### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2015-10-03, version 2.0.2*

I appreciate and grateful to the company for making peoples to learn japanese a lot easier. However, a zoom would be a nice touch on the home screen. Thank you :) it helped me a lot.

### 5/5 — Very helpful app

*2015-09-30, version 2.0.2*

I like how I'm able to select which characters to practice. This app is very helpful for learning the correct pronunciations. Can't wait until the writing practice becomes available too.

### 4/5 — Missing 1 thing

*2015-09-29, version 2.0.2*

Great for learning everything, only exception is not being able to practice writing.

### 5/5 — Amazing kana app!

*2015-08-29, version 2.0.2*

I've tried nearly every Japanese kana learning app out there, and this one is HANDS-DOWN the best.

### 5/5 — It's Great!

*2015-08-12, version 2.0.2*

It's easy to use effective and convenient. Whenever I need a quick review or just need to check a letter or two I can just go here!

### 5/5 — ありがとうございました！

### 1/5 — You get what you pay for...

*2016-12-30, version 2.0.2*

... and if it's free, well, you don't get very much. 

A waste of time, it is not user friendly. It looks terrible too, and at first I thought I just got a bunch of pictures of the app because it simply ignored me and took forever to load anything. 

Wondering if the above reviews are fake. It really is that awful.

It is better to spend money on an app that works than to waste time on free apps.

### 1/5 — 👇🏻

*2016-12-10, version 2.0.2*

the WRITE part is full of mistake.
pls don't let your users go wrong.

😞

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2016-01-26, version 2.0.2*

Just lists of hiragana and katakana. Quality of this app is so outdated and contents are way too "basic". I can just keep hiragana katakana lists in my album instead. (So I don't waste playing add to just check on the symbols)

### 3/5 — No writing practice

*2018-10-13, version 2.0.2*

I downloaded this hoping to practice writing hiragana. There’s a menu item for writing practice, but when you tap it it says “Writing practice coming soon.” Since the app was last updated three years ago, I’m guessing “soon” means “never.”

I suppose it’s still useful for learning the kana, but I’ve found other apps I like better for that.

### 3/5 — A great starting point

*2017-05-21, version 2.0.2*

Does a good job of helping you progressively recognise characters.

A writing test would make this a go to app.

### 4/5 — J'adore!!

*2018-02-17, version 2.0.2*

Très pratique pour étudier les kanas. Je recommande cette app!

### 4/5 — Wow!!

*2016-08-29, version 2.0.2*

Cette application est vraiment bonne pour apprendre les katakanas et les hiraganas, qui sont la base du japonais. 
J'ai beaucoup de facilité à les retenir maintenant. 

Il n'y a qu'une seule chose qui manque à cette application. Il faudrait pourvoir pratiquer les symboles, apprendre à les écrire. 

En tout cas, merci pour cette application gratuite :)

### 4/5 — Pretty Good

*2016-03-26, version 2.0.2*

I use this app almost everyday to help me practice but like everyone is saying, I'd really appreciate it if they came out with the writing update.

### 4/5 — Great for practising

*2016-02-24, version 2.0.2*

Excellent app for learning and testing yourself Hiragana and Katakana. Very useful.

### 4/5 — Update?

*2015-10-03, version 2.0.2*

A really great app, but I'm waiting for the writing part update! It would really help with memorization.

I'll change my rating to 5 if you add the writing part?
