### 1/5 — Wrong romanji with hiragana

*2018-08-25*

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

### 1/5 — Ja Ji Ju Je Jo

*2017-08-27*

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

:(

### 1/5 — Could have been good, but....

*2012-02-11*

There is no audio, how are you suppose to know how to properly say the letters?

### 2/5 — Incorrect

*2020-03-19*

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!

### 2/5 — Trying to learn Japanese

*2015-12-09, version 1.6.0*

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

### 2/5 — Buy a request to delete the list

*2011-08-28*

Buy a request to delete the list

### 3/5 — would be a good app, if I could buy it

*2019-04-04, version 1.7.0*

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

### 3/5 — Awesome. Definitely Recomend

*2011-10-03*

Get it.

### 4/5 — Love the handwriting component. Audio could be played automatically.

*2012-10-21*

I really love the handwriting component because it includes the grid which is very important when learning the strokes. For the listening test, I'd prefer it not to show the romaji at all or at least have it hidden and then have the audio play automatically. It's not really a listening test if you already see the romaji. Other than that, the app is very helpful with the tests.

### 4/5 — Audio not working on iPhone 4 OS5

*2011-10-29*

Great app, I upgraded to OS5 on my iPhone 4, and noticed a few apps don't have audio anymore (including this one) need an upgrade for that.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2015-11-20*

I love this app it's amazing for hiragana and katakana. I like how we can choose how many questions we want

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2011-12-27, version 1.3.0*

Great app!

### 5/5 — Cool!!!

*2011-07-04*

The best hiragana app ever.

### 4/5 — Lettering

*2011-07-27*

Some of the hiragana is wrong and doesn't explain how some series like s can turn into z with the hine marks. Other then that it's a good way to practice your Japanese writing. Sorry for spelling hine wrong. ^.^;
