Learn Japanese!!!

I absolutely love this app. I originally got this because I saw this was by the same developer as “Learn Japanese!!” and “Learn Japanese! - Kanji”. Both of those apps I bought and loved how easy it was to learn from so I decided to try this and I definitely wasn’t disappointed. It has such an easy way to teach you Japanese quickly. The only thing I wish this app had was a review button like the other two have. I know it does review it but I prefer the way the other two apps do it. Also I would like if they add more lessons to this app since the interface is so easy to use and learn from even if I had to pay a little bit extra for them.

It’s definitely helping me learn Japanese, though some of the bugs others mentioned remain... I noticed that the longer I am on it, the more likely it will act as if I’m tracing the kanji wrong and reset constantly, even when I’m only on the first stroke. Once in a while it will freeze and bug out entirely, usually ending in a crash of the app itself. A reboot (of the app) fixes it, though, so it’s not a huge problem, just a bit frustrating. I do like the way it provides reviews as you progress, but one thing I thought would be nice would be a review option of the grammar in particular, not just the kanji/words, but also the explanations and uses—the same info it provides when first introduced, just easily accessible.

Update: I had given this app 1 star due to my comments below. The App developer has mainly fixed the issues and I am back to loving the app again! Thanks for fixing the writing bug! I use this app all the time. Still a few bugs left like crashing, but that is pretty infrequent. I gave 4 stars. Really wanted to give 4.5. I used to absolutely love this application but have soured on it as I get deeper into the learning. Why did I sour? If you read the other critical reviews they mostly center on one thing. The poor interface for writing Kana. Specifically writing Kanji. I asked a Japanese friend to write the Kanji and she failed every time just like me. Not sure what the problem is but I did email the developer to please fix it. The rest of the application is pretty good though. I am learning a lot of Kana and vocabulary. I especially like the grammar hints. I would probably give this a 4-5 star rating but the writing glitch is very frustrating so I am only giving 3. I am editing my review several months after I originally wrote it. The writing aspect of the program is still EXTREMELY glitchy and frustrating. The developer has not bothered to update the app since I bought it to fix the writing. Also when you click on App Support it does not work. I am downgrading my stars to 1. Please fix the writing!!
