Great App

Really useful app. Some of the mnemonics are a little odd, but I’d still highly recommend it.

I mean it’s a bit useful..

I was able to learn a little katakana on here, but the only problem is more than half of it is missing, a little is missing on Hiragana as well like what?

Awful UI

Just give a single page with all the kana in a table where you can tap on it and it opens up the memory help for that symbol. Why all this extra one-by-one stuff needing to swipe through a dozen or two symbols to find what you’re looking for

I memorised it in just 15 minutes

I was using a different app to learn both Hiragana and Katakana. I found Hiragana much more easier and struggled with Katakana. This app and its memory hints helped me learn and memorise it in just 15 minutes!

Perfect app to test Katakana

Tried and tested many many apps but this one is the best in terms of easy usability and testing any row of Katakana.

I especially am so grateful for the testing of similar katakana as they can be so confusing. Thank you A MILLION.
