Used to be amazing
App keeps crashing lately
I love it
Good app I can’t complain tbh
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

Payed
Payed for the full version a while back and not it is all locked behind a subscription.
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!

Crash
App crashes after trying to review words. No replies from dev’s support either.
Good app but don’t expect support
App serves its function as a vocabulary learning tool but for having a subscription, I expect more. When inquiring about a technical issue, was informed “Regarding technical support, we regrettably must inform you that service for Lirer is now limited to subscription-related issues at this time. The app may continue to be used as-is.” which is very concerning. If one is paying money as a subscription service, one would expect a system of continuous improvement to the experience or you might as well just pay once and be done. I don’t know the reason for why they can’t address technical issues but to the developers…please do better in this regard as the app is far from perfect. It will sometimes give you a definition to focus on and then in the example sentences, use another multiple times, the lesson quizzes may freeze up, review quizzes may slow to a crawl leading to wrong input on the following question while waiting for the screen to move on, etc… Overall, it is a good learning tool but I don’t expect it to be great in the long run if unwilling to support technical issues.

Very good
This app is super underrated. Very good
🫡good one
Super
すごい！
This app is surprisingly helpful even without a subscription! It’s super easy to use the app, and it teaches you in good detail. This app really helped me learn some basic Japanese. Not life-changing fluency, but it’s achieves really amazing results, especially if you pair it with learning Japanese on another app. Anyway, if you’re sat here thinking about whether or not to get the app, do! Try it out, it’s free and you have nothing to lose. It’ll help you master some basics.

it’s a great app but…
it is truly a good app, i just wish we wouldn’t have to pay to learn better
App no loner works
I purchased this a few years ago but the app crashes a few seconds after showing the loading screen and no loner works.
Review
Finally a good app.learned all the hiragana in 2 hours
Love, but needs improvement with reviews
Love this app and would stay subscribed to the paid plan, but reviews there are not very good… I’d love if you had to actually type in the answers like when you do in the last stages of lessons themselves. Multiple choice questions aren’t the best way for memorizing or learning the words.
Why Buy a separate Subscription when you purchased one from Bunpo?
I don’t understand why you have to create two separate accounts on each of the apps even though they do the same thing and why if I were to purchase a subscription on one of them it wouldn’t carry over. It would make the subscription more worth it since these are the same guys who made Bunpo.
Great vocab but…
Definitely should include the option for furigana. At an N5 level there’s kanji not yet known that makes learning not as easy starting out for beginners.
Very good
I really like this app. It really helps to learn the hiragana.. language.
Been using for about 60 seconds
Was asked to rate by the appp
One of my favorites
I’m enjoying the app and the way vocabulary is drilled per lesson works well for me. I find the example sentences and kanji explanations particularly helpful. The mnemonic sentences don’t do much for me, but sometimes I will reference them. I would love an option to breakdown kanji further into their radicals and parts if it lends itself to the definition. As a mnemonic device, it helps me more to understand them that way: like seeing rain 雨 in snow 雪 and electricity 電気. I would also love a better spaced repetition, as the reviews feel sparse and don’t seem to bring up the same words often enough. Overall I love the app, and I use it as my primary one for vocabulary (after having tried many apps before.) I paid to unlock everything and it’s worth the money! Thanks for the hard work!

Good style teaching
I enjoy the style it uses for teaching. I really think how they teach in this app (Hiragana, Katakana, Basic Kanji, Etc.) and they also have it set up in the format in how it’s learned in the way I would need to take a class in college for N5-N1. So far haven’t stumbled across any bugs👌. 🫡
