User reviews

Very simple and easy to understand

This app is honestly very easy to use and extremely useful when learning Japanese Kanji. It not only gives you the readings and examples of Akanji, but you can also practice writing in the same place. Very useful for people studying for JLPT exam. Great app.

I am giving it four star out of five because I wish there was a mood or a feature where apart from categorising the Kanji for JLPT, which is very useful. I also wish there was a categorisation based on what the Kanji’s mean. For example, categorising Kanji that is used for numbers, telling time, physical movements, architecture, vehicles, and stuff like that where you can select that particular category and also learn based on the actions that you do in your daily life.

Response from developer

ありがとう!! Thank you so much for your feedback and for taking the time to write it! We’ve just added exactly that feature in the latest app update! I’d encourage you to update the app and give it a try! We’re always open to more suggestions and improvements. Thanks to your feedback, the app will keep getting better and better! 😊

Old review had over-glanced a few things. It’s not just a monthly payment. There is a one time.

Old review: I actually love the design with this app. The functionality is great. However, what should be a maybe at most $5 feature, is stuck behind a monthly paywall just to see the definition of the kanji. I have been trying to get rid of every monthly expense I have. Please let us just own this feature for a slightly more expensive price without monthly payments. Thank you.

Edit: Sorry for backlashing earlier on the monthly. I totally glanced over the lifetime at first. It was my fault. Thank you for reading over the original review! It shows you actually care.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I completely understand your concern. I’d just like to point out that we also offer a Lifetime plan, so there’s no recurring subscription, and it’s priced lower than many similar apps. I’d also like to mention that I’m an indie developer. Building and continuously maintaining this app has taken hundreds of hours, and I also have to cover costs such as Apple’s fees, development tools and marketing. Pricing it any lower would simply make the app unsustainable. I genuinely appreciate your feedback, and thanks for giving the app a try.
