✓ Great for my 6 years old tooThough I am Japanese but my husband is British and we’re living in the UK, hence I’ve been having had a difficulty teaching my daughter Japanese. Now she’s 6 and perfect for reading English, this apps was perfect for her to learn writing & reading. During this lockdown she learnt all Hiragana and now moves on to Katakana! I’m very happy with this apps and recommend to others..Love2learnJapaneseVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Ripped offPaid to unlock everything but lessons still locked.Shads5775Version: 1.3.27

✓ I really love this app!I’m not one to rate apps but I can’t help it this app has been so helpful👍🏼I’ve been trying to get into Japanese for almost two years and started to look into it again this year then I came across this app. While I had to pay for the rest of the lessons it’s totally worth it. For something so basic as sounding it out, tracing it with your finger, taking your time and fast/ easy review it really helps me out while I still use other apps to boost my learning process for the first time I feel like I’m actually learning the language! Writing everything down on paper is also helping me out as I learn ☺️.I love live and breatheVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Pretty cash money if I do say so myselfVersus Duolingo, this app has helped me remember the characters FAR better. The tracing and stroke patterns are especially great. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I haven’t really seen any apps that let you write the character right in the screen, and I’ve been trying desperately to find an app that allows that! The people who keep giving the app a low rating due to the fact that it costs money aren’t doing a justice for the work the devs put in. :).笑いいいいいいいいいVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Pretty good appVery simple and usefully. It's good how you can decide how advanced you would like to get by purchasing more difficult levels (although some may view this as a negative)..Jroseb821Version: 1.1.10

✓ Easy to use, worth the moneyI've been using this app for a few months now and it's great. Great learning curve, easy to pick up when you have spare moments. Glad it tracks your progress and forces you to repeat stuff you're not strong at..BullshitnicknameVersion: 1.1.10

✓ BRILLIANTThis app taught me all the hiragana in a few days (with only 30 minutes practise per day)! It's amazing and works much faster than other methods I've tried in the past. I'm now moving onto kanji and I've learnt so much using this app! It does cost $12 but gosh, it's worth it. 10/10 would recommend.HolceeVersion: 1.1.10

✓ So far so good!So far so good. Only in the 4th chapter but enjoying it. Hopefully it gets to applicaiton standards later so as to be able to hold a simple conversation..Sunn2_33Version: 1.3.39

✓ Great!The app is great. However, when reviewing vowels for katakana, the character “i” was unable to be written (every time you try to write it, it resets. But amazing nonetheless!.Wenda_Version: 1.3.39

✓ GoodI memorized stuff here easily.StarKattin123Version: 1.3.47

✓ BrilliantI am loving this app, starting with absolutely no knowledge of Japanese. I have completely mastered hiragana, Katakana. I never experience any bugs it works perfect for hours. I’ve learned heaps! I love this app.😐😞😔😣😡😡😡😕😣Version: 1.3.33

✓ Great app!Great for revision and refreshing your memory and a great alternative to physical flash cards. App works great and I have only noticed a few bugs when working on stroke order using your finger to write the character but should be fixed in no time..HARM3ZVersion: 1.2.14

✓ Fabulous learning tool, no complaintsRuns very smoothly, is structured very well with lessons designed to help you memorise the characters. You learn both how to recognise the characters and also how to write them. Can’t recommend enough: well worth the money 😊.IHyacinthiVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Pretty goodI find everything pretty easy to follow as I go and right now I’m learning all the hiragana pretty quickly. But there’s one problem, sometimes when I do a “review” on a set of characters, it glitches out after answering 1 character.Random nonVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Fully recommend!I love this app so much! It really helps you remember the character well! The repetition of drawing out the characters is amazing! And I love how it teaches you proper stroke order as well! I bought all of the lessons, very good price for what you get! A must for beginner Japanese learners!.Shelby6370Version: 1.3.39

✓ Amazing Writing AppThis is a very interactive app that presents lessons in a practical manner that make it possible to actually learn how to read and write Japanese characters. It has tracing at the beginning of each lesson which quickly evolves it to writing the character completely from memory. It is designed to work at the learners pace, so it’s neither too fast for beginners, nor is it boring for seasoned independent learners. The app also encourages frequent lesson reviews, which is key for long term success. As a kindergarten and Special Education teacher, I recommend a combination of stylus use as well as finger tracing. Young children are encouraged to trace letters with their fingers as this is key in teaching the subconscious how to RECOGNIZE letters. Use of a stylus will allow the brain to learn the BASIC MOTOR SKILL of writing the Japanese characters with a pen. Personally, I enjoy using an electronic format versus traditional pen and paper as the use of traditional workbooks either requires paper wasting copies or page tearing erasing. The app work space is always fresh and ready to use! I also noticed immediately that I hold the stylus more like a paintbrush than a pen, which I find ideal as Japanese is traditionally written with brush stokes. Great app and well worth the price..Kaje YanceVersion: 1.3.39

✓ So usefulPaid for the app (only £8 so was good price in comparison to other apps) took me about 4 months to complete. The app is very good and gives you lots of information and helps you at every step. Well worth the money for the premium. My only negative for the app would be that it only teaches you the formal ways to say things which isnt bad but is (so i have been told) more complex than casual japanese. I HIGHLY reccomend.ACourtSmVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Need Assistance (and got it)Update: I had an issue, but the devs helped me fix it. Long story short, if you purchase all levels, and they don’t unlock, tap the “Restore purchases” button. Great app, I’m really liking it so far (just finished the Hiragana section). It gives you review reminders, letting you review only the stuff that needs review, or you can just review the whole section. My only suggestion here is an option to choose a specific group of lessons to review. Summary: It works really well, and costs less than all of the alternatives..OmnislapVersion: 1.3.37

✓ Love itThis app is simple and great for beginners! Just add kanji!.Jade😎18Version: 1.3.33

✓ Great app for people who want to learn JapaneseThis app is very simple to use unlike other language apps this one’s the best so far if u make a mistake it goes back to it and doesn’t move you on till u get it 😁 very helpful i do recommend it.Cutefox2324Version: 1.3.48

✓ Love it!I do love this application indeed, but I’m a little sad over the fact I have to pay to learn the other characters. Great app, though!.Me, lolyyyVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Great, with room for improvement.I wish there was a way to practice certain characters without having to practice the whole set. I would love to see an update in which you could have a more precise writing examination with the ability to track improvement in form. All in all, great app for the price..HeidhfheksndgVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Extremely HelpfulAs an absolute beginner this app has helped me a lot to slowly start to understand written Japanese. While I haven't gotten very far yet I've found it has a well structured revision setup and I am feeling a lot more confident about my ability to learn Japanese. Over all it is a very good app and I will be recommending it to my friends..Caitie•_•Version: 1.1.10

✓ Très bonne appFacile à utiliser, bon tutorat, plusieurs leçons. Organisé pour faciliter l’apprentissage!.V the cutestVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Awesome app!!I've progressed so quickly already and I'm still on level one! Best hiragana app I've used! Really recommend, it's super easy and very efficient! Also really fun :).Calsh102Version: 1.1.10

✓ Best app for learning or reviewing JapaneseI studied Japanese in college about 25 years ago and am trying to relearn it now. I've downloaded lots of apps and this one is by far the best I've found. I paid for the upgrade, and it was so worth the money. I've been able to review the kana and grammar, plus learn some more kanji along the way. It's made me realize that I remember more than I thought I did, in addition to building a stronger foundation for further study. I highly recommend this app for those who want to refresh their knowledge (since I already knew some Japanese, I can't speak to how well it would,work for a complete beginner, but for my purposes it's perfect.) if it only had stroke order & the ability to practice writing it would be perfect!.KheitlVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Wonderful App + bug report?I want to first say that to anyone reading this review, this is a fantastic app for learning hiragana and katakana. The writing systems become so much less intimidating with continued use. This app encourages you to practise the letters and actually become able to write Japanese. My only bug report is that when you write out “mi” in hiragana, the sensors are a bit wonky. I can do a perfect hiragana mi at this point because of how many times I’ve been asked to repeat it ;u; I don’t know what it is, even when my first stroke is perfect, practically in line with the guides when they come up, I’m asked to repeat? Fixing this would be appreciated, thank you..LazyyyycatVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Unexpectedly good learning appThe way the app uses a combination of repetition, writing, and pronunciation makes it relatively simple to learn and memorize grammar and words quickly. I managed to memorize hiragana and katakana in less than 2 weeks! Grant it, I was on the app pretty much everyday having a lot of fun with it, so practice still makes perfect. The only suggestions I have for improvement so far would be to have separate reviews for words and sentence structure. There are times I want to only review vocabulary, and other times only how to form sentences. However, the review sessions make you go through pretty much everything you went through before getting to any desired questions, which can be a drag at times. Otherwise, this is a fantastic app to get started learning Japanese!.Melloi68Version: 1.5.7

