This app has been working great. The developer is very responsive and helpful and always improving the app. ChatGPT even suggested it to me when I inquired about it and seemed impressed at the functionality. Let’s see how diligent I can stay with this new tool on my Japanese learning journey.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the kind words, Osielito! It really made me happy to hear that. Wishing you a fun and consistent Japanese learning journey. If you ever have feedback or feature requests, just let me know anytime!
Clunky and confusing
Jay________________
The interface is clunky, which makes it a bit difficult to navigate. I think it’s useful if you already know some of the language. Good for organizing various terms which include videos you can listen to pronunciation and affect. It appears some of the video lessons which are linked to Instagram are missing. The flashcards: you’re shown a flashcard with the English, pronounce it, then check if you got it correctly after selecting. Navigating the app is a course in itself. The instructor is great on Instagram. The app feels like a waste of money in its early stages and should offer a short trial version.
Developer Response
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're sorry that navigating the app has been frustrating. We've updated the links between our lessons and Instagram videos to ensure they're properly maintained. We also appreciate your feedback on navigation and flashcards, and we'll continue working to make the learning experience smoother and more intuitive.
No Free Option
EdwardCun96
Unless it is a glitch, this app has no free option. You need in app purchases to be able to use it. The app should be PAID if there is no free option. This sort of marketing should be ILLEGAL
Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the confusion. Our app relies on AI to make custom flashcards, and the ongoing AI processing costs mean we can't currently offer a fully free version. We'll make this clearer on our App Store page to avoid misunderstandings.
