I payed for the year to use the app. For some reason the quiz function doesn’t respond to to touch screen. When I try to select an answer (any answer) it does nothing and I can’t continue. The option to practice writing works fine. ### 1/5 — This thing speaks nonsense “Japanese” and can’t understand konnichiwa *2022-12-21, version 3.4.12* On the very first lesson, it wants me to say konnichiwa. I do I say it right. It doesn’t understand me. It asked me to repeat. So I gave the thing to my native Japanese speaking wife and it couldn’t understand her either. So we couldn’t get past that at all. I’m glad it was free. really the Japanese that it says or writes is complete babble. If the developers want to contact me or respond, so I know I’d be happy to entertain any suggestion and update my review and rating accordingly if necessary. Otherwise it’s getting deleted. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback. I would love to learn more about your experience and how we can prevent this from happening in future - please can you email us at hello@kaizenlanguages.com with more details? ### 2/5 — Voice recognition is terrible *2022-09-07, version 3.4.8* Great promise, but the voice recognition doesn’t work very well at all- often you will say exactly the phrase it wants, but it’ll just say ‘repeat please.’ No matter what you do- I can’t read kanji yet so I’ll bet it’s not hearing what I’m saying correctly despite the fact that I know my pronunciation is good. ### 4/5 — Corrections and keyboard issues mar interesting app *2022-08-03, version 3.4.8* Corrections often correct the wrong part of a wrong answer, telling you that you got something wrong that you didn’t and not noticing the actual error. Also, there way it handles submitting answers makes it impossible to use a hardware keyboard. There is no submit button unless you have the onscreen keyboard. ### 3/5 — It's Okay- Needs a Support Option *2022-03-21, version 3.4.6* I use this app in addition to several others, Kaizen is probably my least favorite. You have to pay to really do anything in the app which is fine if you're serious about learning, but the further you get in the lessons the more I've seen typos from incorrect words, genders, spellings & even the app marking things as incorrect that are not. It would be better if there was a way to "report" such as Duolingo has when you come across errors within the app. I can only imagine how many people have seen these errors and taken them to be true. One lesson I saw どけい being translated as clock when it is in fact とけい. When using the word "father" the speakers constantly referred to father as "she" among other errors. Lastly, the hints/suggestions it gives you for responses are very restrictive and leave little room for you to practice outside of exactly what they want you to write. The app is definitely helpful for learning but I wouldn't use it as my only method for learning Japanese. Bunpo is great for people looking for something other than Kaizen to learn. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-03-14, version 3.4.4* This is a great app, I’m stuck on the second tutorial and apparently it’s in a loop because I have a slight speech impediment. So saying “sayonara” is what gets me. Lol, I wish there was a way to do some kind of way to adjust speech recognition. ### 5/5 — Kaizen review *2022-01-21, version 3.4.4* I love this app so much!!! This app is really helpful with learning Japanese, it has made it way easier for me to mesmerize the katakana. I love how it can help you have normal conversations too!! ### 3/5 — It’s okay but could’ve improved *2022-01-01, version 3.4.2* It’s good for a first time use, until you find out that you have to pay to learn a language. Right now I’m trying to learn Japanese bad Korean, but sadly Korean is not in the list of things you can learn on this app. It’s complicated to have to pay for something like educational things and to be honest it’s kinda upsetting that I need to pay to learn a new language. I’m not saying that you should download this app but just know that you have to pay 7.99 monthly just to learn something new. You most likely would be better off using Duolingo if you can’t afford to pay monthly ### 4/5 — Keeps crashing mid lesson *2021-12-27, version 3.4.0* I’ve bought the yearly pass. I was excited to reintroduce myself back into learning Japanese again. But it keeps crashing. I will make a written log soon. I really hope this can be fixed because I love the style this is done in. It is rejoicing my mind a lot and understands my dialect really well. Good luck programmers for our sake as much as yours. ### 2/5 — Only useful thing is flash cards *2021-12-17, version 3.4.0* Trying to speak to this app is like trying to talk to a brick wall. It doesn’t even let you finish 99% of the time and tell you that you are wrong on a part you never even got to say. The 1% of the time it does let you finish it is so far off it isn’t helpful ## Frequently asked questions about Kaizen Languages ### What languages can I learn with this app?
