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 🙌

👍

It really does the job

hii!

i’ve used so many japanese learning apps and none of them come close to this one i’d love to see them make a app for french as well :)

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

This app is literally the only app that helped me to understand and learn Japanese. Please make a Korean one as well if you will:)

Amazing!

I listen to this app on the way to work everyday and it’s so easy to learn. It truly takes you step by step on the basics. Out of all the apps I was able to find this one I stuck with. I will be purchasing the whole package because of how amazing it is.

Bar far the best

Are you still supporting this? Please put the flash cards back.

Romanji again?

I tried many sources, and so far this is a very well organizes app. However, why do the quizzes use english letters (romanji) when we are studying Japanese? This is counterproductive and annoying.

Great app, but

I really like the layout and other people’s reviews but however, the downside is, the person who had made this app Is not making new lessons since I think the other guy had said 2014? And the app owner replied more lessons are production and will be coming out soon. This is 2019! How much longer they will keep us waiting? What’s keeping Tom? If Tom the one who made this app? I had emailed and sent the email to them but no reply, I had saw they’ve read it but no reply. Weird. Also their dictionary app had been gone from the App Store. Where are you why you did not finish making lessons for us? How much longer I have to wait for. The Olympic Games will be next year in Japan, that’s what you told us and your goal is to have us be fluent. Please tell me exact date when you put more lessons and read my email. Thank you. I. Do like this app though PS. now it has been how meany years now and they said they are going to make new lessons and they are going to make you fluent. Scam. Scam because they didn’t kept there word. Hello Tom or who ever is the developers you had said that I will get fluent in Japanese but no new content. How long you will keep us waiting for? The Olympic Games are in few days. Did someone killed Tom? What happened to u Tom. This is 2021 now

Love it!

I really love this app it’s great for learning how to make sentences but I think this is a great SUPPORT app so I recommend having another app to go along with this one!

Best way to learn Japanese

I absolutely LOVE this app! I have 0 complaints. I don’t get ads as far as I can remember, and I am ACTUALLY learning something. Everything is pre-planned, and it is a working system. It shows you the category, example is time. It shows you how to say it, examples of how it is said, and shows you details you would or would not notice and explains it. I am learning at a fast rate, which may be hard to believe lol.
But seriously, it JUST TAKES DEDICATION!

Scam

Spend like 6.99 for the whole thing in like 2010. Now, it requires a subscription? I already paid. Scam!

Very helpful but there’s just one problem

I like mirai Japanese. I use it to learn grammar as well as vocab. The interface is neat and intuitive and the lessons are comprehensive however it would be very helpful if there was a way to take tests to check your grammar skills. It’s good that it has a quizz section for vocab, hiragana and katakana. But I find myself wishing the exams focused on grammar as well. It would be very useful if there was a section that quizzes what you understand from each lesson regarding the grammar. The exams are always about vocab and the number of syllables in a word but I want my grammar skills to be checked as well

Made learning easier

I love the thorough explanation of each word taught and in the quiz section is a bonus. Love it.

Amazingly good and underrated

This app brought me from a very beginner level to an intermediate beginner in the span of about a week (and for anyone wondering, thats extremely good), I only wish that I lived in an alternate dimension where they hadn’t stopped updating it almost 7 years ago. Still, super worth it and super cheap for its worth.

Won’t complete lessons

I’ve read and listened to most lessons but they won’t mark as completed, so I can’t take any of the quizzes. It keeps saying “you must complete all previous lessons and quizzes before unlocking this one.” I’m not going to pay for this if it won’t let me take the quizzes—not going to take that risk.

Best app to learn Japanese ever

Love it .
