That’s the flow that makes a difference
I have tried many languages learning apps, I will stick with this one.
Shinobi FC from Laos 🇱🇦
I love this application. This app makes me feel better about myself because I can understand Japanese language more accurately than before.
Cringing from AI images
Hire someone to illustrate stories or take images from stock websites. AI art looks really bad.
Great App for Learning Japanese
I really enjoy using Shinboi! The app has short and interesting stories that make learning fun. I also like that I can translate new words easily while reading, which helps me understand the stories better. After each story, there is a small quiz to check if I understood what I read. It’s a great way to improve reading, vocabulary, and comprehension. Thank you for creating such a helpful learning app!

👍
Only a few stories in but I like it so far. Definitely helping me to start reading and developing vocab. Would love if the flash card vocab was free
5 stars
I really love this app
This is my Favorite Japanese App
I never thought I would start to read Japanese. I thought it would take me years to even attempt. Shinobi has made me so much more confident in my abilities and is the app that keeps me going with my attempts to learn Japanese. I appreciate the free version so much. どもうありがとうございます for supporting me through this journey!!!

O aplicativo é bom
Découverte de l’application
Quelques jours seulement d’apprentissage et l’application me semble déjà tellement ludique que je progresse sans vraiment m’en rendre compte !
Toute une histoire
C’est entraînant d’avoir des petites histoires, dans les thèmes qu’on aime. C’est appréciable de voir l’écriture avec kanji mais aussi les hiraganas.
Good
Good app for learning from stories

Love it
Really fun and useful great way to practice
Fun and simple.
This game is fun and easy for bigginers
Cool!
I haven't gotten to use much of this app, but the stories are great for beginners. I like how you can tap each word to find out the meaning. The comprehension questions afterward really helps lock it in. I already knew a bit of Japanese beforehand, so I don't know how much you need to know for this app.
That was written by a bot, but genuinely this app is helpful to me. I like how it's still useful even if you don't have premium. I used this app the most before i kinda gave up on Japanese (but this is really good at helping me get back into it). There's also a version of this app for Chinese. Definitely underrated. These apps by this developer deserve more attention. The AI pictures are kinda off-putting, though

Bugs await the higher-level students
The app concept is great but for a serious or intermediate to advanced student, there are several subtle errors that will likely be a bit annoying for some. For example, some kanji words have incomplete hiragana shown. Some meanings or examples are missing. Some examples are for a different reading of the presented word. Probably the most odd error is when occasional compound kanjis are presented, the whole word is split into two words (for tapping on to get the meaning) when it should not be split, eg 被害地 is split into 被害 and 地 so the word’s meaning is somewhat awry. Granted it infrequent but shouldn’t really exist, so the app content really could benefit from good proofreading for accurate presentation.

Highly Recommended
I’ve found Shinobi to be one of the most helpful tools in my acquisition of Japanese. It’s pretty challenging in the more advanced levels, but it’s worth the effort. I spend a lot of time shadowing each page so it would be nice if there was a repeat button for looping the automated voice that reads each page, without having to press the play button each time I want to hear it again.
One slight quibble: I found that I raced through the beginner levels pretty quickly because there weren’t enough stories to keep me occupied until I had improved enough for the advanced levels. I probably would have repeated a lot of the stories I had already read, but because I didn’t want to break my daily streak, I had to keep going - and pretty quickly I was on the upper levels which take a lot longer to read through. So more stories in the beginner levels would have better. Fortunately, new stories are being added all the time.
Overall. Highly Recommended.
