### 5/5 — 很好

*2026-03-23*

推荐大家使用

### 4/5 — 建议改变五十音图的字体

*2020-10-27*

会用这个软件的相当一部分都是初学者。软件使用类似楷书的字体，笔画勾连，会让初学者的学习受影响，不利于记忆。
建议使用那种最常见的印刷体（不要笔画勾连）

### 5/5 — 提个建议

*2020-10-22*

在使用分屏功能的时候过一会儿侧边栏就会跳出挡视线！希望能快点修复

### 5/5 — 提个建议

*2020-05-22*

播放单音相当于单曲循环，全部播放相当于全部循环播放，希望可以多个选项，来个随机播放，随机念到某一个语音，直到全部播放。

### 5/5 — 太棒了

*2020-05-14*

完全免费，还能听发音，应该很快就能学会

### 5/5 — 简洁好用

*2019-12-05*

### 5/5 — 可能是最适合初学者学日语的软件

*2019-10-17*

这款软件很适合初学者学日语～不用翻课本，很方便了。只能学五十音，希望开发语法句子的学习。

### 5/5 — 让人脚踏实地学习的一款软件

*2019-08-21*

清爽的设计、很少的广告，能让人认真背五十音图！本人花了一个暑假，成功掌握了五十音图

### 5/5 — 好用！

免费软件就不说了，五十音所有发音以及写法都涵盖了，对练习发音很有帮助～赞一个！