✓ Super helpful with one issueI've really enjoyed using this app, I even paid to upgrade it! Totally worth every penny, and I really like the order they introduce new characters. The one issue I have noticed, though, is that when I'm using the "Review All" feature, two of the options are always あ and き plus very often と. This takes all the challenge out of the process when the answer will always be the symbol that changed. I also wish that they would make the review feature longer, so that it would always include every character form every lesson you have completed. Right now it is just a hand full. Still an overall spectacular tool. I would absolutely recommend it and I hope that an update might come along to improve my one nitpick..DrwatsonguyVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Love itI have ADHD so I really struggle to learn anything. I wanted to learn Japanese for so long but it was so hard and this app feels incredible! Totally recommend it. Just a note though, I can’t find how to communicate with the developers and I think there is a mistake, when the app asks me to click on the symbol for “ri” it shows the wrong one..EinaquaVersion: 1.3.47

✓ I’m a truly beginnerI hope As I take on the stages of this App, I will be able to hold a conversation with a local Japanese and will be able to translate into English. Arigato! I am still in Hiragana stage 1..Nicky.loveVersion: 1.3.33

✓ The best app for learning you’re Japanese charactersI’ve tried many apps to learn Japanese such as Duolingo and LingoDeer and those are amazing apps but i wanted to specifically learn the characters in detail and this teaches it soo well. Highly recommend!!!!!.AdddddddminnVersion: 1.5.15

✓ Simply AmazingI can't say enough how I think this is one of the best apps out there for learning Japanese. Get you engaged, knows your weak skills and helps to improve them. Definitely recommend! Edit* I love to give praises where it's due, but I don't want to give the developers reason to believe there is not room for improvement. So (1) Since it's already multiple choice, 3 of the choices should not remain the same when giving a new question. (2) I do think there should be a font change option, helps us to get familiar with different fonts as well as recognize differences between them. Hope they consider some of these changes!.PokaGuyVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Love itI have tried many methods to start learning Japanese and this app has been the best tool in my arsenal. It’s straightforward and easy to navigate. It’s great for reviewing at any time, and anywhere. They only critique I have is that sometimes when I’m drawing out a character I make a mistake, and I realize it but there’s no way to correct without the app just giving me the answer. I would love to be able to erase and begin again from time to time..Julie Andrews FanVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Almost perfectGreat app for learning Japanese. It has an occasional glitch where it will repeat the audio clip for the previous word/phrase instead of the current one. Also, with the small screen on iPhone SE, I had one instance where one of the words you needed to tap to build up a sentence was on top of the “show hint” button at the bottom of the screen. Every time I tried to tap the word, the hint pop up would get shown instead. I eventually managed to tap the word by tapping the very edge of it (the part not on top of the hint button). If they can fix the audio glitch and make the hint button smaller or move it to the corner - this would be 5 stars..22ashVersion: 1.3.2

✓ Very easy to followHave only started using the app but im finding it very easy to follow. Lets hope that continies!.HinzwipVersion: 1.3.33

✓ Excellent AppI was skeptical at first to pay the $9 to use this app. But it is significantly better than other apps that are for learning. It is very worth it to spend the money to get all of the lessons. DO NOT BUY JUST ONE LEVEL. There are around 260 lessons it will cost you over $500 to purchase them all one-by-one so for the sake of your wallet, buy them at all at once. For the developer: It would be nice if you could add a setting that reduces the hints you get. (Maybe like 1-5 failed attempts before hint). It always annoyed me when I got a stroke wrong, and I’m just there like “…” Like I know it’s wrong but I don’t want the hint to tell me it’s wrong. Just add a way to limit when you get hints. Also, it would be nice if there was a setting to remove furigana except when it’s necessary (for example 何 distinction. These settings don’t hinder that app in any way, but more freedom would be nice. TLDR: Good app, worth purchase..PlagueDoctorSadManVersion: 1.5.15

✓ Great Introduction to JapaneseI am overall extremely happy with this app. The layout is very user-friendly and encouraging, and the pacing is nice as it gives you full and rather useful sentences early on. That being said, this is not a course that will get you to be sufficient by any means, and I would use it just as a starting point for people who want to seriously study the language. I already know hiragana and katakana, so I skipped over those lessons, but I don’t think they would take long for people who are starting from scratch. I plan to finish parts 3-6 by the end of the month, and then I will start Genki I and the rest of that series. I have no doubt that the knowledge I gained from this app will help me understand Genki and get through it more quickly. Thanks to the developer of this app! You really hit it out of the park..HenryawrightVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Perfect for beginnersA good grounding in the scripts and basic words and sentence structures of Japanese. With the bevy of language apps on the App Store this one has a minimal but smooth interface that prompts you to learn and review in a manner that you can handle at your own pace but certainly doesn’t lag when wanting to speed through to test yourself.Klokwerk17Version: 1.3.47

✓ Great appGreat app overall for JSL people. Needs payment to have complete access but definitely worth the money..Tani ChiakiVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Great App but bug fixes are slowReally good way to learn Japanese from scratch. However I have sent feedback multiple times and emails in regards to bugs and have had no response. The review all function seems to not work so makes it hard to go over all the material on a level at once..My nickname is DerekVersion: 1.5.8

✓ Great but costs moneyThis is a great app for beginners but the thing is that it costs money to unlock the levels which is really annoying and I don’t want to spend money on it. Education is never free ;(.Anime_fan4lifeyVersion: 1.3.16

✓ Good place to start learning JapaneseIt's fun and easy to use and you'll be surprised at how much you do remember between sessions. I refer back to this app regularly and find it has helped me to remember the different characters visually and audibly even if it has been a while since I used it last. Definitely a good place to start and a great way to productively fill in time :).JscconservationVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Needs a manual review mode like the kanji app.I bought all the lessons, and I’d have to say that the price is relatively cheap considering the fact that I’m able to learn the fundamental basics of Japanese. This app uses spaced repetition and active recall (the two most scientifically proven techniques of learning and memorising), which is a big plus for me because I was able to learn both hiragana and katakana in 2 weeks (on and off). I was able to communicate at an extremely novice level to my peers after completing level 3. However, I’d like to see a manual review mode, where I’m able to select what I want to review, similar to that of the kanji app. I can’t seem to rely on the app 100% of the time when it comes to the daily reviews. I'm certain that I have few holes in my understanding at levels 3 and 4, and I’d like to clarify my knowledge by manually picking what needs review. It’d be tiresome and demotivating to go through all the lessons again. I’m usually pretty on and off with Japanese, and since I was a complete beginner, I’d like to know where I’m at..BoomerTangedVersion: 1.3.38

✓ Should have more optionsI have been studying Japanese for a while, and decided to download another app. This is really helpful for learning how characters are written. However, I already know all hiragana and katakana. I think you should be able to choose your current level of how far you’ve gotten of learning Japanese. For instance, you could have “Level 1” as not knowing any Japanese, so you have everything to learn. Level 2 could be when you know Hiragana and Katakana. Level 3 could be when you know basic phrases/structures. If you already know kana, you could select a level 2 so you don’t have to practice kana, because you’ve already learned them with something else. I would love it if you could take this into consideration!.RedLightningStrikeVersion: 1.3.23

✓ Duo not doing it for you? TRY THISI’m just starting off learning Japanese. I’m bored at home and have always wanted to be trilingual. Usually, I hear good thing a about you-know-what owl app… that wasn’t doing it for me… all I remembered was the sounds and not how to write hiragana or katakana. If you enjoy a good mental challenge, this is the app for you. I can not stress this enough… this app helped me learn them super quick through repetition and forcing my mind to memorize them in a fun way. I’m barely a novice at japanese but I can confidently say that this is the best app to learn Japanese by far… I started off with the free level to learn hiragana… and the characters stuck… I finally was able to remember them, so I didn’t mind spending $7 for the chance to learn a skill that will pay off in the future through new friends or business opportunities. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone looking to g eat into learning Japanese, whether it be for travel, business, or for being able to understand text..Luna ymVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Love this app but there is a bugI really enjoyed learning Kana from this app, I think writing characters really helps them stay in memory. However, I can’t open the app anymore - it crashes on launch… So I can’t access it at all. I hope the bug is fixed soon because I really miss this app and I’m a bit annoyed since I’ve paid for the full version.KamimstVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Liking it very much so far!!I just finished the 4th lesson and I’m loving this app! There just something about the order in which it teaches you that flows really well. I also like how simple the interface is. Only criticism so far is that the review feature glitches. For example: if I review one section, then review for the other sections disappears and I have to wait for it to come back. If the creators read this, I would love it if you added new lessons in the future like plain forms and more grammar rules to complement your kanji vocab app. Also, if you made a Korean version like this in addition to the Hangul app I would buy it immediately. Thanks for the great app I’ve truly learned so well with it!.OhmygawwdeverynameistakenVersion: 1.5.15

✓ I love itIt helped me learning the alphabet. This app totally worth it..YannyEZVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Great appThis is a great app for learning Japanese writing systems. It just needs the added stroke order practice screen I've seen in other apps, and the sound of spoken words needs to be made clearer (the electronic voice isn't the best choice). But it is well set out, and although it could be cheaper, it's a lot less than paying for lessons. Of course, once you've master reading and writing, you could always get lessons for spoken words and grammar etc..Razorback73Version: 1.1.10

