Incorrect

Puts Sa, Shi, Su, Se, So with ten tens as
Ja,Ji,ju,je,jo

When it should be Za, Ji, Zu, Ze, Zo
Plz fix!

would be a good app, if I could buy it

I would happily pay £5 for the app to remove adds from it.

Wrong romanji with hiragana

The row that is ja-jo with the ten-ten marks should be za, ji, zu, ze, zo. This app already teaches you wrong.

Ja Ji Ju Je Jo

Never have I seen this in a Japanese learning application.
Should be z*

:(

Trying to learn Japanese

I would say this is a good app but some of the information seems to be wrong or conflicts with other Japanese learning applications. I think it's content needs to be reviewed before I give it more stars
