### 4/5 — Producer

*2014-02-07, version 3.3*

We'll done, easy to use and fun. As an adult learning Japanese I keep returning to this app because I like not seeing english translations- it also makes me laugh. Hopefully the developers will add more content.

### 3/5 — Fun, but not extensive

*2013-04-16*

It's a great app for ages 2 - 5, because of the fun colours and interesting movement by the objects, however, for the price I would expect double or even triple the number of vocabulary.

### 4/5 — Excellent start

*2012-09-06, version 1.3.1*

This is such a cute app with great animation and very clear audio. Both my toddler and I love it! It is hard to find Japanese learning apps for kids who are not developmentally ready to practice writing and I would say this is by far my favorite so far. 

Two improvements I suggested to the developers by email:
1. When a picture is touched, only allow the audio and animation to play once completely before it is played again. My toddler frequently double touches by accident (which is developmentally normal in terms of fine motor skills) which results in the audio looping over itself in an unintelligible way. 

2. Add more pages of vocab and maybe do simple sentences like greetings and things toddlers express such as likes and observations, "That's a tree, Mommy!" or "Let's go to the park!"

Thank you for this lovely app!

### 5/5 — Great App!!!

*2012-03-05, version 1.3.1*

I downloaded yesterday! I have a 16 months old daughter and I am starting to teach her Japanese. Its hard to teach japanese since we are currently in the states(English speaking environment) This app comes in English and Japanese which I was looking for! My daughter loves it already! Love cute pictures! I wish they update more pages in the future! Pleeeeease!!!

### 5/5 — So Cute and Great For My Baby

*2012-01-04, version 1.3.1*

My wife and I are teaching our children Japanese. This is a cute app to help them learn simple words like animals and toys, nature and such. We love the app and hope they keep adding more to this!
