### 4/5 — Pretty decent

*2025-08-17*

it’s actually very helpful in helping you learn how to correctly do the strokes and the right shapes. but basically… don’t use this with your finger at all. use an Apple Pencil or some stylus. better yet, just practice on paper with a good old fashioned pen.

### 2/5 — Slightly hard

*2021-08-24*

Recommend to everybody learning Japanese. However it is Kind if buggy.

### 3/5 — This is a nice way to practise writing kana

*2020-06-06*

I wish I could practise with the template first. I know my kana well and write them daily but my writing is terrible, I’m not sure showing me how I should have done it is helping

### 1/5 — Fun but huge bug...

*2018-01-04*

It’s fun to practice and try to get perfect characters, but I practiced the な too many times and it won’t work anymore. Anytime I press な character to practice it, the game restarts. I can’t practice it and it’s the only character I don’t have a great score on. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-05-31*

Some of the characters are bugged. a and wo of hiragana won't give me more than a 50 no matter how many times I do it or how close my character is. For wo I literally had it match all most 100% and still got a "bad" rating. Same problem with ro and ko in katakana. Yo in katakana is the worst. I can't get it to give better than a 0 unless I write it out of order.. this was supposed to be for credit in class, I guess if everyone has the same issue she'll let it fly, but this is ridiculous.