✓ Awesome for beginning JapaneseHave been searching around for app to learn Japanese and this is the best one I've found. It teaches you how to write the characters correctly, instead of only reading all the time. I've found this extremely helpful for remembering the characters. You get a few free lessons, then pay to open up the rest, but it's inexpensive and I've found it's worth it. You can trial each section of learning before paying, so you know what you're getting when you open up the rest. Great app..XzolsVersion: 1.2.7

✓ Simple and practicalI learned hiragana and katakana long ago, and this app has been a wonderful refresher course for me. It would also be great for a beginner. Simple, easy, and practical..Vic in AustraliaVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Very niceI love this app all in all cause it’s easy to use and understandable but there’s a small bug where when the voice says a sentence it says “taberu” instead. Thanks!.HqqhqhVersion: 1.3.47

✓ 10 starsI memorized hiragana and katakana only by sight using other tools, and moved on to kanji. I used the "Kanji!" app to learn my first 100 kanji (I can draw them all by memory and recognize them well). However it dawned on me I couldn't even draw hiragana/katakana by memory lol, even though I could recognize them all. I tried 10 apps before I found this one, which is made by the same developers as "Kanji!". I'm blowing through the characters, I'm excited to see what else this app has to offer, I gave myself a preview of the lessons down the list and purchased them all immediately. If you love this app go download "Kanji!". It's the same thing but with N5-N1 kanji..SnaipatVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Ok desu!It’s GREAT if you need to refresh your learning and for beginners. At first I thought it was too easy since I only needed to refresh what I already know but I continued through and ended up buying the full lesson. Mind you, I’ve tried countless apps but they just miss the mark because if you feel like you have some of your katakanas as and hiraganas down, then you need to head the pronounciation more often and you need to learn the correct way of writing it. I ended up ordering a $10 pen for my phone so that I can practice my writing better. I also skipped a couple of levels to check out how it teaches you writing and so far, I liked how I taught kanji. It shows you reading it first before you memorize how to write it which I believe is essential because you need to become familiarized with kanji first before you can try to remember how to write it..XOLily26Version: 1.3.39

✓ Great learning repetitionsSo far this is not necessarily an amazing very first step in learning Japanese but it is GREAT for hammering character memorization once you have been properly introduced to the characters. As others have mentioned, the font used is very fancy hand written characters which I actually find useful for real life application as well...just not for total newbies. The easy to use and effective "flash card multiple choice" type questions are the best tool I have been able to find, which is why I sprung the $7.99 for this, but I'm only willing to do so to fast-track my learning as much as possible. Overall quite satisfied so far, I'll update if that changes after Hiragana lessons are done!.SurfinandsailinVersion: 1.1.10

✓ BugI'd love to buy all new lessons this app offers but when I click on "purchase all lessons" nothing happens. Edit: It worked finally..WondraCernyVersion: 1.2.6

✓ A fresh way to learnI tried learning Japanese on duolingo but they only teach you words like apple or brother but with this app I’m learning at a great pace. Although it has a few of ten dollars it is worth the knowledge you gain from the app, it breaks down the language into small lessons for me to learn and I’m never confused or frustrated at all.Mark r chandarVersion: 1.3.47

✓ More languages?It’s a pretty good app actually! Really good price too.. tho so you think you will eventually add more default languages such as French ? It would be very nice !!.Julianne_sVersion: 1.3.48

✓ Can't recommend enoughThis is my favourite app for learning Japanese, and I have been downloading and trying so many by now that I feel like my perspective is valid. At the time that I found this app, I already knew hiragana and katakana, so I was mostly drawn to the grammar portion of this app. I especially am loving the way it uses kanji only when introducing words (in my case, I know how to say these vocabulary words but may or may not have learned the kanji or how to conjugate the verbs/use them in a sentence) and it is really helping me understand. I like the way the wordbank grows throughout the "levels" so that you actually have to know which kanji are what, even though the lines they fit onto may give you a little hint, I'm finding this still very useful. This app will help you familiarize yourself with kanji, and help you understand the grammar/sentence structure of the language. I'm liking it so much I just had to leave a review. Hope this helped!.PetrichorbonesVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Perfect App, genuinelyThis app is exactly what I was hoping for. I meant to write a review many weeks ago, but I’m unsure if I ever submitted it. Using the app, over the last couple months, I’ve fully memorized all of Hiragana, Katakana, and I’ve moved through most of their additional lessons, which have been great. The interface is clean and simple. It works in landscape, unlike other apps. I recall being able to memorize something like 20 or 30 Hiragana on my very first use of the app. You have the ability to review test yourself at any point, and the tests are always different. The ability to constantly test my knowledge is important to me, because I’m a slower learner. The app price is modest, and inoffensive to me for what you get. I had previously downloaded many different apps, and tried other methods, but I was always searching for something like this. I am very happy with it. I bought it after about 2 minutes upon viewing how it worked. I’ve already bought their “Kanji” app for when I’m finished with this one too. Anyways, I recommend it and cheers to all the other Japanese language learners out there!.HelloitsmattVersion: 1.3.39

✓ So excited to learn JapaneseI have a preference for learning large material. I have to associate things in order to retain information for my short term memory. The difference between this app and other popular apps for me is how they grouped lessons. I hate apps that just says “lesson one learning phrases” then they add a sprinkle of hiragana and other elements I am ignorant to and then I have no way to retain it. I have had a popular app for 2 years and haven’t learned a single thing from it. With this app, 2 weeks in I already have all hiragana characters memorized and can actually read words at a decent pace. I also would like to say, when I had an issue with a lesson that didn’t differentiate 2 alphabets (they are spelled the same in English alphabet) they immediately fixed the problem after one simple email and let me know that it was updated. Overall, with the combination of a great product and awesome customer service I am so happy with my purchase. This is exactly what I needed..Tee Arr HarvVersion: 1.4.7

✓ Best Japanese Learner App Yet!!!I’ve been using this app for the last 2 weeks and I feel great! I’ve been wanting to learn Japanese for quite sometime now and I’m so happy with this app among the countless other ones. I purchased the entire app, only $9.00-talk about a bargain, and I’m so happy with it. Friendly user interface, easy to follow steps, and overall nice setup. 😁🥳🇯🇵 Con: The only thing I don’t like is when you’re given a blank pad as you test your skills it shows you the faded character if you start at a certain point instantly, a bit annoying when you attempt to write the character from memory…but not all the time at least. 🙃.Anon🥋Version: 1.5.8

✓ Amazing! I love it!I loved the idea of learning Japanese, and this made it so easy!! With some of my friends help this has been so fun and easy! At first, i thought that learning Japanese would be a nightmare! So, I started using Duolingo, but, I was told there were better apps to use...it’s true! This helps and gives a good confidence boost! I highly recommend this app to those who want to learn Japanese!.Its D!Version: 1.3.47

✓ Great App! ..butHey! This app is really awesome, I’ve been wanting to learn Japanese for some time now, and this app is great. But I do not know how to unlock the other lessons? do I just kinda continue with the levels? Do I have to pay to unlock the lessons?.Unknow_gacha_playerVersion: 1.5.14

✓ Best app!!!I love how it teaches you hiragana, katakana, basic grammar and some kanji! 10/10 would recommend.Barbarah StewartVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Excellent but...Could be better and work with your memory more. Like memrise. I think they do their sessions longer, they're just somehow much more effective for the memory. These flashcards are good but they don't feel quite so "sticky". Still a quality app however and I don't regret paying for a full upgrade..Nijntj3Version: 1.1.10

✓ Essential App for Learning and RevisingIn this app, everything is layed out in a level-by-level format where everything you'll need to know about the basics of Japanese are only a tap away, you learn essentials such as Hiragana and Katakana, sentence structure, verbs, adjectives, and questions that will soon lead you to becoming a pro. The design is simplistic, modern, and mixes design with functionality. It's easy to tap between lessons and review everything in one big sheet. The learning aspect is also very good. You can opt in to learn how to write the characters, however it's completely optional. Writing the characters could be improved as sometimes when you write a character correctly it can mistake it for being wrong. But no app can be perfect. In all, this app is perfect for new learners of the language or people who are rusty and need to catch-up, if you choose to upgrade, (which I recommend), you won't feel scammed out your money..A. SobersVersion: 1.3.27

✓ Excellent but...Abolutely excellent app, the developer should be proud! However I believe the order in which it asks you what a character is should be shuffled every time the exercise is repeated to avoid your memory remembering by the order they come up Thanks.Trona deductVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Nice.It’s very good however the characters “mi” and “wo” always crash the app after I draw it incorrectly, it’s also difficult to please the app when drawing both 9/10 times you’ll get it wrong even if you drew it almost perfectly..ILostMyLemonVersion: 1.3.33

✓ GreatI don’t know why I gave this 4 star rating.. This app is great, I somehow managed to remember how to write the vowels in one day..Ik its not perfectVersion: 1.3.47

✓ AmazingThis app is amazing. I totally recommend it. I love how it reinforces your learning. It’s also not one of those apps were there is an add every time you tap your screen. In fact, There are no adds at all! The is cheap and is definitely worth the money. Overall this app is amazing, I love it. Totally recommend it!.ConeybabyyVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Really helpsI am currently studying Japanese once a week in an evening class. As well as speaking we are learning to read and write Japanese as well. This app has really helped me memorise the writing symbols for Japanese and I have been able to pick out letters within a set of text in Japanese that I now know. This app alongside the class I do each week have helped me so much to learn the language. I have only got as far as Hiragana at the moment as that’s all my class is learning for term 1. But so far was definitely worth the price. I use this app at least 30mins to an hour every other day to keep it fresh in my mind..CME0412Version: 1.3.35

