Not only 1 year plan ### 3/5 — Font size too small *2026-07-21, version 5.8.7* Unable to read most text and kanji on my iPhone 17. Have changed iPhone settings with no effect. Please address ### 4/5 — Solid when it works *2026-06-29, version 5.8.6* The app is solid, when it works. I have repeated Ben logged out, and when I try to log back it, it says my account or password is incorrect. I have a verified email, but when I try to send a password reset, it says it is not verified. Customer support is a joke, it is a Facebook messager, and it always say no one is at work right now but they will get back to me. By the time I hear back, my password has worked, and I am back in for a while. I paid for a year because I liked the app and how it works, but this is a chronic issue. I don’t know if it is a glitch, a bug, or what, but I never get any kind of answer from the ‘support’, I just have to wait it out. ### 4/5 — I❤️MochiKanji! *2026-06-04, version 5.8.5* MochiKanji is a really good app to learn Japanese kanji! I like how it says what the kanji looks like and it’s really helpful! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I would really like the romanized version for the vocabulary so that I know if I’m pronouncing the words right. But otherwise, it’s really good!!!! ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2026-05-25, version 5.8.4* Does a great job of Gamifying! ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-05-24, version 5.8.4* Just started but it seems nice :) ### 3/5 — Definitely requires more effort *2026-05-24, version 5.8.4* The app seems like a great starting point for many learners. An introduction to a lot of Kanji, some example sentences with the words so you can understand them in context somewhat and a sort of SRS system that you do multiple times per day to shift up words to different levels of familiarity. The app, like others have mentioned doesn't deal with grammar so, you'll need another resource for that, like TokiniAndy's Genki Grammar on YouTube or Game Gengo on YouTube as well. The problems with this app start to arise when you try to actively recall the words you "learn" without seeing the words or answer choices. Multiple times you will have to go back and refresh the words raw to make sure they stick in your active recall. The translations are definitely AI Generated and can help with the jist of things but aren't the end all be all. The creator of the app isn't a native Japanese either so, a lot of issues arise because things will just be incorrect. Lastly, The app requires a pay to use feature that's a subscription based model. You have to go to their actual website for the app to get another option for subscriptions. Overall, the app is ok. Its cool and is a little better than Duolingo. Make sure you use other resources because the truth is, an app isn't going to get you fluent and requires months and months of effort to be effective. ### 3/5 — Just feels like a rip off of Duolingo… *2026-05-23, version 5.8.4* It’s ok I guess but everything like the layout is the same as Duolingo ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2026-05-23, version 5.8.4* It’s so easy to understand! ### 4/5 — iPhone 12 Mini bug *2026-05-21, version 5.8.4* Some of the screens don‘t fit on the iPhone 12 Mini, which is quite frustrating. Otherwise, it‘s a great app for learning Japanese. ### 5/5 — Needs Fixing *2026-05-17, version 5.8.4* I really wanted to love this app! In fact, I did, but only for about five minutes. I tried it one two devices and on both of them, I can only get to the screen which asks you how many day strikes you wanted to commit to and the continue button was hidden and there is no way to scroll up to see it. I’ve ran into that problem in almost all Japanese see Learning apps. It’s like it’s only optimized for larger devices. Not everyone has the pro version. Please make sure it is possible to keep going without having to close out of the app. I am willing to change my review once that’s fixed. ### 2/5 — Avis Mochi Kanji *2026-05-11* L’application est mignonne mais je la trouve pas très efficace. Les cartes mémorisées il y a un mois (voire une semaine) n’apparaissent plus du tout. Pourtant je les ai déjà oubliés ! On ne peut pas paramétrer le système. Les choix de réponse sont faciles. On peut facilement deviner la réponse parmi la sélection de choix car elles sont complètement différentes. Donc on valide la carte puis elle n’apparaît plus. Aussi certains kanjis de niveau JLPT N2 ne sont pas présentes. Et il y’a parfois des bugs lorsqu’on donne une bonne réponse elle indique mauvaise réponse. En bref je ne conseille pas vraiment pour ceux qui souhaitent l’utiliser comme révision pour préparer le JLPT (en tout cas N2). C’est plus pour débutant / loisirs. J’espère que ça évoluera avec le temps ! **Developer response:** Thank you for your responses and suggestions.

It’s been “fixed” a couple of times but it reverts back. Though i love the app and how easy I can understand it to learn I still love the app. ### 5/5 — Love the style *2026-04-22, version 5.7.33* This is such a cute app. I saw it reviewed on YouTube and decided to try it out.

It is telling me my password isn’t correct, it signed me out, and it won’t let you reset your password. I paid for three years and am very frustrated because I use the app daily. ### 1/5 — Tự nhiên thêm cái rung rung mỗi khi chọn đáp án *2026-04-28* Tự nhiên thêm cái rung rung mỗi khi chọn đáp án. Phiền toái **Developer response:** Chào bạn, bản update mới nhất của MochiMochi có thêm tính năng bỏ rung rồi nè. Mình vào phần cài đặt để chỉnh nhaaa ### 1/5 — I got scammed *2026-04-11, version 5.7.33* I got charged twice for a 1 year subscription on MochiKanji and received NOTHING. No access, no subscription, nothing at all. This is unacceptable. Either fix your system or stop charging people. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — $50 minimum Subscription *2026-03-03, version 5.7.30* There is not enough value here to even come close to justifying that price tag. I wouldn’t spend that even for a 1 time purchase. ### 1/5 — Don’t recommend *2026-01-16, version 5.7.30* Constantly logs me out, when I try to log back in it says my password is Incorrect only for it to work fine an hour later… hard to utilize a study tool that doesn’t want to launch. ### 1/5 — Perdi minha conta e gastei 264 reais *2025-12-30* Simplesmente depois de 2 dias no app Perdi meu dinheiro simplesmente não tá fazendo login **Developer response:** We are sorry for your unhappy experience.

The issue has been resolved. Please update to the latest version and give it a try. ### 1/5 — Just annoyingly bad *2025-09-18* This app is just bad in every way. Loud and annoying sounds, silly background music and an ineffective learning algorithm. Also they don't say where their data comes from - explains why there are so many weird translations. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.

With MochiKanji, it’s been a lot easier to practice and remember the words I learn, being able to come back to them. Even without premium, it’s still very useful, and I can’t say the same about many other language learning apps. To the developers, thank you! To the people considering downloading, do it! I haven’t seen an app quite like this one on the App Store, and I’m happy I found it ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-05-28, version 5.8.4* Great for learning vocab and kanji!! And super cute! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
