Great on the go. ### 2/5 — Annoying... *2019-09-18, version 5.0* Annoying that alerts about new words are sent at midnight every night ### 5/5 — yosh *2019-01-25, version 5.0* very informative ### 5/5 — Great program *2019-01-18, version 5.0* I love you yes I have tried many that were very expensive and did not teach me as well as this house this is a great way to learn it gives you options it teaches you so much about the language I really wouldn’t be using with us I would never change I will keep learning with these apps for as many as they get and I can do I do have a little trouble with one or two but my voice wasn’t made to speak but most and with the help of these I have learned the language I’ve tried an $800 one and it didn’t do as well as this so believe me when you’re looking to learn this is it there is no other thank you for reading my review it is one of them best it is the best I’ve tried at least six Programs from other makers doesn’t come close thank you Jo Wadsworth ### 2/5 — Desperately needs an update *2018-12-04, version 5.0* Premium + user of JapanesePod101. The ABUNDANT ads recommended this app, and, wanting to take full advantage of my premium+ membership I downloaded it. I have to pay for this app on top of my membership... You could at least bundle them in for premium users... Also definitely would NOT pay 9.99 for the app in its current state. Please PLEASE update for iPhone X. The entire Innovative app family could use a face lift if I'm honest. Love the content but the packaging needs some love ### 3/5 — Update *2018-11-07* It’s been 2 years without update! Plz do ot for iphone x its very ugly in my interface ### 4/5 — 还不错 *2018-09-12* 同上。 ### 5/5 — Very useful app. *2018-09-03* Great help ### 5/5 — Really helpful! *2018-08-30, version 5.0* Totally worthy for improving your japanese! ### 5/5 — Nice! *2018-08-19, version 5.0* Very Cool app! ### 4/5 — Good *2018-03-30, version 5.0* It’s good for a free app. ### 5/5 — Fantastic tool *2018-02-17, version 5.0* Now this app is a diamond in the rough! it combines a phrasebook, voiced by different people, with a visual dictionary on a flash card platform; sometimes the same word would be listed 3-4 times in a row, or pronunciation would be missing. As for improvements I would suggest adding more emotion (fear, concern, jealousy, dreaming, surprise etc.) to certain phrases (as some of them has the feature) just to enhance the context in order to make it more relevant thus providing better chances for memorizing. A feature for selecting particular words in a phrasebook would be nice (at the moment only copy of the full phrase is available) so that one can use on board dictionaries to define a word (although translation does it nicely). Five stars for putting it all together! ### 4/5 — Chevere para principiantes como yo! *2017-11-24, version 5.0* Chevere para principiantes como yo! ### 5/5 — Great app but broken with last ios version *2017-10-16* I love this app but it doesn’t work no more since last iOS update. It freezes at opening on database synchronization. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App does not work on iPhone 15 *2024-09-11, version 5.0* Can you guys work on your app so it works on all the Apple devices? ### 1/5 — It doesn't work!!! *2020-02-20* Does not work, the app is completely frozen ### 1/5 — Lame *2019-12-02* Ads everywhere and doesnt come with the japanese pos 101 membership ### 1/5 — A fun and convenient way to learn. *2016-06-28, version 5.0* Recently almost useless with city and holiday names. You may get 1 useful word or phrase a week. ### 1/5 — Annoying pop us *2016-04-06* I paid for this app and find it extremely annoying that each time it is opened I have to get an annoying pop up to join their Free 101 site. The fact that this will occur should be stated prior to purchase. until they stop thus advertising tactic for a paid app I can give I 1 star. ### 1/5 — Doesn't update daily *2015-04-12, version 4.5.2* Daily updates don't happen ### 1/5 — weird flash cards *2015-03-17* plenty of interesting lists, but they cannot be viewed or tested in sequence, what's the point of clicking right or wrong. useless until fixed, with measurable scores and efficient flow ### 1/5 — Having issues with updating the app. *2013-08-18, version 4.1.1* I can access the app when it hits 12am everyday but I can't actually access it by pressing on it and if I do it updates but can't do too not enough storage. I have 800mb left but it keeps saying not enough storage. Any help without losing all data on the app? ### 1/5 — Not loading *2013-08-08, version 4.1.1* It says its loading but it doesnt load. I cant get on it. Fix it, ASAP! If i could use it, it would be 4 stars. ### 1/5 — Hangs *2013-06-23, version 4.1.1* Hangs on the loading screen. Word of the day also started becoming a bit random, giving the names of rock bands etc. Not very helpful if you're trying to learn the language ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — By Tomas *2025-07-24, version 5.0* Good ### 5/5 — WordPower Japanese no longer open *2024-06-08* I paid for this app before.