✓ Please add size adjustments for writingTried to send feedback within the app but the submit button isn’t working. I use my iPad to practise handwriting but the written sections of the app are huge so it doesn’t simulate the experience very well. Please allow the user to make smaller and I’ll definitely be purchasing all lessons..Coco :-@Version: 1.3.47

✓ Updated: Thanks for the quick fixUpdate: I’ve enjoyed the app and when I’ve had issues, the dev was quick to fix the issue and respond to me. This is great customer service. Original: I liked this app at first and thought it would be great to support the developer. A few days after I bought it, the software had a critical error and it just keeps closing upon opening..The Best PolicyVersion: 1.3.35

✓ Actually amazingI was a bit skeptical at first, but buying the premium version was completely worth it. I usually revise on wanikani which I use on my desktop since there’s no mobile app, but this app fills that gap. Thank you so much for making this :)).FluffyKittenV2Version: 1.3.47

✓ Roblox Is BetterGet Roblox. At least it’s online. This doesn’t really help hiragana. I give this -6 stars. Everyone seeing this should go do some Roblox 🤫.I Am Noah CotterellVersion: 1.5.21

✓ Some things are worth paying forThis app is one of them. There is such of wealth of material in this app, and the way it is presented — testing the user’s mastery of a given item in gradual degrees of difficulty, randomly presenting different facets of material in the same flow to maximize your mental engagement. So much thought and care went into the design and implementation of this app, I feel like it would be worth 10 times the price. I am so grateful to be able to access all of this for the price of a Starbucks drink. If you are trying to learn Japanese, especially if you want to learn the kana (haven’t gotten to the more advanced material yet), don’t hesitate. This is a worthwhile investment..KV 262Version: 1.3.47

✓ Useful but can’t use between devicesI love this app and found it very useful! I love the ability to trace out the letters. I’ve been using this app on my iPad where I paid for the full version and wanted to use it on my phone as well. However I can’t access the next levels and are prompted to pay again. Is this a bug or is this by design?.C.J MandapVersion: 1.3.48

✓ Actually better than expectedSo I bought all the lessons.. I can't comment on how great it is yet entirely. But.. So far it's been pretty great, my Japanese Mrs says my Japanese is progressing much quicker, than it was prior!.BruTaL J3WVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Fantastic AppI’m studying Japanese for one year and still find this very useful for consolidation of learning. Would be nice if apps develop further levels. Thanks.JC-AustraliaVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Great app!Great for learning and shadowing the sounds. Another layer to be added to your studying. Effortlessly easy and fun..Kervens G,Version: 1.5.11

✓ Brilliant but just one issueIt is the best way so far to learn my Japanese alphabets but some characters when drawing them are bugged where even if you trace it perfectly it will act as though you did it wrong and it's really annoying if you fix this you'll have 5* from me..I love Ben HowardVersion: 1.3.10

✓ Brilliant!Amazing app for learning Japanese..Nico cookVersion: 1.5.15

✓ Perfect for the basicsThis application is amazing. Much like flash cards it is based on repetition. Where you make a mistake or are slower to answer, the algorythm recognises it. I find it very helpful as an advanced learner, this tool is exceptional to refresh on what I know and further develop strong memory on those attributes. Furthermore, pronounciation, pitch accent, the fact that words are written in romaji as well as they are in script just makes this so much worth than one can describe in words. Honestly very good tool for complete beginners and advanced learners of Japanese language. Well done!.W.R.£.D.1.$.Version: 1.3.47

✓ Great appOnly 11$ for all the lessons! totally worth it - includes hiragana, katakana, kanji, verbs, adjectives, etc. really helps you learn how to write and use the language with pronunciation :)).Izumi miyuraVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Very goodThis is a good app but I just wanted to address that the stroke order for Ro in katakana seems a bit off.Ervine SVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Very good app!This app is really good! I don’t know the extent of Japanese grammar this app covers but by the looks of it covers most of the important ones. And it covers them well. Good standalone or supplementary app for your Japanese studies!.HahahahahagoodVersion: 1.3.39

✓ It's good but not freeGood and easy to use. Will say that the free version has 3 levels... If you want all the hiragana levels it is $3 and if you the full thing it's $10.Gold sticker for GoogleVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Good.Good for beginners..Beethoven the dogVersion: 1.3.6

✓ Only one lesson is free...I don’t want to be “that person” but this is ana amazing app and that makes you pay for every lesson after vowels. i really liked it and the way it’s set up lets you trace, match characters to letters, match letters to characters, and try on your own. you can also redo the lesson if you need. i was really learning and doing good and about to move on but to move to the next lesson i would need to pay. it made me upset because i am not in a position to be paying the app and i realize they need money but i was really hopeful for this app and out of 6 apps this was the most helpful. i don’t want to give a bad review for money issues but at the same time i might have to delete the app and i wouldn’t recommend even downloading unless you are willing to pay for it because there isn’t any option to keep learning unless you pay. i really wish i could give 5 stars because from what i see it’s an amazing app and well developed and extremely helpful for learning japanese but the least you could do is say like- a couple lessons a day instead of unlimited unless you pay. instead one lesson and you have to pay from then out. i really hope my review is taken into consideration and i can learn because as i’ve said it’s an amazing app and i don’t see anything wrong with it. you can go back and redo lessons if you forget and the design for learning is amazing. please make this affordable for those who can’t pay and i would gladly change my review but until then....Potato_AppleSauceVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Highly recommend!The app is really good for beginner learners. It’s very easy to use and I think it’s worth getting. I personally think the price is fair with the amount of learning experience you’re able to obtain..Kohi MirukuVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Awesome!I’ve only just downloaded this but already I can tell you this it’s interface is much better than some other apps out there. I’m learning and it’s staying in there! So cheap to unlock all the levels too.KiaStuartVersion: 1.3.16

✓ Great!It’s a great complementary tool for learning Japanese. Well worth the price..MisterBlue1972Version: 1.3.39

✓ MehIt’s good except for the fact that you have to pay money. Can you make a free Version please..Bird •^• 1155Version: 1.3.47

✓ Good, almost perfectThere are a few features they could add. I’ve sent a message to their team but never heard anything so I guess it’ll never improve. Maybe it’s better to invest money in an app that’s constantly being updated to reflect what users want.MamasboiiVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Great appIt's really worth it if you're trying to learn Japanese. The lessons don't cost too much for what you get. I would recommend it..AmIcoolYet?Version: 1.1.10

✓ It’s greatEven though I bought all the lessons by accident (due to the home button pay function), I honesty have no regrets. I really enjoy that I can use the app offline. The lesson are great..Dani-The oneVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Awesome app! I have a suggestionI love this app. It goes into basic baby steps to teach Japanese, or you can skip the easy steps if you already know them. I love how it teaches you memorization by actually writing the symbols and matching them to the words they correspond. I’d like to make a suggestion though, when returning to steps already completed, I’d love it if it could start with asking you to draw the symbols rather than teach you them from the start and then teaching them again if you fail. This way, when we return to review, we can test ourselves in these specific areas without having to learn everything all over again..Monsterelite128Version: 1.3.39

✓ Best app I ever unlocked the full version ofIn duolingo it just has you remember the symbol by itself, this one does it in groups of like sounds, then the next lesson is with the same symbol but with the extra mark (like ki ke ka to gi ge ga).I highly suggest the writing part on because it helps immensely in memorizing them. If you click on the chart on the top it’ll show you what you need help memorizing with colors, like red is just learned, yellow you need work on and green means you got it down and it labels the lesson as “learned” so you can keep track of what you learned and need help with. I also appreciate that in some of the questions it’ll show the letters in classic calligraphy style so it teaches you what it looks like when written that way also. This app is perfect for learning Japanese 10/10 would recommend, the price is so worth it..FramzeeVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Incorrect hiragana for handwritingThis is generally a good app for quick revision and keeping the stroke orders fresh in your head. Unfortunately one issue is that when tracing the hiragana, it expects the printed form. This is fine for most characters, but incorrect for some. When writing SA さ it expects it to be written as two strokes, in the typeface style, however this would more frequently be handwritten with three strokes, where the bottom is not connected to the downward stroke. This can be frustrating when trying to revise, as often you’ve actually written the kana correctly, but it tells you it’s wrong. It should really recognise both the handwritten and printed/typeface forms..BhodgsonVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Absolutely brilliantOkay, so the idea of learning Japanese - as a native English speaker - was absolutely terrifying, but this app makes everything SO much simpler. I’ve been using it for a month and already I know half of hiragana off by heart and I’ve only been using it 3-4 times per week. It breaks down huge pieces of information into tiny chunks and just tests you on those, and when you’re confident enough with one set, you can move onto the next set at your own pace and test yourself at any time. If there was one thing I could think of to improve it then it would be the font of the letters. Obviously I’m no expert but I found it a little hard to sometimes make them out when I compare them to how the symbols appear in text on my phone/in other Japanese handwriting. It just seems a little too fancy for amateurs, but other than that I really have no complains. It’s excellent. ありがとうございます！(ᵔᴥᵔ).~Dewy~Version: 1.2.3

