A company not blinded by greed

I've been using Migaku for 6 months and there is a clear and drastic improvement in my language ability. I talk to Japanese people every day and they notice the difference too. This is what happens when a company makes something that is actually designed to work effectively. If you use Duolingo, please, get rid of it as it is designed to sink you into an endless cycle of making you think you are progressing. It's a strategy to make money and not actually help you. Migaku is a heck of a commitment because if you miss days, you will have to re-review a lot of material. This is because of how the flash card system works. Showing you content right before you forget it. And yes, it actually works but you have to commit to it and it can take several hours a day to complete. But if you aren't studying that long, you won't learn. Anyway, I've said what I wanted to say. This app is the real deal. Seriously.

Excellent

Migaku has been the foundation of my Japanese learning, 9 months in and still going strong.

better than anki

seems like the modern version of Anki. There are bugs but it's about as easy as it gets to immersing in 2026

Passt für mich

Die erste App, die mich zum Japanischlernen bei der Stange gehalten hat. Ich nähere mich jetzt der Grenze von 1500 Wörtern und kann damit schon einen guten Teil einfacher Videos und Podcasts verstehen. Mein Tipp: Unter 200 Reviews bleiben.

Not the best

- The app movie subtitles only work if you use a browser, in a pc, and after downloading a extension.
- is not very intuitive, using it is quite frustrating in the beginning, not fun, not easy to use.
I think it promises more than the delivery
