Very laggy, audio sounds robotic, and does not teach stroke order (which the ad that showed me this app specifically said "learn to write kana" this only teaches reading). However, the entirety of hiragana and katakana, including the diacritics, appear to be available for free with ads. The app does look nice as well. The quiz feature makes it decent for review.

Hi! Thanks for the kind words on the design and quizzes! We want to fix that lag—could you let us know exactly where it’s happening? Also, just to clarify, Kanana doesn't teach writing yet. If you saw a post saying otherwise, please let us know where! On a bright note, we’ve upgraded the audio quality in the latest version for a better experience.

The actual app is great, but it stopped working. I had learned some hiragana before, but never really got about half the characters to stick in a way that let me effectively read Japanese. Just a few sessions with the app playing through each quiz and then practicing oft mixed up characters got me up to speed and I can read hiragana (slowly) with ease now. However, since those first few sessions and paying for adless, the app started lagging terribly and now won't even open at all.

its helping me learn the japanese alphabet quite well! My only trouble is that i wish the quiz and reading excercises would only include the letters you have already learned. Maybe that way it would be hard to make words for the excercises but they don't necessarily have to be words all the time since its just reading. Otherwise this app is great for beginners.
