### 2/5 — Mauvaise reconnaissance de l’écriture

*2024-12-02, version 1.14*

En hiragana je peux faire mes A, mes I n’importe comment ou les traits dans le désordre et ils sont reconnus. Les E, U et O qui sont des kanas simples par contre demandent une graphie beaucoup plus fine (et incorrecte). Vraiment, vraiment dommage.

### 2/5 — Needs Improvement

*2023-07-03*

I downloaded this app because I wanted more practice with writing hiragana and katakana. This app does allow you to write but the system needs major improvements. First off, there’s nothing that shows you the stroke order. Which can be pretty important. Second, if you don’t write it perfectly, it automatically counts it as wrong, which is extremely problematic. I know all the “vowels” so to speak but the writing will not show me any other characters because I can’t write the vowels perfect. And it doesn’t even show you what you’re doing wrong. Duo Lingo has a feature like this that shows you the stroke order, gives you hints when you get it wrong and has a feature to trace the characters. However in Duo Lingo you can’t practice that part whenever you want. With this app you can but it’s completely useless if it only shows 5 characters. Hope there are some major upgrades soon.

### 3/5 — Bug

*2020-08-06*

Quand tu dessine les kana sa en reconnais certaine mal 😭

### 4/5 — Good but

*2024-12-22, version 1.14*

It so nice to write with iPad . I think should be great have the square with the cross so I know where to write. The “chi” writing it always give me errors and I can’t progress

### 4/5 — Quelque ajoute

*2021-12-07, version 1.7*

Une très bonne application, pour apprendre il serait bien d’ajouter un lecteur pour la prononciation.

### 5/5 — This Kana Trainer really helps you learn quickly!

*2025-05-25*

Thanks to this app I was able to memorize the Hiragana e Katakana a lot quicker than if I had just tried to do it the traditional way. It throws up the letters randomly forcing your mind to remember and before you know it, you get through the characters really quickly… it’s amazing!

### 5/5 — Ottima!

*2024-04-30, version 1.14*

Ottima per allenarsi a leggere e scrivere i kana. Unico problema spesso non riconosce la scrittura a mano di alcuni caratteri (sa, chi, …) anche se scritti con precisione. Questo rende difficile procedere nell’apprendimento perché si rimane bloccati.

### 5/5 — Double tap Apple Pencil enabled

*2023-12-18, version 1.12*

The app let double tap and it results in eraser o white writing so is a bit confusing. This is the best apps to learn Japanese alphabet

### 5/5 — Simple et pratique

*2023-03-30, version 1.10*

L’appli est très simple à utiliser, très claire ! J’apprends les bases comme si j’étais à l’école japonaise et ça va beaucoup plus vite comme ça !

### 5/5 — È fatto troppo bene

*2021-05-24, version 1.6*

Stavo cercando qualcosa che mi potesse insegnare il giapponese e ho trovato quest’app . Li vorrei dare 8 o 9 stelle non mi piace solo che non insegna i kansi , però considerando che è gratuita è normale
