Ratings and reviews

Not super great in comparison to other kana learning apps. Please consider teaching with context rather than just saying what they are. "I opened the door with a き" for example. It would also help learners to understand why stroke order matters when writing. I also know that we all must pay the bills, but this app's paywall happens way too soon. Other apps/programs only lock kanji behind a paywall rather than hira/kata. Overall, not pleased.

The first two lessons are great. There are a few issues, though. The i characters are missing the small よ. For example, the lesson will show ひ and really mean ひょ which can be confusing. Also, I paid for the app, and I cannot use any of the other lessons past 2. I will start lesson 3 get through the first question and the screen will turn blank. I see this is a common issue and hope it is resolved soon. If these issues are fixed, I think I'd give it 5 stars. Edit: this has been fixed.

The app was very useful until the big update a couple months ago, now a bunch of the lessons are completely bugged out and unable to be completed. I sent multiple bug reports via the in-app feedback form, but now it's been over a month with no fixes. It was good to learn how to write kanji, but now the vocab and grammar are just broken. I'll be using their other kanji app instead until this is resolved.

What’s new

-Added note to distinguish between ず, づ, じ, ぢ etc in writing review quizzes.
-Made the writing lesson for め less strict.
