Would love to see dictation practice added to this app! Otherwise, it’s perfect — the best app for learning kana on iOS by far.

Не могу сказать что это достойно денег,мне кажется можно найти такое же самое только бесплатно.Оформлено некрасиво,нету разнообразия и очень скучно,программа вроде хорошая,но не заслуживает денег так точно
