Love this app, but the most recent update broke reviews. As soon as I click “Submit” to submit my answer the app freezes and locks up, and I need to close it. It happens 100% of the time! Please fix it and I’ll go back to 5 stars

So far so good! Going back to Japan for my third visit eventually, I’d like to be more proficient as a speaker and reader!

Je l’utilise dans le bus le matin, avec seulement quelques minutes devant moi. Les exercices sont courts, alors je peux revoir les kana sans sortir un cahier. J’aime bien répéter les caractères qui me posent problème pendant le trajet.
