User reviews

Very Useful!

Great for reviewing, as well as a refresher. Definitely recommended. A Kanji app needs to do the same thing.

Finally an app that actually helps

I've been studying Japanese for a while and have alway struggled with the Kana. I must've downloaded and tried at least 30 different apps. This is by far the best one; and the only one that's actually been helpful for me in learning.

If you're learning Japanese then this app is a MUST HAVE!