✓ Honestly, worth the money.I am a college student and I have been trying to pick this language up for years. I have tried around 11 different apps and although some have helped me learn the alphabet, none of them stuck and I had to rely more on basic memorization than actual activity based learning. I have never bought any app. Never. And I have never made any in-app purchases. This is my only exception. I learned really quickly with the first lesson, and it felt effortless. It has writing, pronunciation, and reading all in one. I really enjoy this app. Made it quick to learn this language and without much effort. Truly worth the 8$ I paid for all the lessons..Veg or gagVersion: 1.3.12

✓ Wow !Just wow ! I have just begin the learning of the Japanese, after have learn the english, and wow ! In 5 min, i have learn 4 letters in japanese and how to write it ! Yes is not amazing, but its a begin i think ! Thanks you so much !.Loup664Version: 1.3.47

✓ DEFINITELY WORTH ITDefinitely worth for people want to practice Hiragana through writing. Motor skill retain our memory better than just verbally speak or read the words. Inexpensive investment for Japanese learner app..VeoqlndhxufhebwspfijVersion: 1.3.33

✓ Great appThis app has been great for helping learn basic Japanese. It has a good level of interaction and has regular tests that revisit the areas you need to focus on.Sezza4322Version: 1.2.7

✓ Loving it! Thank god pricing is not subscriptionSo many other apps have horridly expensive subscriptions. I guess it works but I don’t buy those. This app is less than the price of 1 month of the others and you get it forever..DeeykeVersion: 1.3.37

✓ Love this appRight now I'm trying to self-teach myself Japanese and of all the ones I've downloaded from the store that's free this is one of the best and most helpful! It allows me to review and highlights which ones I need to go over again. It also quizzes me in a matching card like format where when I do get a hiragana incorrect then it makes me review it until I get them right. It still highlights what I struggled with. There's also a cool feature where it pronounces it for me. This app is very user-friendly! I hope anyone that wants to refresh or learn Japanese basics (katakana, hiragana and more) to use this app. I wish I could give it more than just 5 stars..SelestreVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Finally something to help me remember particles!This app approaches the language in the same order as formal learning. It makes a lot more sense than DuoLingo Japanese. It’s no frills, but just what I needed..PlanetdesVersion: 1.5.8

✓ Highly recommended. I use it a lot.This is an excellent app, very useful for learning quickly in a series of short lessons. It’s a nice complement to Duolingo. There was a small issue when I tried to install on a second device but that was sorted very quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended..PaulButler999Version: 1.3.48

✓ Favourite learning appI have loads of these on my phone but this app takes the cake. I use this with my Apple Pencil and going through the stroke order is helpful. Don’t get me wrong I still practise writing with an actual pen but the way this ensures you are reviewing what you have learnt so you retain it is super helpful. I liked this app so much that I bought it because this app will last me a lifetime when I get lazy and need to refresh my hiragana/katakana knowledge. ありがとう！.Ril3y-LVersion: 1.3.48

✓ I would like the full ap!It’s very good.. I wish I hadn’t bought one section as now I don’t want to pay the full amount to get the rest! Any chance of a refund of the difference?? I think this ap is a bargain. Simple breakdown of each sound and aid to writing. My only gripe is the sensitivity of some letters won’t let you pass it unless it’s perfect and some you can write sloppy as anything! One moment it says you have passed then it says you need to review.. other than those slight things I still think it’s a good informative app to use alongside other learning apps to give you a great grasp on the language Thanks.CatscreamVersion: 1.3.33

✓ So far so good!I did the first lesson and instantly realised I was learning better. I bought the full version (£7.99 at the time of writing this) and it's been very helpful. I can't be sure of the extent to which this app will help but it's definitely a good stepping stone into the language at the very least. Update: In hindsight it's pretty expensive given there are apps similar or better for free!.Jack HBVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Love it!I’m only just starting out learning Japanese. And this app is helping me learn the basic hiragana and katakana in my own time. And I’m finding it more and more easy to see a character and know exactly what it is without having to go back to my charts and look it up again. ありがとうございます( ^ω^ ).KeíraVersion: 1.3.16

✓ PerfectProbably the best way to learn through multiple different exercises. Writing, reading and listening as well as a chance to practice cold turkey.RossappletonVersion: 1.5.19

✓ Subarashii!!Just the kind of app I was looking for. Well suited for my needs. I work a lot and my studies get put on the back burner. This app is accessible, easy to use, helps me remember small chunks at once and there isn't much reading. Nice!.DayniegVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Best way I have found to learn KanjiGreat for flash card type learning. No subscription needed..Sean ordinaryVersion: 1.5.21

✓ Great app for beginners!I hope that with more people downloading this app, purchasing the additional lessons and leaving feed back the app will continue to improve :) ありがとう！.FallowFoxVersion: 1.2.11

✓ SatisfiedThis app is affordable and worth every penny. I love the review and repetition of exercises. It’s brought me a long way with my Japanese.Maddy T9Version: 1.3.48

✓ Great learning toolHas been incredibly helpful as a supplementary tool for learning Japanese. Can be completed and practiced in short intervals through the day making it good for busy schedules or to make killing time more productive..DazzzzzzzzzahVersion: 1.3.37

✓ App overview!I enjoy using this app! I am beginning to teach myself Japanese and I’m starting off with Hiragana first. I love how it’s broken down into Hiragana-and has lessons with using Hiragana. Also, with Katana it has the lessons to go along with each specific part! I also use this with my daughter so she can listen and follow along as well!!! This has helped me so much and I will be purchasing the full bundle in order to have access to everything within the app! I need to invest in getting some hiragana and katana writing practice sheets to work on my writing (currently using two notebooks) one for vocabulary and grammar! I would recommend anyone to get this app and see if you like it! It’s great for beginners in addition to the other Japanese learning apps that I have I’m learning at a very fast rate with the hiragana so far! Love, love,love it!!!.JessiesaysVersion: 1.3.22

✓ Good so farGood app so far. I just wish it had the little pictures that help picture the character. Like the picture of the thorn in the toe for TO and so on. They really help picture the characters better..Wookie731Version: 1.1.10

✓ Upgrade is 100% worth it!I've been using Duolingo to study Japanese for 5 months or so and I've learned more with this app in a week than I have with duo for the whole time I've had it. Drawing the characters really helps me memorize them quickly and there's so much information to learn with this app. The character recognition when you draw them works about 90% of the time. I know it's important to draw strokes of characters in a certain order and if you don't do it in the right order it'll tell you it's wrong, which is super helpful because I know can't just draw whatever I want and get it right. Grind this for like 30 minutes a day and you'll be good with basic Japanese in no time..Ghost😎😎Version: 1.3.33

✓ Connect this language more deeply with your mindI have wanted to learn Japanese for some time. Free apps like Duo__ (you know that one) are pretty great, but incomplete for Japanese in one particular and significant way, at least for how I discovered I need to learn. Although I added the appropriate language keyboard so I could immerse myself more, I still didn't feel like I was connecting the sounds with the the characters, and more importantly, I didn't quite feel like it was connecting with me yet. I need to learn how to write them in my own hand, to feel the language too. This app does just that, and I've only done Katagana lesson 1. I will be buying the full suite of lessons, though! The only feedback I have, which is why it's 4 stars and not 5, is that I would love the option to practice just one syllable/character over and over. (I'm having tremendous trouble with mastering あ for some reason.) That aside, this app is exactly what I was hoping it would be!.CyberHezVersion: 1.3.33

✓ I don’t regret my purchase, butI wish that the app wouldn’t mess up my SRL learning stuff by saying I got the “same character” wrong 3 times in a row, because it gave me a false “wrong” in the beginning of writing a character with 4 strokes. The writing section could use some improvement. Oftentimes I can chalk up a “bad wrong” to “oh, I was writing sloppily,” but I’ve found about 10% of the time, the app tells me my strokes are incorrect for a completely unknown reason. I say this can be fixed by making the writing section less sensitive, but that’s not very feasible considering it already gives some pretty interesting false positives. Maybe add a pop-up message that triggers when a user makes 2-3 mistakes in quick succession (less than 0.33 seconds apart) during writing sections that just says “Slow down, it’s saying you’re wrong because you’re off center/the line needs to curve/etc.” Sometimes the issue isn’t entirely obvious from the “start/end” green/red dots. Overall, to echo another user it’s better than Duolingo (which isn’t a very high bar to hit; duolingo is a scam), I feel like I am genuinely learning. The Kanji version of this app is also just as amazing. I’m excited to learn a new language with these!.Aevi GataVersion: 1.5.14

