Ratings and reviews

Edit: Since I made this review they locked everything behind a paywall. I got through three very short lessons before it asked me to pay. Like I said it's a supplementary class but not worth paying. Old: I use multiple language learning apps for Japanese and this one is a big help. It's very simple and has lessons to explain the exercise which differs from most other language learning apps. Don't know how well it would work as a stand alone app but definitely helps with learning concepts.

I'm using this app to learn intermediate Japanese (N3 level). It has grammar lessons beyond what I learned in four years of college courses. The explanations are clear and concise, and the exercises are well-structured so that they seem easy but also help you get a good initial feel for each grammar point. I strongly recommend this app as a supplement to anyone learning Japanese at the intermediate level.

As others have mentioned, this app was very helpful. I too am someone who took a break from learning and now that I have returned lessons that I have already completed are now locked behind a pay wall. Perhaps my rating is a bit harsh, I don't think there is anything wrong with charging for a service but for there to not be ANY options available for free, plus other reviewers who have bought the service are expressing disappointment in everything available, I think things should be reconsidered.
