I’m a broke middle schooler who has an exchange program set up for the future and I thought this was going to help me, but I can’t pay for the subscription
Uh… :)Uh… :)

Great way to learn

Really cool app I love the design and the explanations are top tier, it’s not just a dictionary definition, it’s well put. However the subtitles sometimes don’t line up, for instance if the person takes a break from talking the subtitles keep moving on which is a bit annoying, overall great app.

Thanks for the feedback! Will look into improving this

Amazing!

I’ve felt stuck trying to memorize the alphabet, and this has literally changed the game for me! Honestly I’ve learned more Japanese since I downloaded the app, than 6 months on any other app. 100% recommend!

Don’t use duolingo

Instead use Kiku. I recommend giving it a go. I was doubtful at first. But i was pleasantly surprised! Love it!

Complicated and a little glitchy

I see how the concept could work but the app is glitchy and isn’t beginner friendly all of the videos were moving to fast.

Hey Sarah, thanks for the feedback. May I ask what parts of the app you found confusing or glitchy? It would really help me out if you could email me the details at hakeem@kikulang.com so that I can improve the experience :) As for the beginner videos, that's definitely something I'm working on. We will soon have a much-improved algorithm and easier videos for beginners. Thanks for giving Kiku a shot, Hakeem

Great App for a Fair Price

I see people complaining about the the pay wall but this app is definitely worth the money. You even get a 7 day free trial that you can cancel at any time. For about $50 a year which is like $4 a month you get access to videos with word time syncing, ai grammar breakdowns, example sentences, definitions, the different pronunciations of a word and auto generated flash cards that you can review at anytime whenever you click on a new word. Another feature that I love is that there a watch history / save feature so if you accidentally close the app you can find the video you were watching
again. Another awesome thing is that everytime you review a word it’s color progresses from
white (new) to dark orange (mastered) through multiple stages. One thing I do have to note is that sometimes the app will close when clicking on a word while scrolling. Another thing is that sometimes the AI description won’t generate but there’s an easy fix. Just click on the definition button next to the AI one and click back. It should be fixed after doing this 1-3 times. Overall a great app and I highly recommend it 🔥

This is such a good idea and has so much detail

One of the best apps for me

This app is really good for people that use tiktok and instagram reels as they doom scroll a lot on tiktok and reels and this app uses that scrolling feature but for learning Japanese language. This app provides different short form content of Japanese language and has the translations and how to say it aswell as the grammar too. Honestly one of the most underrated apps I e used for learning a language. This will get big with time and more people coming towards the app. 10/10

Needs a free version or one-time purchase

Saw this app on YouTube and thought it looked pretty cool, but of course I should’ve known it’s another app locked behind a monthly subscription. We really are to the point where you will own nothing and be happy about it. I would consider using this app if there was a free version that ran ads or had limited functionality, or if the app was a one time purchase rather than a subscription. It’s simply not something worth paying for monthly.

Response from developer

Hey Shadeyyy, there is a 7-day free trial, so you can test if it's worth it for you. I built this app after years of figuring out how to learn Japanese by myself, and put everything I learnt from that experience into this app. I genuinely believe you can go from 0 to fluency with it. Hope you give it another shot :)

Ehh

It’s hard to say whether this app is good or not due to the immediate pay wall. If it was actually free I’d see the potential

Response from developer

There's a 7-day free trial, so you can see if it's for you before paying. Hope you give it a go 🙏

Amazing!

I love the app! It’s fun and it’s very creative it’s a way for beginners to learn about there favorite anime’s or shows by just scrolling truly an amazing app!

Learn Japanese fast!

A week in and I’ve already learned and remembered so many words! This way of learning Japanese is so superior to any other method I’ve tried. It’s super immersive and I’m excited to keep learning