✓ AmazingMy little corona lockdown project. One of the best apps out there to learn japanese. You get to learn step by step, quiz yourself and improve speaking reading and writing at the same time. Incredible tool. Been using it for over a month and I’m surprised at how much I’ve learnt. Absolutely worth spending the cash to unlock all the lessons. THANK YOU!!.Fierce Fluff Mc BubblyVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Fantastic & SimpleThis is one of the few games/apps I’ve ever paid for outright on the App Store almost immediately. It’s very simple and streamline but actually helps me *learn*. The Genki apps are worthless in comparison. I can easily recall in apps like Duolingo but making me pull from memory without multiple choice is something entirely different. AND it teaches hiragana/katakana with stroke order. That was a game changer for me. It’s entirely worth the few dollars to go ahead and purchase without a doubt. Great for quick practice. I just started into “basics” on this app as I was just using it to memorize kana but I’ll definitely continue through the lessons as a review and supplement to my other learning material. (I use Genki I & Japanese from Zero as well as KawaiiNihongo for my main sources btw).BBradley25Version: 1.4.1

✓ High qualityOnly $3 to learn Hiragana I love it. An amazing app. I am travelling to Japan for a month and want to be able to read some things. Fun to learn and lets you draw the characters. I haven’t done the katakana or kanji yet and I’m sure they’re fabulous too..Sgtpepper1119Version: 1.3.23

✓ All katakana and hiraganaThis is great for learning how to read hiragana and katakana. It uses a repeat flash card type method to help you learn each block of characters. So you learn a I e u o before you can move onto ka ki ke ku ko then g.... It also teaches you phrases and words and you can begin to read Japanese fairly easily. However, there's a separate app to read Chinese Kanji. But you can defo learn katakana and hiragana and hundreds of words/phrases in a summer if you pay the £4.49 for the app which is better than others that I've seen.BabyinksVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Great app, just a few little bugsThis is a really effective app for learning Japanese. Just a couple of issues such as some of the hiragana writing practice can be super sensitive and not let you ‘pass’. For example trying to write ‘o’ or ‘me’ it never accepts my attempt even though I am super accurate. Also when translating sentences in the ‘verbs’ section sometimes it gives you a short sentence to translate which is fine, but then there are blank spaces for two sentences and lots of elements to choose from but no clue as to what the second sentence is that needs to be translated. With a bunch of trial and error you finally work it out. But a very effective app and well worth the $12..TorupillVersion: 1.3.27

✓ Pretty good, just a little problemIt was going amazing up until i was told to write "ha" in which i did but it told me i was incorrect??? i had put in the write character and repeatedly tried too.HananiakVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Just started but I’m Happy with itWanted to learn Japanese and downloaded this app, it was exactly what I was wanting. Would recommend constantly repeating each of the basic levels and just keep pushing further each time. I am currently aiming to do at least 2 hours a week and hopefully will be at the level I am aiming for by 3 years from now. I bought the app within 24 hours I was that confident in it. Hopefully I can complete this entire app and then if I still need more help I can see where I am at in 1 years. PS can’t wait to understand Japanese anime without needing subtitles 😎.Juriya420Version: 1.3.33

✓ Great appGreat app, I’ve been using it daily. However after the latest update now I can’t open the app. It crashes before I can open. Please fix the bug as I need this app!.Tally tellyVersion: 1.3.45

✓ Very Good! No need for papersI cannot say anything as it is a Good practice worksheet. I learned the hiragana and katakana basics in 3 days. My enthusiasm in learning Japanese boosted because of this app. I will not elaborate but just try it 🥰😎 Please make an app for reading hiragana and katakana stories with romaji and English translation !🙏.Blended kopiVersion: 1.3.47

✓ I finally learned kanaI’d tried so many times but they’d never stay learnt for very long. The amount of quick practice with immediate correction I was able to do with this app is what finally FINALLY helped me. The grammar and vocab lessons are a good intro..PoppyEchoVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Love !!!Hello I absolutely love this app. I learned to memorise hiragana and katakana confidently enough using this app that I started buying manga to practice!! I’m actually now using the same app to learn Hangul. Incredibly low one off payment for a truly worthwhile app. It’s brilliant I love it..FukyournamesVersion: 1.3.46

✓ Good until…Perfect app to learn Japanese! That’s what I thought until when trying to review all learned characters in hiragana it didn’t let me proceed to the next question when I got Ko, go, ku, or gu. Although that really annoying bug is still there, I’ve been enjoying this app a lot to give it a 4 star rating and with it fixed, I’d easily give it 5 stars. Users have to pay for lessons which isn’t a problem for me, it was a one time payment which I was extremely happy about. I wouldn’t mind paying more for it as what you end up getting out of it is worth the money. Overall, this is an awesome app and with a bit of debugging it would be even awesomer! Thanks dev team for doing what you can !.JboryerVersion: 1.5.8

✓ Great valueI’ve been trying to learn Japanese for a while and haven’t gotten very far. I keep getting the characters mixed up. For $11, you get a ton of lessons and review. I like the simple and clear grammar explanations, and how the app enforces using the correct strokes for each character when writing. I’m looking forward to using this app more!.Jellbell49Version: 1.3.39

✓ Great app, but lots of bugs...EDIT: The developer released an update today! I haven’t tested it yet, but I’m upping this review to 4 stars (original review was 3 stars) because I appreciate the developer’s responsiveness. I’ll bump up to 5 if I notice things have improved Original: I’m halfway through the hiragana lessons, and I’m liking this app so far, esp the writing part. However, even during my short use, the app has crashed several times, and there have been many bugs. Scrolling sometimes doesn’t work, the “review past due” button disappears, even when there are things to review, and the multiple choice sometimes bugs out and repeats the same question but with the wrong answers hidden... These are annoying, but the content is so good, so 3 stars.Fan3847202039Version: 1.2.7

✓ Perfect app for learning how to write Japanese!I started learning Japanese with Duolingo, and they though they have a separate section for learning characters, the app pushed me into writing the characters without any hints way too quickly! Plus there was no way to study JUST writing. First off, I LOVE THAT THIS APP IS A ONE TIME PAYMENT!! Personally I’m wayy more likely to invest in an app if there is no subscription, and I hold a vehement hatred toward all subscription services outside of tv/internet, especially for apps!! Second, I’m only on the second lesson so far but I went ahead and paid for all of the lessons! This app is really helping me with memorization and actually explains things that Duolingo did not (like how characters look different when typed vs written, I had no idea and Duolingo didn’t explain it to me when having me write). I very rarely write reviews for apps (I can’t remember the last time I did), but I really believe this app is worth the money!! Thank you developer and I hope your hard work is paying off!.Get iiiiittttVersion: 1.5.8

✓ A small glitch!I believe this app is absolutely amazing for learning Japanese, but I have encountered a small glitch. I am not sure if it is the app or my device (iPad Pro 1 gen) but after a while, using the writing tool in lessons completely stopped working, as in when I try to write something, nothing happened, no 'ink' is coming out of this 'pen'. Otherwise I love this app!.Kitpup_powerVersion: 1.3.48

✓ Would seriously recommendAs the title says, I recommend downloading this app. The one feature I like about this app is the ability to test you on how you write your hiragana and katakana. It is a very useful feature that can help in learning Japanese especially when stroke is a major importance when learning Japanese. I don’t see this feature often in an app, so that is a plus. The one issue that I have with this app so far is that I had a problem writing あ a couple times even though I was sure to have wrote it correctly. It is only that character that I am having problems writing. Other than that, good app, and I hope to see more added to this app. The upgrade is worth it..Um0nkunVersion: 1.2.7

✓ The simplest and best appThis and the partner kanji app are fantastic tools to learn Japanese. They provide a great foundation in Japanese language. If you work your way through the apps over a year or so you can then move on to learning and conversation one on one..Tonk68Version: 1.3.23

✓ So far so good!This application has allowed me to learn hiragana and katakana in a month. I probably could have learnt them in two weeks had I worked harder. I cannot rate levels 3-4 as I have not done those yet however I find that so far this app has been a massive help in learning japanese!.Guy learning japaneseVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Very effectiveThis is a great app. I have been using it in conjunction with Japanese from zero. Very useful just to be able to pull out your phone on a bus and practice. You can choose to simply learn to recognise the characters or learn to write the A’s well..StumrobVersion: 1.3.27

✓ Hi this sounds good news for you guys because I actually like the game.🥰🥰🥰🥰.SunLenesVersion: 1.5.11

✓ GreatThe app seems to be really good. I’ve been enjoying it so far. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to make purchases via the app so I cannot progress..MichalovyVersion: 1.3.35

✓ Good app to learn but..I really enjoyed doing the first lesson but i have to pay for another lesson. Yes, the company does have to make money in a way but I would have liked to have at least one more. Thankfully they didn’t use ads like other learning apps. Something I think would be nice to add is a place where you can select the background. Yes the background is cool but I just feel like it would add that ✨touch✨ Overall 4/5.Geibby GarabanVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Great helperI’ve been using this app for a few weeks and it’s pretty great! I’ve been using it every day and can already write most of the kana and say some basic phrases. The only gripe I have is with the writing. It’s mostly good, but a few letters are weirdly picky and don’t register as right even if you’re near perfect. It might not be so bad if it showed what it thinks you’re doing wrong. This can get really frustrating as some review tests won’t complete until you get it right on the first try. It’s only a few letters (よand ほ have been particularly bad). Most are reasonable and some are actually a little too lenient, counting my answer as right even when I write the wrong letter (I sometimes still mix up ひ and へ and it gives me credit) Still very much worth it!.HazzmaxVersion: 1.3.33

