User reviews

Extremely good. I would love it more if it had these three things:

I am right in the middle of learning hiragana, so I can’t speak for the entire app, but three things I would love to have are:

1. A very basic section of the app that lets me practice the basic building block strokes.

2. It would be nice if the program could show what I need to improve upon to have an acceptable attempt. The reason I would like this is because while the app is quite lenient in accepting my attempts (which I appreciate as someone brand new to Japanese!), the hiragana for [a] and [no] for some reason are extremely picky sometimes. This is why I think the first thing on my list would be helpful to have, too!

3. Another feature that would be extremely helpful is a practice mode that randomly asks me to write all to the kana I have learned so far. So instead of having to go from the pure vowel group, then moving to the ka group, then to the ra group etc., I could practice everything I’ve learned so far, at random.

Thank you!

Great app for learning how to write Japanese :)

Great app when you pay. I’ve been practicing for years lol

Amazing app

It’s an absolutely amazing app. I actually developed a habit to study with it at least once a day.
The only suggestion I have is that it would be cool to be able to see how many days in a row I’ve used the app maybe like a widget or summary in the app itself?
