### 1/5 — 楽しいけど残念な事も

*2021-03-22*

前は問題なしでした。しかし最近なぞり、3択、かるたのどれをやっても頑張り表に「0」と表示されます。2年、3年も同様です。また、かるたの枚数を12枚に増加して下さい。2年、3年も同様です。但し、2年、3年のアプリにはこの様なデータは書かれていません。このアプリのみとなります。

### 3/5 — 広告が…

*2019-04-20*

とてもよいです。
シンプルでいて、書き順もしっかり学べます。

が、広告がこども向けではないものがまれに出ます。
それだけがとても残念です。

### 4/5 — Wow

*2018-12-01*

Cool.

### 4/5 — So cute!

*2018-06-02*

I love this. I wish it had more kanji. I can’t believe they included a karuta game! I’m excited to see this app grown in the future.

### 5/5 — バージョンアップお願いします

*2017-10-06*

IOS11に対応していないと
表示が出ます

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2016-12-07*

Perfect! and so fun!! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

### 2/5 — Great for young kids

*2015-05-19*

...but I mean young kids who are learning Japanese as their PRIMARY language. Also, if you are only going to have 18 kanjis as a free version, you might as well not include the other excluded kanjis in the dictation test!

### 4/5 — Entirely in Japanese

*2014-06-05*

I love this app! It has the japanese at osphere that you don't get with a lot of apps- it forces you to recognize all of the kanji and kana in the app to get around. The only problem I have is that the pictures representing different kanji are a bit unclear. For example, the picture for 人 (person) is of an entire family, and without my previous knowledge on the kanji, I would think that I am learning the word for family instead of person. But otherwise, it's fun and interesting!

### 5/5 — Great interactive app

*2014-04-17, version 1.2*

This is a brilliant way to practise writing kanji. Many apps show you kanji and translate to English but this one shows you stroke order and gets you to practise writing them. Great!

### 5/5 — Really good

*2014-03-01*

Too bad it has only 18 kanjis...
