### 5/5 — RamheadReviews

I love it because I can study the characters that I’m not good with. You can personalize the lessons which helps save time. And there’s a study part. The study part is weak to me because all you can do is read. But I still give this app a 5 because of its simplicity.

### 5/5 — Remplis magnifiquement bien ses fonctions

*2021-02-27, version 1.4*

Loins dd certaines applications non intuitive Just Kana est simple d’utilisation et m’a accompagné dans mon apprentissage du japonais, j’avais souvent la flemme de réviser l’alphabet, l’application a su m’encourager grâce aux notifications lorsque l’on passe du temps sans l’ouvrir, le classement même si je ne sais pas si il est vrai ou faux est très interessant et nous donne envie de progresser pour faire de meilleurs scores

Les pubs sont présente mais pas dérangeantes surtout lorsque l’on décide de faire des quiz avec de grands nombres de caractères.

Le fait que l’ordre de tracé des traits soit présent est un gros plus

Pour moi cette appli est a recommander et j’aimerai si possible que l’on rajoute certains Kanji a l’application, ce qui donnerai encore plus de contenu a apprendre pour nous permettre de nous épanouir.

### 5/5 — すごい
