Great app

It’s a nice beginning app for learning Japanese. I like that there are native speakers who assist with pronunciation in the app. It’s definitely worth the $.

App abandoned by developer

I am editing my original review of this app (which was stellar, it IS the best I have used by far) because it has been completely abandoned by the developer and there is no support whatsoever. It would be one thing if it were a one time, lifelong access purchase, but is an expensive subscription and you lose access to your completed chapters the moment you stop paying.
I started using the app in 2014-2015, the only update I saw was a couple lessons added when devs had to overhaul their apps for iOS13 or lose compatibility. At that time Mirai devs saw the reviews and realized they had to give us something.
I have tried contacting them twice before committing to a 6 months subscription (less expensive than month-to-month), I never got a reply.

Brilliant

A great app which covers the basics really well with clear translation and exercises to keep you coming back for more. I love it

With just a few lessons you can learn so much and the lesson are short enough to retain the information easily… keep practicing is all I’ll say… the more you learn the more you want to learn.

ありがとございます

What happened to the flash cards?

Great app! But, I came back after not using the app for a while, and can't find the flash cards anywhere. Am I just missing something that should be obvious, or did you get rid of them?

Still an amazing app!

It’s a great starting point for learning how to talk in Japanese and make sentences. The lessons are very easy to understand 🙌
