Ratings and reviews

Not worth the $2.99. It seemed great at first, until I realized that it doesn't have many important features. There is no "shuffle" for the vocabulary, the words are in the same order every time which is really monotonous. And there isn't even a quiz/flashcard/practice tool for the phrase lists! Disappointing. Otherwise, it's very well designed and rarely crashes.

If this app had a 30-day trial, or a limit of a few hundred words worth of exercises before showing ads, I would consider paying for it. The problem is that it has full screen video ads that you can't click out of. When I get ads like that in an app I just delete the app automatically. I would encourage the developers to try a more creative method of marketing their app. Memrisee and Duolingo offer a lot of value for free before you have to pay for it.

perfect place for beginners who eagerly wants to learn japanese from the scratch. it has everything to practice read, wright or speak. great vocabulary to learn new words. practice daily life sentences.
