User reviews

This Kana Trainer really helps you learn quickly!

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!

Good but

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

Mauvaise reconnaissance de l’écriture

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.

Ottima!

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.

Double tap Apple Pencil enabled

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
