Hopes dashed - immediate letdowns
I just bought this app, and I’ve noticed that it has some pretty serious issues. I began a quiz, but the bottom choice (the 4th of 4 in a multiple choice quiz) is cut off, and you only see a thin slice of the very top of that word.
Also, each page of the quiz needs to be centered. Currently, it’s too far to the right.
Each page of the guide needs to be centered. They are currently too far to the right.
The settings page needs to be centered. It’s too far to the right.
The home page seems centered, but there’s somethign at the top-right that seems to need moving over to the left. Right now it appears to be cut off.
I really wanted to just dive right into this app, but with selection in quizzes being cut off, there’s no point in trying right now, until the app receives a thorough revision and update.

Review
A nice APP for learning Japanese vocabulary.
Not functional
Only three of the four multiple choice answers show up on my screen, must not be suitable for smaller phone screens. I have an iPhone SE.
Needs a ‘remove word button’
There are a lot of words that I do not want to learn At All so I am a little upset that I don’t have an option to Remove words from the flash card list. That would make this app 5 star.
I a visual learner, so this helped my with learning kanji really well but the spoken words do not want to stick in my mind compared to learning words with pictures.

Doesn’t fit on screen
I also have an iPhone SE and parts of this app doesn’t fit on my screen. I like this app, however, it’s rather annoying when I can’t select the right answer. I hope this can be fixed in the future.
Good for vocab
Good study tool for vocab but when using the quiz now, the forth option is cut off from selecting. Maybe it’s only for phones with larger screens? (Have an iPhone SE)
Great app
I would be prepared to pay for this app, but it doesn’t fit to the screen of my iPhone 7. Please sort it out. This app is fantastic for quizzing myself on vocab!
Good but desperately needs proofreading
The quizzes are good how those are broken out into 3 types, but there are some rough edges. Several example sentences are unrelated to the study word, and the translation of some words are wrong, eg 生物 = raw food, when it should be living thing. The is no furigana for the examples, so sometimes it’s hard to work out the readings. All these slow or hamper the educational benefits of the app. The app developer could be more responsive to feedback. I still lean on the side of recommending the app for the variety of drills offered, but I really wish it gets a brush up by an expert to improve the educational value.

软件很好，但…
是不是因为这次更新的缘故，我几个果5都看不到第四个选项了，只能选前三个😂
Disappointingly worsened
My previous review was below but now I think there is a bug and loads of the answers are incorrect with no option of selecting the correct one - ie I was drilling myself the WRONG Japanese and there is no way other than review of contacting the developer. It’s deteriorated disappointingly.

Can't believe no one has reviewed this app, it is excellent. I love the reverse function ie English to Japanese and the fact that you can read ALL the words you've done contextually in proper sentences. There is a function to hear the word which is effective if you wish to. Overall I find it simple, effective, engaging, fun and cute! My favourite study app so far - and I have loads:) . K

Great way to build vocabulary
Great tool to help you build vocabulary in both spoken and written format. However, you’ll probably make better use of this app if you learn the Japanese alphabet and some basic grammar beforehand.
Unfitted screen
I used to like this app, very good for studying kanji. However, after updating, the app's screen is too big for my 5S screen. If you have a small screen iPhone (earlier than ip6), don't update the app.
Good
Good practice but the pronunciation voice sound is not something you want to replicate or even pay attention to. The reverse mode is by far the best for studying. Wish there was a way to group words more easily than favorites.
Great app, highly recommended
Very helpful for learning vocabulary. But I wish there was an option to quiz with all words for each level. The 100 words per quiz limit is too small. Need to take the quiz more than 6 times before all the words will appear. But other than that, I'd say it's a perfect app. 5/5
Love the audio and quiz option
I go through the quizzes to learn my vocabulary and I find it extremely helpful to have hiragana katakana and kanji all on one page. Thanks for a wonderful app!
Quick, easy, perfect
I just love this little app. You get a lot of words for free, plus there are three modes. It doesn't have SRS or anything too fancy but your word familiarity is ranked by 0 to 3 stars so you get to "level up" your words.

It's Need to have easier way to learn kanji..
Great for vocabulary !
This app is great when it comes to learning new words in Japanese, as well as a variety of useful kanji. However, it does not go in to depth on how those words are, or can be, conjugated when used in sentences.
Great for memorizing lots of vocabulary
Some formatting issues in the word explanations, but still a fantastic app! Comes with 669 words free, almost 8000 in the full version. Very happy I found it.
Not bad
Pretty useful but room for improvement. Multiple choice makes it easy to think you know vocabulary just by eliminating the wrong answers. Would be nice if could quiz only on words marked as favorite.
