Great for reviewing vocab!

If you like crosswords, this is a great app to use to consolidate your Japanese vocab! Fuss free and clean UI. However, the words tends to repeat a lot, making it a bit boring and I wish there was a feature to bookmark certain words for easier revision. I would recommend the app for people who are already learning Japanese — this app is for consolidation rather than learning. Even just the free version is nice and the full version is cheap too!

Thanks for the feedback! You are correct on both points: it is meant for review (our sister app, renshuu, is focused on acquisition).

The word repetition is intentional - due to the short length of most Japanese words (in terms of characters), as well as the small number of words in some categories, it is actually quite difficult to make crosswords with most words, so I opted for more repetition so that the words can get firmly rooted in your head.

That being said, if more crosswords are released in the future, I will definitely work to get a better balance :)

Should you have any issues in the future, just let me know at michael@renshuu.org!
