Great for learning vocabulary

This app focuses on kana and vocab, doesn’t really have grammar lessons though. I love to use it for learning vocabulary. They only have one vocab pack for free which is greetings, but I am tempted to buy the other packs because they’re pretty cheap! I like the learning style because it makes you type out the whole word in Japanese rather than just picking multiple choice like other apps. Definitely recommend this.

Great app

I use this app on a daily basis and is helping me a lot. Although I wish it was easier to add new characters to the practice section and its also missing a couple of things.
