### 1/5 — ずらい〜

*2024-08-24*

Terrible UI, with extremely minimal slide-based learning sets. It’s more like clicking through a powerpoint.

I want to focus on the content, but 50% of my energy and attention goes towards navigating the app.

They could learn a lot from other apps like Duolingo, Bunpo, and Jisho.

### 1/5 — where is the registration option?

*2016-11-27*

unfortunately I didn't get a option for make a registration...
I also try to look after in web browser but unfortunately I didn't found nothing for do a registration.
