Issues with vocabulary.

It’s a great app so far, simple and easy to use and it’s organized in a perfect way. But I’m having issues adding the words at the bottom of captions to my Vocabulary. The pop up gets completely cut off so you can’t see the pronunciation, meaning, and most importantly you can’t add it to your Vocabulary list. Apart from that the app is fantastic, but someone should look into that, that way we can take the flash cards and quizzes with those words as well. (It also wasn’t letting me report the issue from the app, so that’s why I’m specifically letting people know through here)

Saw it on tik tok

Giving this a real shot. I’m hoping to vacation in Japan next year so hopefully this will help me communicate when I get there.

WAYYY BETTER THAN DUOLINGO

that’s it. It’s better than duolingo period

Simple but great UX design, useful contents

The app is easy to use. Clean design. The contents are useful, not your typical classroom materials, but something that can help you not only get better at Japanese also understand the culture better. Please keep more good contents coming!

Best Japanese App
