   Good App but No Support. No way to reset drills so if you want to repeat - you can’t. Hope you learn fast. And no one is home in the support department.

   Super Helpful ٩( 'ω' )و. This app has helped me so much with mesmerizing hiragana and learning vocabulary!! :3

   it was fine…until they asked me to go “Pro.”. i think this app is okay. the first screen does help memorise what words look like in japanese. i clicked on a drill to to see what it’s about, and as soon as i finished it, they asked me to go “Pro.” this app is okay, it has its good parts, but it’s very limited to what you can do.

4. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Great app just one problem. I like this app and it has helped me learn how to read kana, I just personally don’t like how instead of giving you the letters you don’t know they give you ones that you already know which can be a little annoying when trying to memorize the ones you don’t know, but it’s still a great app

5. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Meh. It does not give u much to start with but still pretty good

6. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not free. Got a taste of the practice and the app was promising, but after one round, the “upgrade” button showed up - $19? Back to free apps.

7. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Drills Bugged. When selecting words only practice for the drills, the app still throws in mostly basic questions on what each Hiragana is and not actual words I want to practice.

8. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

   还挺好的. 学50音还挺好的。

9. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

   Nice. It’s good for learning languages

10. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Best app. Out of all the apps I used to learn hiragana and katakana , this has been the most effective. I wish it gave you Mnemonics and writing practice but this is overall amazing for memorization

11. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Love it. Love this app. I love how I can choose which characters I want to review and I can review as many times as I need to 🙏

12. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    I feel like I’m actually learning. The questions are great and have a good variety. My only complaint is that i wish there some questions to help me practice writing the kanji.

13. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Pretty good,. I rated this five stars because I find the voice a little annoying. Also I can’t write the letters. I know I have to get pro to do that but at first I thought there was none. I glad there is. I might be going pro, but it would be easier if the voice was not 55% annoying. But otherwise this is a great app if you are starting to learn Japanese.

14. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Almost perfect. If it gave the basic ability to drill just the sounds like reviewing ABC’s and not jumping into forming words I would have five stars

15. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Effective writing drills. This app offers quick effective drills for learning the Japanese characters. I can’t believe I made head way so fast. Let’s you revisit basics as well

16. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great App. Needs mnemonics.. This app is perfect (and convenient) for quizzing yourself on the primary scripts/letters of the Japanese writing system. However, I found I was able to learn the scripts MUCH faster when I discovered mnemonics for each script. I recommend MARU add mnemonics to the app.

17. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    日语. 中矩 还有进步空间

18. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Fire. Amazing especially if paired with renshuu and dedication is importabt

19. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    So helpful!. This app is super helpful when trying to remember them all. I do wish I could also practice writing tough…

20. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    还不错 可以再加强. 觉得好用

21. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Nice. Very fun and easy, I wish you could go back and review certain letters though

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Katakana specific “letter” absence. Wish it had more of the katakana alphabet in it like va or che and what not, other then that it’s a good app.

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Mm. J’apprends le japonais rapidement avec cette application je vous conseille de l’utiliser

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great app. Not good for beginners but great for practice

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    fun. so fun the ads are a bummer, i reccomend though

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great app. MARU is a great app to learn hiragana characters on :)

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    one problem, other than that it’s great. don’t know, but for me, some letters sound like others. for example, “di” sounds VERY similar to “ji” and i usually have to guess which one is which. other than that, it’s an amazing app

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    it is amazing. i actually learned a lot from that since im learning hiragana and katakana, but its really fun. plus, i love how it works and how you can choose how much symbols you can practice at a time. this one app actually taught me a lot so whenever i go to japan i know what each hiragana and katakana symbol is which and what sound it makes when u pronounce it. so thank you!!!!

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great. This app is awesome! I’ve been able to memorize over half of the harigana characters in just a few days. I love the fact it is a one time payment for unlimited access and even if you don’t pay, you just watch simple ads. The quizzes are great and I love how it incorporates everything you’ve learned up until where ever you are currently. And the home screen is cool how you can just click on everything and see what it means. I’m looking forward to learning using this app. I haven’t paid for the form version yet but I am definitely going to and I already know I won’t regret it! Big shoutout to whoever made this app for learning. Very well done!
