### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-05-26*

I like how it is very interactive. Has everything at one place. Easy to understand vocab here! Love it overall! Wish there was a discount on premium 🥲..But free version is great so far!

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-04-11*

The best

### 5/5 — Bất ngờ

*2025-08-04, version 3.0.2*

Mình nghĩ tác giả đã khá đầu tư vào ứng dụng này. Bạn sẽ không mấy bất ngờ nếu đây là ứng dụng học tiếng anh nhưng vì là tiếng nhật nhưng nó có đầy đủ các chức năng mới lạ mà hầu như bạn sẽ không thấy ở đâu trong app tiếng nhật khác. Nhưng nó lại rất bổ ích và dễ học. Vì tôi vẫn đang trải nghiệm nên đây là cảm nhận của cá nhân tôi thôi

### 5/5 — Học tiếng nhật rất tốt

*2025-07-08*

Học tiếng nhật hiệu quả, 5 sao

### 5/5 — Tốt

*2025-07-05, version 2.1.1*

Ứng dụng hay, dễ học, giao diện đẹp

### 3/5 — Góp ý

*2024-09-23, version 2.0.1*

Mình đã trải nghiệm qua 1 lượt các tính năng. Phần Kanji nên thêm âm Hán Việt. Phần phê não đang gặp khá nhiều lỗi. Ứng dụng đang chạy hơi bị lag. App khá hay, khác biệt so với các app khác. Nếu cải thiện tốt hơn mình sẽ mua để học.

### 5/5 — Dễ thương

*2024-02-04, version 1.0.0*

App dễ thương quá, lại có phần accent mà lần đầu mình thấy một ứng dụng ở việt nam chú trọng điều này. Học qua audiobook và youtube với chức năng chạm dịch quá đỉnh

### 5/5 — Đánh giá app

*2024-02-02, version 1.0.0*

Nội dung bài học rất hay và hữu ích
