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.

Great app for learning from nothing

Been using this app for a couple of weeks and it’s very good, and very clear in the teachings. Much better than Duolingo

love this app!! 🩷

i’ve been using renshuu for a while on PC, didn’t realize it was on ios — the app is just as good, and handy for use when away from my computer :)

as someone with very bad memory issues related to ADHD, renshuu is the one app/site that has been able to teach me in a way that i will genuinely remember.

along with its insanely helpful lessons, hiragana/katakana teaching system, and other great features, it is also very accessible for people who don’t have the money to spend on the pricy language teaching apps we all know of. i have renshuu pro simply because of the awesome features it comes with - but i also used free renshuu long before that.

thanks for this great app 🩷🩷