✓ Great appI have not learned Japanese before and after using this app I finding it a lot easier and fun to learn the basics. I recommend this app for anyone that is interested in learning Japanese for the first time..MrGTisereVersion: 1.3.33

✓ JapaneseJust love this app! Got it yesterday because I decided to set myself a challenge to learn Japanese which I’ve always wanted to do! I got a notebook and I review everything I’ve learnt which is helpful but just using the app works too. You do have to buy the lessons but I think buying all the lessons for the amount it is, is a very good price! Love this app!.Aerial danceVersion: 1.3.33

✓ すごい！Tbh, this is the best app I've found for learning Japanese, and although you have to pay a bit to learn everything the app has to offer, it's completely worth it. Also I think that the way that it teaches you is awesome! I looked ahead through the last chapters and saw that it had the hiragana you learned at the beginning then gave the meaning of the word the characters created, and had the kanji underneath. And if you've heard of other things to learn Japanese like a website called lingualift (which costs $15), I think that this half price app is the same quality or better, and although this is just my opinion and you may not agree, you should still get the app and try the free version and see for yourself! I didn't check, but if this company doesn't have any other language learning apps, I would love to see them make some!.Livycat88Version: 1.1.10

✓ Look no further for learning Hiragana100% worth it. I’m able to learn and retain new characters so easily with the app’s simple and repetitive style of teaching. The graphics and design are also very visually pleasing and make it fun to use. 10/10 would recommend..BfjdgakebegaghdVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Brilliant app!I have just committed to learning to speak Japanese for a 50th birthday in Japan. With 2000 words making up 70% of spoken Japanese, and hiragana and katakana being their sounds, this app is the ONLY one that teaches you how to write the characters. There are other resources (eg Genki 1) but these assume high level command of languages; this app starts you off at vowel sounds and how to write them out! Very quickly you start to be able to spot common characters and sounds that you will use. I use this app in conjunction with a book (2000 common words in Japanese). Apps that show videos of someone ELSE writing the hiragana and katakana are £70 wasted for a beginner. 10 words per day and being able to write them all means in 6 months I will be somewhere near confident...wait out - review updates to follow!.Owen MooreVersion: 1.3.46

✓ Excellent AppHaving recently begun learning Japanese, this app is ideal for me. After a few days of use, I can already form a variety of simple sentences. However, while this app does help with character recognition (through a multiple choice style interface), practical writing experience is essential for learning characters fully. I have just one suggestion: it would have been great if I could have purchased the different Howell Peebles apps (like "Kanji!") as a single bundle..StygianShurVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Really well made appI’ve had many Japanese learning apps, and this comes very high up. It makes you see, hear, and trace the letters, which makes me more likely to remember it. Very clever! You also learn the proper strokes and in what order to do them! I really am enjoying the app, well worth buying the premium content!.NicaRodVersion: 1.3.39

✓ J-FThe lessons are very useful for beginners, however I haven’t been able to use the app even one time without bugs interfering. Very frustrating!.J-FGVersion: 1.3.19

✓ Excellent for this beginnerI’ve used this app daily for 20 minutes routinely, since July 2018 to begin learning Japanese. I like the easy access to individual character sets, charts and the revision reminders. I like traffic light system showing which characters are still not know well yet or have been forgotten, shown in red. I love the full sensory learning, read, listen, say, write. I had no idea of the bredth of the Japanese written language and its deep historical connection with the Chinese language, amazing! It is now November and I feel I can remember and write with support of this app, the entire hiragana and katakana charts in the app which is a great start to beginning to recognise words and so I am slowly picking up vocabulary and simple sentence structure quicker that if I had tried to just randomly pick up sentences here and there. I am beginning to recognise a few of the kanji symbols because of this app. Knowing the hiragana chart, and the katakana chart helps immensely with forming and recognising words, then forming structurally correct sentences amd matching these with the Kanji. Downside If I’ve been on for more than an hour the app starts glitching. So I have had to shut the phone down to reset or delete and reload the app..PaapereVersion: 1.3.27

✓ Perfect!Great app! Works well with my style of learning, and the best by far of several apps I tried. Would recommend people give it a try. Only issue has been trying to use the feedback in app. Would like to be able to reset each level. Tried all of them before purchasing, and after learning Hiragana and Katakana, I’ve forgotten all the stuff I did with level three several weeks ago! Am looking forward to trying the Kanji!! App. :).Cadius76Version: 1.2.10

✓ GreatBest app iv used to learn hiragana, it groups hiragana into phonetically similar categories and shows you the character along with the sound and then you can draw it and it recognises whether you did it correctly or not. It’s the easiest, simplest, quickest and most efficient way to learn hiragana so far I’m really impressed especially since I had bought text books such as the Japanese from zero series and I found it super hard to get a hang of writing..VanillianaVersion: 1.3.33

✓ Perfect for learning characters and complementing DuolingoI’ve been using Duolingo for Japanese learning for a couple of months now. This app perfectly complements it with a strong focus on individual character recognition and grouping and also teaches writing stroke order. These are areas that Duolingo fails to address well or at all. As someone who loves the Japanese alphabet (and Western typography) this is also a great standalone application for script and calligraphy practice. Delighted..PatchrobeVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Very easy but annoyedI’m a bit angry because to be able to learn everything I need to pay I am going to do it tho cause this app is very easy to use and yea but otherwise good.SoggyjuiceVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Amazing App!There are a few lessons given for free so you can test the app out before you buy it. I bought the upgrade and I'm not disappointed. It teaches you hiragana and katakana then teaches you the basics of speech then onto verbs, questions, and then adjectives. It's super thorough and makes sure you have a good understanding before you proceed to the next lesson. But if you already know hiragana and katakana then you don't have to do that level. Someone was concerned because the characters are highly stylized. This is true but underneath the title of the lesson is the characters you're about to learn and they are written normally. If you are committed to it, this app will help you learn very fast! So if you want to learn the language this app is definitely worth the money..SydgracesimsVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Very awesomeSince I have a lot of time on my hands I thought how amusing would it be to learn a new language. So I picked Japanese. I’m not a manga fan by any stretch of the imagination. But I want to learn how to write and read. Though I know English and French, learning a completely new language and new vocabulary with different letters is a challenge that I’m exited to take one. This app is making things easy..VIKINGCLAWAXEVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Excellent app, but finicky registrationRight off the bat, if you are learning hiragana and katakana I would recommend getting this app. Put simply, it is very effective in teaching you the characters as well as breaking them up into manageable chunks. My main issue with the app is that for some reason it will mark your writing as wrong even if you are near perfect on the tracing. This consistently happens for me on characters つ, づ, and む. I genuinely can’t figure out what I am doing wrong and it’s honestly pretty aggravating. The other odd thing is that compared to the fore mentioned there seems to a large window for your marks to be off, but still get the answer correct. This actually really nice when you’re first starting out as it gives you room refine your mark making as you continue to study. It’s definitely a worthy study app and one that is worth the small price. Highly recommend..LadyowlVersion: 1.5.5

✓ Just what I was looking for!Quick and to the point! Absolutely worth my $8. I like the "review all" button and writing feature, both of which Duolingo does not have. If I had to suggest some features to add it would be the ability to write characters with more strokes and a backspace button for when you write it wrong and need to restart writing. Overall this a wonderful app that is so useful for learning to write and identify characters fast. I see many lessons and I'm excited to do them all. Thank you to the developer for making this wonderful resource..Capn HarriotVersion: 1.5.4

✓ Very impressedI tried the first lesson of the hiragana corse and I was impressed at how simple the app made it. On each level, (hiragana, katakana, kanji, basics, questions, verbs and adjectives) you got given a small ‘taster.’ I couldn’t help but pay to learn all the lessons in each levels. At first I thought “it’s going to be very difficult” but I can easily say that once you’ve got the first two down, (hiragana and katakana) it makes everything else so much easier! Definitely worth the money and if you think you won’t be able to remember all the symbols then it would help to practice writing them down as you go. However, the app tells you what you need to improve on as you’re going. I can easily say that I love it and I would definitely recommend to people that have an interest in the language!.SkipstreamVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Love itIt does cost $11 for everything but I think it’s worth it. This app makes learning characters and grammar very easy compared to other apps I’ve tried. If you’re willing to spend a little cash this app is for you.Libby1st👍🏼👍🏼Version: 1.3.47

✓ Clear and easyI personally am starting to learn Japanese and needed an app that can teach me the basics and get me started on the road. This app was the perfect fit, it offered all of the kana, some kanji and basic words and phrases. My favorite part was the way it taught you everything from the pronunciation of every word and kana to even teaching you how to write each and every kana and then repeating what you learned to make sure you don’t forget. It also shows you the content to be reviewed every now and then to keep your learning in check. I would recommend purchasing all of the lessons because this app is worth the money..Mr IHVersion: 1.2.7

✓ MUCH better than DuolingoI’ve been testing a few means to learn Japanese in the last few months, and rate this one above them all. I purchased all levels as the learning is structured and makes a lot more sense than chaotic, “intuitive” Duolingo. Use this app to learn the grammar, work on your vocabulary and you’ll see the benefits very quickly. I really like how you learn the kana and kanji together! It’s also aesthetically pleasing and has no irritating sounds. 10/10..SatchkatVersion: 1.3.38

