### 4/5 — 舌の動きが図示されていて良いが、横面だけなのが残念。

*2024-12-17*

舌の動きが図示されているのを見て、購入しました。
舌の横面だけでなく、口の形の前面からの図示もあると、分かりやすい筈です。

仮名の発音は、普通に良いです。
仮名や単語の発音を、自分の発音と聞き比べられる機能が、非常に有難いです。
（私は発音の下手な日本人です。）

### 3/5 — 構音指導に良い

*2022-09-09*

アニメーションで口腔内の舌の動きがわかりやすいので、構音練習に良い。
ただ、単語の発音は機械的すぎるため、日本語とかけ離れてしまっているのが残念。

### 1/5 — 日本人が作ってない

*2020-02-24*

発音は微妙です。文字の筆順の出来の悪さはホラーレベルです。

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2018-12-26*

Great app with good excises

### 1/5 — It deserves NO star

*2018-12-25*

If you are new to Japanese, never try to use this App. Even if you used for a second, you will find something like:
1. Romaji spells are inconsistent;
2. Accents are wrong;
3. Stroke order doesn’t work properly;

I haven’t checked further, but these are sufficient to keep me away from this App.

### 2/5 — ちょっとヘン

*2018-04-26*

発音が違うところがある。ネイティブな発音ではない。外国人向けかな。

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2016-06-17*

全然ダメ

### 1/5 — 星０！！！

*2016-01-18*

発音の参考になるかと思って購入しましたが、まるでダメです。動画は全く役に立ちませんでした。
単語の発音もおかしいし、ちゃんと専門家がついて作成しているのでしょうか？スタッフに日本人もはいってないのでは？！
お金を取るクオリティではありません。返金して欲しいぐらいです。
