DUDE WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH

That app is good it's just locked behind a pay wall. I'm sorry but it is unimaginably annoying how I either pay 149.99 for a lifetime or I pay 50 bucks a year. That is so stupid especially because I want to learn Japanese but every single app is locked behind some sort of pay wall like literally. I did the first five lessons and they boom you need premium for all the rest like this is so stupid only get this app if you want to pay for more than five lessons

Costs money

Another typical scam

Bad translation

I signed in with Apple and in my account it said β€˜Inscribido con Apple’. That is not correct Spanish and made me question the quality of the localization. I deleted the app right away.

Amazing

Honestly I used many MANY other apps to learn Japanese’s but this one is amazing if you memorize well the grammar and can pronounce well! I recommend this to a beginner level honestly!!!

A bit sloppy

The idea is great but the clips are too short, I’m assuming they get away with copyright like this, and there are English clips instead of French. It feels like it was made in a rush, not well thought through or quality controlled
