User reviews

ウーム

実用的かと思うが、正直言って使いにくい。
合成音声が聴きにくい。ほ。も。が同じ発音に聞こえる。
これなら、他のひらがなアプリの方が、はっきり分かります。

ロボット

音声があまりにもロボットのように不自然でした。
しかも「ほ」の発音が「も」になっているという致命的なミスもあり、正直学習には使えるレベルではないように思いました。

Not worth it

One can barely hear the distinctions between the sounds. In the particular groups across the board they sound the same. They need a real voice not a mechanical one. Don't waste your money.

フリーズするか?

他のレビューを見つつもDLしたけど、まったくフリーズしない。
iPadとiPad2のどちらも試したが同じ。

それよりも、設定画面内でPlus版やPro版を勧めているが、このクオリティで15,000円を出す人間はいないと思う。

この分野は足が早いから、このレベルではすぐにフリーソフトが追い越して行く。

Needs better sound

Not a bad idea for an app but unfortunately the one thing it should do; read out Japanese kana, sounds terrible. The sound bytes are not very good or clear and when saying a word and has awkwardly disjointed pacing. At least it's free.
