This app feels like is still in beta

I’ve wanted to like this app for a while since I’ve enjoyed their Bunpo app, but this app has so many poor UI choices, incredibly narrow input options, and the inability to smoothly get practices in due to these choices. It’s a fine app, but just be prepared to deal with, in my opinion, an incomplete application that already appears to be on maintenance mode. For a paid app of this price, it’s a little ridiculous

Really good, just wish for one fix

I love this app, for the clean design and good amount of vocab to practice. I do wish that when you got the vocab wrong it would also play the audio for how it sounds too. Especially since it has kanji, so I can’t really sound the word out without the furigana to know what it was. If there was a setting to play audio on the incorrect answers to this would be perfect!
