### 5/5 — Overall delivers perfectly

*2022-07-05, version 1.1.0*

Works pretty well, katakana is free hiragana is a cheap one time purchase would recommend if your trying to learn the alphabets in a fun easy way.

### 1/5 — The romaji is wrong

*2020-09-23, version 1.1.0*

I can read kana but just wanted this app to keep it fresh... and realised that the romaji for certain letters (example, it says that フ is ‘hu’ but is ‘fu’ and it’s says that チ is ‘ti’ but is actually ‘chi’)

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-01-19, version 1.1.0*

App crash immediately after launch

*2015-02-06, version 1.1.0*

Best app. Nice design, very clean.

### 4/5 — Хорошо

*2015-01-27, version 1.1.0*

Хорошее приложение, но круто было бы добавить знаки озвончения. It's good enough, but it'll be cool to add が and ぱ.

### 5/5 — Simple elegant powerful

*2014-11-20, version 1.1.0*

Love the simplicity in design yet very effective learning tool! For busy people who have no time no patience no bandwidth to sit down and memorize the charts, this tool will get you up to speed in no time.

### 2/5 — Won't open

*2014-11-13, version 1.0.0*

App crashes as soon as you open it. This app looks promising please fix it!!

### 5/5 — Lovely! Modern! Free!

*2014-11-08, version 1.0.0*

There are literally hundreds of katakana study apps on the App Store, but 9/10 look like they were last updated in 2009. This one looks gorgeously minimal, and is super-easy to use. 

And it's free!
