Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 漢字でGO! at 5.0 against Kami Typing! Typing trainer's 4.5. 漢字でGO! also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Kami Typing! Typing trainer's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (83% vs 72%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

漢字でGO! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kami Typing! Typing trainer has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Kami Typing! Typing trainer's written reviews are positive against 72% of 漢字でGO!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Kami Typing! Typing trainer ships an update every 5 days, 漢字でGO! every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 12, 2026.
