I poked around the vocab and did one round of verb and grammar exercises. Haven't found any glaring errors that a lot of other apps have so far, but a few comments:•App thumbnail--こんにちは is about as close as it gets to "hello", but I've never seen it written 今日は even in native texts...•Love the option to add kanji view!!!! Can this be added to the exercises, too? ^^,•This may be because it's the lite version, but ゆ is missing from the vocab list. you'll need that for "postoffice" (郵便局-ゆうびんきょく) and "dream" (夢-ゆめ)、among other words. I am really happy the developers organized the vocab properly, too (by the syllabary). •The wording of the exercises takes some getting used to (plain present negative, etc.), but I can't think of a better way to elicit the answer myself...for anything drag and drop, this may be my Zagg shield, but the touch response is off. I have to aim above the hiragana to drag it.•My Japanese level is pretty slanted--reading/speaking/writing are uneven because though I can read untranslated manga, some news articles and understand most of what people are saying, I don't get much speaking practice and my grammar needs a HUGE review. Kanji--I don't write that often, but I read a lot faster when they're present. They're something any serious Japanese student can't ignore or study without. I may end up getting the full version, especially if a typing/writing section is added (speaking, too? ^^, ).
