™s fun, just difficult enough without being too hard, and best of all it sticks! Even after months of not doing any Japanese at all I can still remember most of the characters. I highly recommend this game for both children and adults!

Absolutely worthless

This app is some how worse on cell phone than the Nintendo Switch. Donโ€™t get me wrong the Switch version is worthless to. But at least you have a controller option. For the most part it fails at teaching and rhythm by having you Cover up the whole screen to press a character.

There is so much more wrong with this. Just know I speak and read Japanese up to a N2 level easily. I love DDR, Guitar Hero, and pretty much every rhythm game ever made. I feel as if this app fails in both education and fun.

Great foundation for learning Japanese!!

I love this app because it makes learning the Japanese alphabet fun and engaging! Rather than just throwing a bunch of words at you like other apps, this one builds the foundation and helps you learn how to read and speak Japanese. For another great language learning app thatโ€™s free, I very highly recommend Mango!
