Response from developer
I'm glad you find this useful for your Japanese studies! Feel free to reach out if you want a promo code to try out all the premium features (if you're not already using premium).
Fascinating!
This app definitely lessens the waste of paper! But I found I was focusing more on trying to get the translation correct instead of writing! Well-developed regardless!! The Word Bank widget seems right up my alley for an everyday review of words I tend to forget, so I’ll absolutely be trying this new feature!

Thanks for your feedback. I find an effective way to use the translator is to only translate when you are not sure if your sentence is structured correctly rather than at the end of every sentence. I’m glad you like the widget, it took a lot of effort to work out how to implement them. But now that I have figured it out, I look forward to creating more. 🙂
great little app for writing in japanese!
i've been using this app a lot during my language exchanges, and i have to say its quite the lifesaver!! the grammar tab is really helpful for when you don't know how to formulate something.
Don’t Waste Your Time
Fancy design but that’s about all it has going for it. Ads are everywhere which I normally would be fine with but every useful feature of the app is paywalled. The paywall, of course, is also subscription base with the lifetime purchase being $25, a ridiculous value. I can’t even use the app to decide whether or not it’s worth $25, I get berated by a pop up telling me I need to spend $25 to even see what else is in the app.
I honestly never leave reviews but this was so appalling I had to. I understand the app is in a niche market but there are other ways to monetize your app.
EDIT:
Received an email from developer stating that they could provide a code to test out the app for a limited time by checking out their Twitter. Upon looking at their Twitter, I see a post by them calling me an entitled scum, how I don’t deserve to use their app, and soliciting people to report my review. Not a great look.
As you can’t even scroll down on some tabs of the app without being told to cough up some cash I’m not sure how the developer expects someone to buy their app without even being able to access 75% of it. I hope everyone that looks at this app sincerely reconsiders their choice and looks elsewhere.

Awesome premium features
I use this app on my iPad in my class all the time and really recommend upgrading to premium to access the text-to-speech, better translations/dictionary and reader mode.
With so many language learning apps out there, this app is a hidden gem.

Essential for Learning Japanese
I have only recently started learning Japanese, but I have found Kaku to be essential in keeping myself immersed in the language everyday. The grammar examples have helped me to understand and work with various conjugations and special word forms. The selected words make Kaku easy to use in quick situations.
A lot of love and care has gone into this app. If you have any inclinations in getting the app; do it! It is wonderful to use on a daily basis, and I know it will continue to help me in my language learning journey for a long time.

Great help for learning Japanese
This is a really useful tool for learning Japanese! The UI is very straightforward and easy to understand, and it has a lot of great, more advanced functionality too. I really recommend Kaku. Plus the icon is really cute on my home screen.
My new favourite Japanese learning app!
This app is very helpful as not only does it work as a great way to input your Japanese notes it also has a handy translation function that you can see in real time! There’s a grammar section and a helpful vocabulary section. I am so excited to see this app develop and grow! If you are hesitant about choosing an app I can only say Kaku is the one for you as it covers so much more that other apps leave behind! Keep up the great work 🥰

Best notebook replacement
I’ve just started learning Japanese and find this so useful to work through my Genki textbook with.
The best part is the dictionary search on the words I highlight and the audio output so I can practice my speaking/listening too!
