Asian Language Flashcards on Apple Watch

Education

Apple Watch

TokeiTango is derived from the Japanese words 時計 tokei (watch/clock) and 単語 tango (word). It's a flashcard app for learning over 9,000 of the most common Japanese words - think of it as Anki for the Apple Watch. TokeiTango is built exclusively for the Apple Watch. Every screen and study session is designed for the small screen and a few spare seconds, so you can sneak in some Japanese while catching the train, waiting in line, or giving your raised arm a rest. Key features: - Spaced-repetition algorithm that repeats words you struggle with more often than ones you already know - Conjugations for verbs and adjectives - past, negative, て-form, and more, all spoken aloud - Grammar Patterns built from the words you're learning, like "a way of," "be able to," and "have to" - Example sentences for every word, written to use only vocabulary and grammar you've already learned - Audio pronunciation for every word and sentence - Choose how you learn - by JLPT level (easy to hard) or by word frequency (common to rare) - Bookmark words to look up later - Statistics and a 28-day activity view to track your progress - Watch face complications so you can learn a new word with a glance - Daily reminders to keep your streak going Romaji uses the Hepburn system, the clearest way to read Japanese with English letters. TokeiTango is built and maintained by san serif, an independent studio in Sydney. If it's helping you learn Japanese, we'd love a review on the App Store - and if you have feedback or ideas for future versions, follow us on Twitter (@tokeitango) and let us know.

Watch complications for the win!

Picking up my wrist and seeing random Japanese words right there on my main watch face is a neat pick me up. I’ve learned lots of interesting words I wouldn’t have otherwise thought to look up. Moreso, it’s kinda a party trick for me when I get to show my friends the Japanese words that just pop up on my watch whenever I raise my wrist. On top of that the flash cards, example sentences, bookmarking, bot—audio and srs make this app super cool fun times. I really like it.

Great App for On-The-Go Study

The app was very well made for the Apple Watch. Uses a standard and effective method for learning vocabulary.If I would add anything to this app, it would be 2 things: 1) Allow to see the example sentences and pronunciation audios from the Bookmarks saved, 2) Add the same type of complication to other watch faces that support the space required in the middle section.Other than that, phenomenal app!

Developer Response
Thanks for your review and feedback!As of version 2.80 both these feature requests have been implemented. Hope you are enjoying the update.

Watch Complication Upgraded 🙏

Not Important?
Great app idea and amazing developer! Originally, the Ultra watch face complication showed all Japanese words (N5-N1), despite the in-app flash cards set for only N5 beginner words.Incredibly the developer responded to my feedback, stated they would add this feature, and actually updated the app! Now the Ultra face complication works beautifully and I’m learning new words daily.Please support such dedicated programmers and pick up this beautiful app 🤌

Developer Response
In the version 4.30 update there is a new setting for what the complication will display. Thank you for updating your review. 🙏🏼
