Even though this app may seem like it’s packed with treasure..

Hello fellow JP learners who have gotten this far and now are looking to find resources to learn about grammar. When I just downloaded the app, I thought this was going to be helpful but when I explored around a bit, it’s not what it seems. There are a lot of topics but the information is incredibly vague and they just slap you with one or two examples thinking you’ll understand easily. It’s better off to just watch YouTube videos on one topic and then move on to the other

Doesn‘t works

The app does not works.

Great!

The app is great and very useful! I’m preparing for an exam with it, but I would like you to add the Russian language (as in your other app) and the ability to view the translation of a word and info about it.

INAPPROPRIATE ADVERTISEMENTS

The app is very useful but I can’t use it comfortably without the interruption of a horribly inappropriate advertisement (often p***nographic). Please remove this problem!

Can’t search

It would be nice to be able to actually search things

Tests are Nice

Lots of information but unfortunately a bug came up and my liked content disappeared and there’s another bug in favourite questions.

Search doesn’t work

Search function simply doesn’t work. I typed in a grammar point, once in Japanese and once in English, and both times no results came up, or at least it didn’t even search anything after pressing enter. And yes, I was connected to WiFi.

No search feature?

This has a lot of good information, but I’m on iPhone 11 and the search feature absolutely doesn’t work. I type something into the general search and nothing comes up/the screen doesn’t change, or I select the specific levels (beginner, intermediate, etc.) and it doesn’t let me type in the search bar at all.
This really has potential to be a great resource but without being able to search, it’s not very helpful.

Lots of grammar but broken app!

I really like that the grammar is sorted by jlpt here. However, the app is completely broken for me on IOS 14.3. The search is broken, the favorite grammar system is broken and in general it is unusable right now.

Agree with other small font size comments

Is there anyway to increase all font sizes across the board. After awhile of studying it becomes burdensome. Short time using and so far content is what I need (simple dictionary of grammar) but can’t continue using.

Too hard to read

This would be extremely useful if I could actually see the words but they are literally too small to read. I can only see about the top half of any of the letters in the example sentences. Please fix.

Response from developer

Sorry for our late reply! Pls kindly help to send screenshot on your iPhone and your ios version info via email: support@porostudio.com. We will fix and improve it asap! Tks a lot!

Can you make a feature to adjust the font

So far so good (only downloaded it for 1 day). But the words are too small, hard to read. Please add a feature to make the words bigger

Too many mistakes

I’m afraid there are so many spelling/ translation mistakes that I would not recommend it for beginners. Also, the example sentences they use to explain the basic grammar for ultra beginners are incredibly complicated and unusual. Sometimes they write the furigana right after the kanji so if you’re a beginner and you can’t recognize the mistakes you will learn it wrong.
Their app for Japanese conversation is great, but this one needs to improve a lot.
