Ratings and reviews

My favourite app for learning kana. This, like other similar apps, will let you practice by answering multiple-choice questions; however, I find that the better way of learning is by using this app's "Stage 4" mode, where you are given a sign to type out in romaji. The free version has 4 "stages" (modes of learning) and the paid version adds 5 onto that. Premium is a small one-time payment, and while the paid version is worth the investment, the free app works well as is.

Exactly what I was looking for in a kana app. Bonus points for not having a subscription, at least not at the time of this review. It's simply a one time fee to unlock additional training methods but you can train just fine without them. Try it out!

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
