After 3 years of usage, it disappoints.
The main issues with this app that I have noticed after using it for 3 years are the following two things: 1. Spelling errors. English and Japanese spelling errors occur in JLPT vocabulary flashcards as well as the Essentials lesson flashcards. I would say that about 1 in 75 flashcards have an error. These have all existed for years and are still here which is very disappointing. For people who don’t know better, these dozens of errors may become ingrained into their knowledge and could take them a long time to weed out. 2. Discrepancies in definitions between flashcards/lack of consolidation. This issue is everywhere in the vocab flashcards. For example(and i could give 100+ examples), if you type the present tense conjugation of the japanese verb 出す(dasu), 出します(dashimasu), into the search bar, 4 individual flashcards will pop up for that verb, but all 4 have different definitions which are: 1. Send. 2. Take out/withdraw. 3. Hand in. 4. Run. If you get a japanese to english question for one of these flashcards, you wont know which of the 4 english definitions to type, so you get the question wrong unless you are lucky or you already know all 4 definitions. This needs to be simplified or streamlined or consolidated in some way, or else it makes learning a lot harder.
Other than these two significant issues that hold it back a lot, the app is great.

I like it
Please add a select option
The app is very good overall but it’s very tiring and long to select one by one each word or kanji that I want to study to put them in a list. Please add a select option to make everyone’s study easier. It’s probably easy for you to do and it’s going to improve the app a lot.
Thank you
Thank you
Great App
Great for learning kanji, only problem with the app is that you can’t mass add kanji to a list, you have to go and individually select
Great app
I use this for my intensive Japanese class and it works great for the Kanji. I use the KANA app originally but when we moved to kanji I used this. Paying for the subscription or lifetime access is worth idc you plan on practicing a lot or using it for a class but just for every once in an awhile use the basic stuff is fine. Thank you for making this app. I’d say the only downside which may be my devices is the app tends to crash every once in awhile but not a big deal.

Great, but select multiple kanji?
The app is great. You can study vocab and kanji but getting started is kinda confusing, and I wish there’s a feature of selecting multiple kanji to add them to my list. If there is it’s not easy to find.
Decent app
So far it’s easy to use, tracking, quizzes are a nice touch. Only one issue not all words are labeled as polite or non. Example: anta (non polite) vs anata (polite) don’t want to come off as rude.
It costs $200
It costs…$200…
Very useful
Use every day, highly useful guide
AMAZING APP. However…
This app is GREAT for learning Japanese, and it has helped me improve a lot faster since I have experience learning Japanese before. I am VERY passionate about learning languages and PLEASEEEEEE when I say this Put a setting to where if we enter a vocab word into a list it would let us learn to write the word as a whole. Custom flashcards would also be amazing too.

vocabulary writing 🙏🏻
I really love this app, it’s useful and interesting for me. But I’d like to writing vocabulary as well. I hope that this option will be in next update
Idioma…
Deveria ter o idioma português, assim poderia considerar comprá-lo
Pro Mode
I love this app so much and I use it almost every day to get better at Kanji and it is good with that, however the only reason why I’m giving it a 4/5 is because of the Limit for things like questions. If the limit was gone this app would be so much better at least for me.
Amazing app!!✨
I think Benkyō is an amazing app because of how easy it is to learn the alphabets and kanji. Within the first day, I had already known 20 different hiragana characters. The app is fun to use and the quizzes help everything stick. This is one of the best apps for learning Japanese and I recommend it to beginners like me!

Yes
U need this
One of the best
I’ve tried many apps and this stands only equal to Anki. There is a paid version with extra features if you want, but I’ve used the free version for over a year and it doesn’t drive you crazy unlike other “free” apps.
You can learn reading and writing of kanji and vocab, and even includes the Chinese and Korean readings of most kanji! Would highly recommend to those who are looking to study Japanese long term.

ai slop
i haven’t found anything better yet but i’m def looking. There’s so much unnecessary bloat of ai ‘features’ that drive the price stupid high. And now there’s a timer for how many of the non-ai quizzes you can do?
Dictionary
Good to use when needing to write kanji and good for definitions
It was perfect
I m Persian and this program help me so much
NEED SYNC DATA OPTION
i’d give 5 stars but for the longest the app has said a sync feature is coming but has not. i’m constantly switching between my ipad at home and my personal phone during my breaks at work and want to make sure all my progress is saved under one account. please add a sync option
