It’s easy to use and it is helping with hand writing. Thank you for this amazing app ### 5/5 — super! *2026-05-19, version 1.6.9* polecanko, szybko sie mozna nauczyc podstaw💓 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-16, version 1.6.13* I think that it would not be the best app you can download because it doesn’t allow to do anything ### 1/5 — I dont know *2026-08-03, version 1.6.13* I love it but 1 star ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-05-27, version 1.6.9* Está impossível usar a apple pen nas ultimas atualizações, n reconhece as linhas e pula as tarefas sozinho, se apertar varias vezes na mesma resposta ele conta todas e reproduz o som todas as vezes que clica, feedback pelo app esta bugado tbm, só aparece a tela branca ### 1/5 — Ugh *2026-03-23, version 1.5.22* Not teaching !! ### 1/5 — … *2026-03-19, version 1.5.22* This game teach Japanese yes but it glitches to and it’s soooooo annoying ### 1/5 — why do i have to pay bruh *2026-02-19, version 1.5.22* js let me learn japanese bruh ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-01-27, version 1.5.22* Every time I write the symbols, it tells me I’m wrong because I take my finger off or I don’t hit the dots exactly or I just write it in my own way it’s annoying and it needs to be fixed ### 1/5 — Bad APP (trust me) *2026-01-19, version 1.5.22* I just learned two rows from hiragana and now I have to pay!

I think this developer is great with the language programs in general. ### 5/5 — 100x Better than Duolingo *2026-07-26, version 1.6.13* One of the best free language and writing apps for beginners in any foreign language. And one of the best free apps I’ve ever had. Progression is at the comprehensive input threshold throughout, uses spaced repetition. The hiragana writing training is brilliant. Not sure how they were able to capture accuracy scoring, but it’s perfect, just the right amount of correction without being glitchy or too strict. Uses a practical approach to vocabulary and grammar, appropriate for older students and adults. Bravo. Excellently done. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Helps me so much *2026-07-13, version 1.6.12* On Duolingo I would either use all my energy or watch a mountain of ads just to learn 1 symbol a day while this app could help me learn all the symbols in one day ### 5/5 — Play it now!!! *2026-06-27, version 1.6.12* Fun game to learn ### 5/5 — Great app, just one minor issue *2026-06-25, version 1.6.12* The only issue I had is writing や is too precise, I wrote it correctly with so many attempts yet the app consider most of my attempts to be false, that even a native Japanese writer will have an issue with it too. ### 5/5 — It makes learning Japanese easy *2026-06-15, version 1.6.12* I learned the writing system and how to write simple sentences just by using this app every day like a game to relax after work. ### 5/5 — Learning the Kana *2026-06-15, version 1.6.12* Love it. So easy to learn to read and write the Kana ### 5/5 — Very structured! *2026-06-11* Just thank you. :) That’s the best app! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-06-04, version 1.6.10* I have learnt lot of Japanese with this app and the way it helps with recall is clever because it forces your mind to remember the letter and shape just from doing one lesson! Though to get more of a flow do it same lesson a few more times and I would say you master it! 😎 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
