Incredibly helpful

The app has been incredibly easy to use and very helpful being able to click on each individual word and look back at it later!! I’ve also not found any issues within the app in terms of translation or they’re being a word missed. It’s also really nice with learning natural Japanese and how to use particles and the sentence structure. 10/ 10 recommend this. It is really nice for easy and quick learning. It’s doesn’t feel like you’re learning out of a text book!!!!

Very nice.

I’m pretty sure you need to pay for this, but I understand they need to make money and I’d rather just pay than suffer through ads! This app has NO ads, and is very helpful for Japanese. I just want more content to be added. Maybe even a way to add my own clips would be nice?

Concept good but incorrect

Very first feed video had the subject marker は as "ha" and not "wa". I don't trust it.

Response from developer

Hello, thanks for your feedback. This was a bug with the romaji, since は is a bit special in how it's pronounced. I have fixed it now, so it should be all good next update!

Really great Japanese Learning App

Kiku is a wonderful tool to learning the Japanese language! It's become one of my favourite language learning apps with so much potential for growth.

I’ve found it genuinely helpful for remembering vocabulary and learning Japanese characters, and the app itself is simple and easy to use.

The developer is also fantastic at communicating with users, listening to feedback, and actually implementing suggestions to improve the quality and usability of the app.

It’s clear there’s a lot of care going into Kiku Japanese, and I’m excited to see how it continues to develop.
