Ratings and reviews

it's really good, but the "buy this" stuff it's a bit of an eyesore and it keeps crashing when I finish a unit, I have to close the app and enter once again so it allows me to keep going because otherwise it just keeps the next unit locked with the "you have to finish the previous unit" warning... if it weren't for this things the app would be practically perfect, it's so good to learn new words fast, some grammar rules and the writing order

I like this a lot! I've been looking for an app to switch to since the whole thing w Duo (if you know you know) and so far it's pretty straightforward and teaching the Hiragana w a flashcard type system and matching sounds w each character, which is the exact feature I was looking for in an app. I haven't explored the other settings but there's a lesson courses you can pick from depending on why you want to learn and you can change it any time.

I've enjoyed this app but please fix it! Not only can you not change your password in the app, but you also can't change your email. I do not want to send account details over so they can put in the new password for me. I'd like the app to do what it is supposed to do instead. I should not have to spam the "update" button multiple times to finally get it to let me put I my current password only for it to tell me it's wrong. Plus there is no forgot password option on the app or the site.
