### 3/5 — works but need to pay

*2021-06-09, version 2.0*

its great to learn but you only get a few options of animals to learn and you cant use all of them you can only use animals and to use the rest you need to pay! ridiculous

### 2/5 — Can’t buy in App Store

*2020-07-17*

Can only buy through the app itself which I don’t trust. I would love to buy it but it’s not available in the App Store. I am not willing to risk buying the add-ons in an unsecured digital location. I only buy through the App Store.

### 5/5 — Quite nice!

*2012-12-26*

For my tot boys, who are just beginning to show an interest in "that other stuff mommy says," this is a cute "game." I like the simplicity of the single drawing on a solid background, ability to turn upbeat background music on/off, clear, native speaker recording (which repeats by hitting sound icon). The Japanese word, in Hiragana, appears as the recording says it - this has been surprisingly significant, as both my kids now recognize the characters. This did not happen with a very similar flash card app, where the word appeared on top as part of the entire page. I didn't realize this was going on until I turned off the autoplay on recording (another nice feature), and discovered kids were actually READING the characters as "clues!" Nice to be able to choose between American/British/Australian accents. Wish main menu had both languages. Super cute and great value for money! Thx.
