Amazing

This app changed my life, for the better. In fact, you could say it saved me. I was swimming at the local pool when some inflatables floated over my head- I couldnโ€™t breathe. I could feel the life draining out of me and was welcoming death when Japanese Katakana pulled me out of the water and performed life-saving CPR. If it were not for this app, my four beautiful children would have grown up without a mother. Thank you!!!

sounds

the sounds r kinda creepy to me idk why but its loud and distracting yk

Best app for learning Katakana

I like the songs in this app for learning the letters, it motivates me to learn.

Really great

Awesome!!! The rhythm and the songs really help it get stuck in your head! Thanks so much.

I already know kata n hira

It was annoying and I couldn't focus from the sounds

Fun app

Itโ€™s a fun useful app, but having at least basic knowledge of katakana/hiragana is an absolute must otherwise youโ€™ll be lost.
Definitely worth a download.

Great! With one request

Love this and the hiragana app! My child always asks to play it...and has started applying it to read Japanese story books.
Would love to see expanded vocabulary in future versions and perhaps katakana words which are actually used in Japan. Instead of akachan, maybe use appurupai,(Apple pie) kohi (coffee) miruku (milk) keiki (cake) etc. so the learner can actually apply the katakana to real-world experiences.

Helped me learn

Thank you for making this app! I know it's for kids, but I am a 30 year old English speaker that has learned a considerable amount of katakana from your application. I also learned the words from this app. A-a-akachan! A! A!

Great app

If you want to learn katakana this is a great app and very effective for studying for tests :)

Excellent!

Excellent and fun app for learning katakana!

Great app

Helped me out a lot!

Bring back old sounds

My son loves this app, and has learned a lot from it, but ever since the last update it no longer makes a sound when you complete a line when drawing the symbols- he keeps asking me why it's not making the sound anymore and doesn't even want to use the app now that the sound is gone. Is there any way you can put the sound back in?

Helps a lot!

I was so confused when i learnt Japanese for the first time. I thought it was hard to write the letters. But then I found this app and this changed my mind. Now writing Japanese becomes so easier! The step-by-step explanation is what I love from this app. But it would be much better if there is an explanation in English--because I am a beginner and can't understand what it says in Japanese.

ehh

at its core its a great app but its so buggy to the point that it sometimes makes it hard to actually use it

Love it

Very helpful!

Helpful!

Seems like it's made for Japanese children, but still helpful for me in learning katakana!

very funny and instructive

ok, i already studied kana and hiragana way back but never really practiced it much, this app and the hiragana are putting me back on game. not good for first ever contact but great to acquire quickness with assimilation of phonetics to alphabet

Good

App rat hay cho nguoi moi bat dau

It might confuse you

Okay well for those of you who want to learn how to write in katakana, click on the first option in the app, and then click on any of the options listed to do (like the: a, i, u, e, o, or ka, ki, ku, ke, ko, etc) and it'll teach you how to write it!!! Hope this helps!! (:

Makes no sense.

I downloaded this to help me learn Katakana, because I can't read it, yet every single menu button and instruction is in Katakana?
