Thanks to Sephiroth-Sama, I would’ve never learned about this app. As someone who has a 500+ day streak on Duolingo. I have to say that this app has been much more helpful in educational. Then my learning is on Duolingo. I love the fact that you get to have topics whenever you have conversations within the app. Which really helps me. Focus on what words I should be using within the conversation and even though I’ve only been on here for four days I feel like I’m starting to become Fluent with the ways I greet people and carry on communication. I really appreciate this app, Iago is seriously so great and really is fun to use. I have to remind myself to take breaks because with how fun it is I start overwhelming myself with how much I’m trying to do within the app. I love it!

I want to visit Japan one day and be able to speak the language well enough so that I can converse. As a person who is genuinely trying to learn the language, I would like to be able to read or hear what each symbol sounds like. In some areas like the grammar section and some in the terms section of a lesson, there is some vocabulary that doesn’t give phonetics. I can’t properly learn the language if I can’t figure out how to pronounce a term correctly. And maybe I could use google, but I’d need to figure out what the term is first; which leads me back to square one. Im not using the Hiragana and Kanji setting either, so yes there are some phonetics and other times not. There are also terms that I don’t remember seeing in the practice section that show up in the chat section, and it throws me off sometimes. This a great and fun way to learn Japanese and I enjoy almost every minute of it. Aside from the things mentioned above I think it’s a great idea, and all it needs are a few updates here and there.Edit: I went and learned some of the mechanics of the app, and while I can learn how to pronounce the terms and phrases when a new grammar piece shows up. This does make it a little bit easier to learn. I still sometimes see new grammar that pops up out of the blue though. Regardless, I like what the app is all about and I’m excited to see new features and more updates.

This idea for this app is very good, but there are a few bugs that need to be fixed. For example, the sounds sometimes the audio will get very quiet and I won’t be able to hear what the person is trying to say. Other times the music is so loud that I can’t hear what they’re trying to say. They’re also visual bugs such as the app won’t line up to the phone screen correctly so answers will be off screen. I had this happen and I clicked all top three options were they were all wrong and the correct answer was off screen so I couldn’t finish the lesson. This also happens towards the top of the screen as well when you’re trying to read the top will be cut off so you can’t read it. I also think that there should be an area to learn very basic Japanese the way that a jump in I understand is for story sake, but it’s a little too quick and if you don’t know any Japanese, you are definitely gonna be lost. I think adding a section for learning how to count and very basic Japanese like how to say hello would be helpful. Overall, I think it’s a good app and if it just fixes these few bugs, then it will be a great app.

The idea is great but it does advance a little to fast for someone that doesn’t know any Japanese. Also it tends to to be vary forgiving when you kind of mispronounce a word. They also need to have a better option for slowing down what they are saying in the conversation tip parts like they do in the practice part. Finally it would be great if they gave the option to just pick the Japanese word instead of asking to type the Japanese word in English (the way they pronounced it) as I noticed it will sometimes not get the right answer even when you type it in the wright way. Really my biggest issue is that as someone with dyslexia it would be a lot easier if they gave the option to try to learn a few words first before going into the full on sentence and or conversation parts. Still for a free app this is at least a good start and I can see it being helpful for some that might already know basic Japanese.Update the app is now bugging out to much that it’s almost unusable! The sound will cut out, the sample auto will some times not play, and the mic cuts you off way to much! Might have to drop this app soon if they don’t fix asap
