Ratings and reviews

Kana Pro has become part of my confidence/competence loop workflow. I study kana on Tofugu, run some flashcards on Anki, test myself with Kana Pro and repeat. Genuinely no more efficient way to learn kana. Give it 2 weeks of solid effort and you'll have it tucked in the folds of your brain. Of course, this is the first phase on the path to understanding Japanese! Don't stop here!

love the app! exactly what i was looking for to learn hiragana and katakana ! only problem i encountered is that the app can crash on startup so i would need to re-open it to make it function correctly

So far very useful and easy to use. How helpful? Time will show.

- Fixed an issue where the feedback bar showed the correct answer on retry in stage 8.
- Fixed an issue where retries stopped working at maximum progress if Lock Stage was enabled.
- Fixed an issue where Find a Pair with Lock Stage enabled only allowed matching one pair.