✓ The very best way to learn HiraganaThe intuitive hints, logic and drills built into this app are just great… I have made really good progress since starting and highly recommend this for all beginner students of Japanese..Aussie DazzoVersion: 1.3.48

✓ Great appThis is a great app when learning hiragana and katakana and is simple enough with its quick exercises and staggered stages that it doesn't confuse you with too much information. I managed to learn all hiragana in less than two weeks and have just moved on to katakana, working at about the same pace. This may seem like a long time in theory but considering it has worked alongside my relatively busy schedule, I'd call that a success. Price is a little high but probably worth it in the long run! Perhaps the addition of a stroke order guide or exercise would be helpful to understand how the characters are actually written?.Christai23Version: 1.1.10

✓ BrilliantI've begun Japanese and I needed something that was quick and easy and can teach and quiz me, this app is perfect for that. I don't spend money on apps often, but I was very excited to press that purchase button and see all the new lessons open up to me. Wonderful job guys.SashaiX_XVersion: 1.1.10

✓ PerfectDownloaded a few apps and played around until I was hit with a paywall and did not feel enough of an impression to pay for them. When I started using this one, its simplicity and fast pace actually really helped. I really enjoyed using the first lesson up to the paywall, and ran through it again before I decided this app is worth the $7 payment. Its simplicity just feels so clean and the lessons are very fun to do. Im actually taking away alot more than I thought I would. Anyone considering learning to read and write japanese, I fully recommend this app! The repetition is actually a serious help as I can breeze through a bunch of lessons because I taught myself to memorize characters and sounds from writing and hearing them over and over again. Im only about halfway through hirigana, but I feel as though it has already been money well spent. It will even tell you what you need to review from precious lessons to get better at the lesson you are currently on. Fantastic app!.Brady0124Version: 1.3.47

✓ Great app!I love this app!! I’ve been taking it steady by learning the hiragana vowels first on this app, then writing them out line after line on a bit of paper to soak it in. I then re visit the section I’ve learnt before moving on. I decided to buy the whole hiragana level one section because I like it so much but I didn’t realise I payed £7.99 for ALL the sections on the app, not just hiragana level one!! I’m so freaking happy right now with this app 😁.JustAllexxVersion: 1.3.47

✓ Perfect!I love this app as it is the best app I have gotten so far! The prices are affordable and very easy to learn Japanese! I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who is interested in learning Japanese or if you are studying it. Great job!.Spy Ninjas!Version: 1.3.47

✓ Great appGreat app to learn Japanese characters. I had a few difficulties with it at some times but the developers were kind enough to help me get through them. Would definitely recommend..AngrymeringueVersion: 1.3.39

✓ Fails to updateIPhone 15.4.1 iOS.R_chiffletVersion: 1.4.5

✓ Great but not perfectI only picked up Japanese recently and this app has been a godsend, however for those wondering you have to pay for all the lessons (which is fair, the developers do need get something for their work) and the tracing mechanics need some work, I have drawn scribbles as an act of frustration and I got the character correct but in some cases a perfectly fine character will be incorrect for no apparent reason. These are rare I admit but it’s rather annoying when you’re studying..SB7734Version: 1.3.33

✓ AmazingThis is a great app which makes learning Japanese easy and fun. It helps you by repeating the symbols if you are struggling to learn them and also tells you when you need to review certain groups. Couple this with physically writing the symbols in the app should make the process of learning then all very easy!.Guff26Version: 1.3.4

✓ Must-Have App for Beginner 日本語I don’t care to write reviews often or purchase apps for that matter, but after the ‘Japanese!’ app was integral to my learning of ひらがな and カタカナ, I had to share my thoughts. The app has definitely come a long way, even since I started almost two years ago. They’re have been a plethora of features added to better it. The simplicity and ease as well as the learning method similar to Anki/flashcards has always made me come back to brush up. Stroke order and dakuten are simulated for correct teaching. If any issues or bugs come about, the dev is quick to make changes and is always open to feedback. This is a must-have app for any beginner!.WindexSwagVersion: 1.5.8

✓ Truly a Golden Experience 🥶This app is pretty nice, and the one-time purchase for All Lessons is a pretty good deal with a discount. I started learning Japanese just a month ago, using some flashcards and a paper and pencil to memorize the characters. I figured that it was taking too long for me to memorize all of them manually, and I kept losing motivation. So, I decided to download an app on my phone to help me learn Japanese. I mean, I'm always on my phone, as a teenager. I finally have an app that actually contributes to my knowledge. This is a great app to download if you want to learn Japanese, and it's not that expensive either, compared to hiring a teacher to teach you. I'm look forward to learning Japanese! ( ◠‿◠ ).Sn0w is c00lVersion: 1.5.15

✓ Very helpfulWithout this app I might have given up. Learning the hiragana and katakana is very fun. If you want to learn Japanese and have money to spend then this is the app for you. It helps me memorize a lot. However, while tracing some symbols, it identifies it as written the wrong way when I followed the lines the exact way it’s supposed to go. Just before writing this review I was learning the n set and I was on this one に and almost every time I trace it it thinks it is wrong. It’s very frustrating which drove me to leave this review. Developer, if you’re reading this please fix it because now every time I write a symbol without the guide I hesitate and I’m being careful which I don’t think is your intention. But thank you for making this app it helped a lot..Mae_reviewsVersion: 1.4.8

✓ Perfect for beginners but...As the title says, it’s a great app for beginners who just started to learn the Japanese language. It provides most of the necessary grammar and words to converse with your Japanese friends. It also serve as a good refresher for those who learned the language but did not practice it on a daily basis such as myself. In less than 2 weeks of finishing the lessons, I would say it reminded me about 60% of what I learned from my Japanese courses back in University. However, I also expected more from this app to be bug free and have more lessons. Specifically speaking, sometimes I notice the voice to say something unrelated to what I had correctly constructed my sentence (usually the sentence construction right after the example step). I also notice a few of the grammar to not have the correct choice of Japanese words to be picked up from to form the correct sentence. In terms of lessons, I was expecting there to be lessons on past affirmative and negative tenses to teach beginners how to say stuff like “I ate pie last Wednesday” or “I did not had apple last weekend” and so on. Also, to have lessons about thoughts like “I think that is a great idea” would also seem beneficial. Hopefully these changes would be fix in the next update with additional content with no extra charges..RedEqXVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Huge helpI’ve begun learning Japanese with the infamous Genki 1 & 2 books, adding this app to learn how to write the characters correctly and memorise them has helped incredibly, as well as helping with numbers, basic time and sentencing etc What would be awesome to include in an Anki style flip card review But overall, a massive help and highly recommended to beginners.SteveorrphotoVersion: 1.3.31

✓ Huge BenefitThe Japanese! App was the first step I took in the process of learning Japanese. Though I am still new to learning Japanese this app has helped me greatly. Not only does it teach you to read hiragana and katakana it also teaches you how to write the individual characters, a great step when first learning. Plus also, there are other sections to learn in like vocabulary. Not only is it a great learning device, but it is also easy to use. You do not need any tech skills in order to use the app or understand it. I have never once received an ad on the app, it purely helps me focus on the language and learn. Please consider Japanese! as your starting point in Japanese or as a great practice device for further along Japanese learners..🎈🤡Version: 1.3.40

✓ Very pleased so farI HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS APP. —> As off now I’m a total beginner but I know if I dedicate myself to this app I should some day fully understand all 3 alphabets that are in the language of Japanese, the app is quiet restricted at first but I knew from only doing the fist group in the first hiragana chart that I wanted the expansion, also on top of that the fact you can see what syllables you struggle with and ones you don’t is an amazing addition I loved that little feature, but I know there’s a long way to go but with dedication I am sure this app will lead me on to a good track, the only thing that worries me is that I don’t know but there isn’t really an option to set up an account but if there was I’ve totally forgot. I just think that there should be an account system because say I spend years on this app and my phone gets destroyed I will have to start from scratch as you cannot do a group unless you compliant the one before an that would really annoying as I have also payed for the expansion and if I loose my data and would need to buy it back I probably would but some people might be cheap and complain about it but other than that I deeply feel this app is amazing, I would just appreciate the devs would make a system when I can set up an account..DM me at ig cayden turned 18Version: 1.3.47

✓ Great App for Beginners!I really enjoy this app. Paid for the full version and completely hooked! I spent hours learning and reviewing with this app. It is such a delight feature to have writing practices for hiragana and katakana. Is there room for improvement? Yes. It would be so much nicer if it offered more handwriting styles for hiragana. For example, there is the four-stroke ふ taught by most of the Japanese learning sites I’ve seen but the app only accepts three strokes. Also, it would be great if the app allows user to say “I don’t know” for the handwriting part with a blank screen. It happened to me a few times that I didn't know the answer so I drew random doodles and somehow got it “right” (it was not actually right - just match the pattern the app was expecting). Overall, it is more like a 4.5-star but I gave it a 5-star. Recommend this fun app to beginners!.SssymmetryyyVersion: 1.3.33
