Out of Date Vocabulary

A handy app for quickly referencing “most”of the chapters vocabulary but unfortunately is out of date with the current Minna no Nihongo books. Missing vocabulary and sometimes different translations are used between the app and book. Tagging buttons for flashcards also no longer work (on my iPhone at least) making the vocabulary review feature far leas optimal (you cannot choose what to review, so it choses 10 at random for you).

Would really love an updated version! :)

Surprisingly good app

Although the app is titled after the book, it has features that go beyond just revision and learning material. The vocabulary and kanji tools are some of the best on iOS I’ve seen. It doesn’t teach grammar however for what it does do it does it very well!
