## What is JLPT Vocabulary?

JLPT vocabulary gets hard when kanji, readings, examples, and review live in different places. JLPT Vocabulary keeps N5-N1 study in one focused app, with 7,700+ words, furigana, romaji, audio, examples, stroke order, quizzes, and SRS review.
Search by kana, kanji, or English, then bookmark tough words, add notes, and bring them back in review before class, on the commute, or in the weeks before your exam.
Trusted since 2013 by Japanese learners and teachers worldwide.
Download free. Upgrade levels when you're ready.

### 1/5 — They stole my money

*2021-08-19*

I purchased a level and I just get empty page .
And they are impossible to contact

### 1/5 — what did I pay for?

*2021-06-20, version 2.3*

I bought all the sets jlpt.  Why is only free available if I bought all the words?  Why are there no other words that I bought?

### 1/5 — Scam

*2020-10-11, version 2.3*

Purchase doesn’t work

### 1/5 — USELESS and still beta version

*2020-08-27, version 2.3*

USELESS app: I Bought the full version and I am very disappointed. The sound does not work. 0 features.  Better print out a vocabulary list from the web.

### 4/5 — This is very useful app, but...

*2015-12-08, version 2.0*

But I need the "Search"
Maybe many people want to add the function.

매우 유용한 앱이지만 검색기능이 필요합니다. 아마 많은 분들이 이 기능을 원할것 같아요

### 3/5 — Needs a Few Features...

*2015-09-30*

Looks better than other JLPT test apps. I would prefer this one if it had a few more features...
It would be nice to be able to turn off the furigana. Additionally, I'd like to see a flash card option (once again, with and without furigana).

### 4/5 — Jlpt

*2015-02-07, version 2.0*

Best app ever for jlpt4.
Why not enrich it With full sentences quizz
