Japanese? The real problem is kanji.
You've tried flashcard apps. You've ground through vocabulary lists. But kanji just won't stick — because you've been memorizing shapes instead of understanding structure.
Every kanji is built from smaller components called radicals. Learn the radicals, and kanji stops being a wall of random strokes. It becomes a system — one you can actually read, remember, and use.
iroiro JLPT is a Japanese vocabulary app designed to make kanji click, not just cram.
How it works
We break each kanji into its radicals, then lock the meaning in place with a vivid mnemonic — a short, memorable image that connects the pieces to the whole. Instead of seeing 休 as an arbitrary symbol, you see a person (亻) leaning against a tree (木) to rest. That's not a trick. That's how the character was built.
Do this consistently, and something shifts: unfamiliar kanji starts to look readable. You recognize the parts, guess the meaning, and you're right more often than you'd expect.
What makes iroiro JLPT different
◦ Radical decomposition + mnemonics for every kanji — understand the structure, not just the stroke order
◦ Vocabulary and kanji learned together — double the efficiency in the same study time
◦ FSRS spaced repetition algorithm — review exactly when you need to, skip what you already know
◦ Hiragana & katakana through visual association — master the basics fast
◦ Example sentences + native audio — hear how words actually sound in context
◦ Kanji writing practice — go from recognition to production
◦ Step-by-step JLPT levels (N5 → N1) — a clear path from beginner to advanced
◦ Content reviewed by a former Japanese textbook author
◦ Cross-device sync — pick up where you left off on any device

Download iroiro JLPT and learn Japanese the way kanji was meant to be learned — piece by piece.
I want to upgrade to the paid version with N3 as advertised in the AppStore for 8,99€, however only the full package option for 44,99€ is shown in the app itself. I contacted the developers twice, but have gotten no answer.I already passed N4 and N5 tests, and it's unlikely I will ever get to learn N2 or N1. So why would I want to pay for the whole package if I just want the N3 upgrade for 8,99€ as advertised? Luring customers in with the promise of an affordable upgrade and then leaving the customer with the choice to pay the full package or abandon the app altogether smells like fraud to me. I will abandon the app instead of buying something I don't need.
