What's New in renshuu

1.15.22

February 17, 2026

Fixes the page going to the previous page when opening the menu. Unfortunately, the tap-through issue (when tapping an item in the menu) is still present, and I am waiting for a fix from a library that renshuu uses. This only affects iOS 26.x users.

The best

It helps with so much with rewarding you by giving you a manga page and they made their own manga and it helps you learn words and so much more. It helps with my Japanese helps other people’s Japanese and I will say that it’s rewarding and that’s why it’s fun.

Incredible experience

Really help me on 2 two alphabet hiragana and katakana

Amazing resource

I almost never leave reviews but this app is stellar!! From lessons to games, all you could want is here. It’s cute, feels like a real community, and has a great dictionary! Genuinely one of the best apps I’ve seen for learning. I keep coming back daily!!

One of the best apps I have come across

I have used a multitude of apps/sources for different languages so I feel like I got a decent sense of what good looks like.

Renshuu is amazing in that it’s very well structured and logical in its progression, highly customisable to meet someone’s unique needs, and brings together different elements from other good apps/sources (eg Anki, good dictionary, clear grammar explanations, kanji writing, exercises…). On top of that it has a wonderful and supportive community, and the gamified nature of the app is great to keep you committed and engaged. Plus it’s incredibly CUTE!

You’ll still need other tools/sources etc to learn Japanese well, as for any language there is no silver bullet, especially for Japanese. But as an all encompassing app, this is probably the best thing I have come across. Well done to the developers!

Better then Duolingo

I like that you have unlimited access to practice and when learning letters they give you a word to go with it
Only issue is it seems confusing to be part of community… I can’t translate yet
