## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Restore purchases

*2016-06-29*

......restore purchases not working

### 2/5 — Costs more that you think

*2025-11-17*

I paid for this app only to discover that is only a limited version! You have to pay more to get the full version. This is misleading in my view. If you are prepared to pay more, this is a good app.

### 2/5 — Not worth $3.99.

*2025-08-12*

This could be better and there are some language errors. Paying $3.99 for this was a gif error.

### 3/5 — Great Content But A Bit Cash-Grab

*2026-01-18*

Great and diverse Japanese Vocab Content. However, unlike the Ukrainian sister App which was free to download and then offered subscriptions, I had to pay £4 to purchase this App and then another £20 for the lifetime purchase. I believe it's the same situation with the Gernan App, Russian, Spanish, and French. Seems very cash-grab to me.

### 4/5 — Confusion

*2018-05-27*

This is a great app for the pronunciation of all the words but cannot be used for writing. All the japanese writing below the word has gone wrong somewhere-it isn't with every word. One of the things is that you have mixed Kanji (from Chinese origins) with Kana. I dont believe anyone writes like that. The other thing is that some of the letters in kana are wrong. Other than that, great app!!! 😃

### 4/5 — Phrase of the day

*2015-08-18*

I thought the phrase of the day was supposed to be a new phrase not in the pack itself. Also you could add new phrases like traditions in the Japanese culture.

### 4/5 — PHIL

*2015-07-30*

Really useful app, and in a real human's voice as well. It's only basic but there are enough useful phrases and words to help me get by when I am in Japan.

### 4/5 — Good .. But paid bundle wont download

*2014-10-16*

This is an excellent app. The paid bundle does not download.

### 4/5 — 👍

*2014-10-14*

👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Fun is not foreign

*2026-05-15*

An essential must grab

## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Really useful!!

*2016-12-03*

I'm learning Japanese but sometimes when I'm have a conversations online with new people this app will really help me with having simple conversations and is nice because when you copy the words or phrases it will use the kanji so it's nice that I can use text like a native speaker would. Would totally recommend.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-08-06*

This app is a perfect app for Japanese beginners and has a enough useful phrases to help me get around Japan!! The only thing is you have to make in app purchases for more words, shouldn't they be free??!!

### 5/5 — The full version vs. free

*2014-10-08*

Compared to both, the full version is good if you want to be like a little good at Japanese. The free version is for basic, so if you want to learn basic, get the free version, it'll be worth it.
