### 3/5 — maybe could be improved

*2026-02-02*

i like the interface and the style of learning, but there are bugs and it is not possible to report them. mainly in the study area the reading/sound doesn’t match with the actual phrase. if there was a way to report those bugs and if they could fix them would make the app more robust.

### 2/5 — Too many mistakes in N1 level kanji/vocabs. Can't copy the sample sentences.

*2025-10-14, version 5.2*

For example, in the N1 Kanji set 4: い = あらい, Should be 荒い = 荒い. てる = あわてる, should be 慌てる =あわてる. Too many typos and omitted kanjis. Also I can't copy to clipboard the sample sentences.

*2024-08-28, version 5.2*

There’s no sound when reading the grammar section, I’m connected to a string wifi connection and yet there’s still no sound. ALSO THE APP IS NOT ENGAGING. There’s no sound effect when doing quizzes or flashcard it’s just silence. I REGRET BUYING THIS APP. Please fix these problems maybe it will make the app better. Add some sound effect for the quizzes and flashcard and add some voice please!!

### 1/5 — Tốn tiền

*2025-06-07*

Nhìn sơ qua thôi mà lỗi sai tùm lâu, có những câu mà k thể hiểu nổi người dịch lúc viết nào k thấy đần độn à. Ví dụ phần ngữ pháp n2 ngay mục đầu tiên của あるいは, câu ví dụ số 3 “その男は不思議に思われるほど何も知らなかった。あるいは、話したくないのかもしれなかった。 -> Người đàn ông đó có vẻ tò mò được thông báo bị ốm, hoặc có lẽ không
muốn nói chuyện.???????? ”
Tiếng nhật ngu, tiếng việt cũng đần nốt.

### 1/5 — Rất nhiều từ bị sai nghiêm trọng

*2025-04-27*

Nhiều từ ngữ sai nghiêm trọng mà không có thể báo cáo cho quản trị viên, app này làm tôi mất tin tưởng vào app dạy tiếng Nhật này, tốn tiền và nếu người nào mới bắt đầu học không hiểu rõ nghĩa là sau thực hành sẽ sai nghiêm trọng. Tôi có chụp ảnh.
Cái từ đơn giản như 
電源を入れる lại dịch là đóng nguồn điện, con rất nhiều từ sai

### 1/5 — Apple Watch crash

*2024-12-23*

Crashes on watch. Used to work

### 1/5 — Apple Watch

*2024-11-06, version 5.2*

I’m struggling to learn from the Apple Watch app. Whenever I try to begin learning, it prevents me from doing so.

### 1/5 — Text is too small, and can’t adjust.

*2024-10-09*

Text is too small.

### 1/5 — crashing

*2024-10-06, version 5.2*

crashing

### 1/5 — Mua phần mềm

*2024-09-15, version 5.2*

Tôi đã mua gói trọn đời vào ngày 15/09/2024 với mã đơn hàng” MNHZH6K1LY” tuy nhiên không thể mở hết các tính năng của ứng dụng đề nghị app store kiểm tra lại và lên phương án bồi thường hoặc khắc phục

### 1/5 — Scam!!

*2024-08-23, version 5.2*

Walks, Talks, Feels like a Scam.

### 1/5 — Một sao

*2024-07-20, version 5.2*

Cho 1 sao vì đã đăng ký chọn đời rồi vẫn có rất nhiều quảng cáo

### 1/5 — It was good until I subscribed

*2024-04-22*

It wouldn’t appear on my active subscriptions after I subscribed, so I thought I didn’t press it well. So I subscribed a second time and I was sure my purchase was successful but still it doesn’t show on my Apple account. I wonder if I paid twice or whatever…
