### 5/5 — Wrong translation (not sure)

*2021-06-13, version 3.0*

It’s a good app but I’m confused about the translation off no I know it’s means Ie but it says kekko des

### 5/5 — AWSOME!!!

*2013-08-05, version 2.4*

That helps me learning Japanese, awesome app! I do recommend.

### 2/5 — Romanized Version Doesn't Match

*2013-05-30, version 2.4*

This app might provide some useful words and phrases, but the romanized version of the phrases often don't seem to match the Japanese character (hiragana) version.  For example, the romanized version for one phrase is: "Watashi Wa", while the hiragana actually says (in Japanese): "Watashi no Namae wa".  Differences like this make no sense at all.  It's almost as if the people who put the app together don't really know Japanese...

### 5/5 — Nice

*2012-06-30, version 2.3*

Awesome app!!

### 1/5 — Playing up

*2012-04-02*

Words and hiragana are different on most words is this a mistake or sloppyness on your behalf???

### 5/5 — Amazing !!!

*2011-06-05, version 1.1*

I love world nomads! It's really easy to use with its simple lay out! You need to do a "plus" app for Japanese 

### 3/5 — Onegai Shimas

*2011-04-22, version 1.1*

Onegai shimas upgrade this app and I'll give this a 5 rate pls add some more phrase

### 3/5 — Sloppy

*2011-04-17, version 1.1*

In several cases the Japanese hiragana do not correspond to the Roman transliteration.  Someone was very sloppy.

### 2/5 — Needs Work

*2011-03-13, version 1.1*

Potentially a good app. Simple layout and easy to navigate/use. 

Don't quite understand why the romanization doesn't reflect what is written in Japanese? It's like two completely different sentences in places. Other criticism is the romaji needs work.

### 4/5 — Very good

*2011-03-08, version 1.1*

O havent listened to or read it all yet but so far what i knoe is all correct, numbers 1 to 10 are deffinately translated right and ao is the rest ive heard, very useful app it could do with the audio for everything and more phrases though...
