Ratings and reviews

I really like this app and I'm definitely making progress with my Japanese! My only big issue is the Al is way too lenient. Even when I ask it to be strict, it ignores my mistakes at times. I've even mispronounced words on purpose to test it. Also, it would be great if it automatically told me my mistakes during drills. Overall, good app. It is a bit clunky at times, but the subscription is worth it.

I enjoy its communication style - its friendly but theres no fear of repercussions for failure (where as things like Duolingo you lose energy, get penalized for not learning good enough) I enjoy the way it gives me written language while also providing me the English phonetic transcription so I know how to sound it out. The UI is also user friendly - really enjoying it so far!

I fine it interesting, the test is challenging it made me use my brain to think the next words what to say. I am learning hoping to improve my conversation level soon.
