Ratings and Reviews
So good
So good for Japanese. I can’t believe its free it’s basically a text book in an app. I love it thank you.
Infested with ads everywhere, questionable meanings, useless exam feature
Ads at every turn, banner constantly at the bottom and videos after every lesson, even if you accidentally click on a lesson and back out after. It’s just too much!! Some of the meanings are questionable…. Not saying they are incorrect but it looks like they have just been auto added from a dictionary as opposed to presenting the most common meaning…. If your a beginner (and don’t know any better) this is going to harm more than it is help…. The exam / test feature is ridiculous and I mean ridiculous… it has a countdown during each question, it basically impossible to finish reading the question before the timer runs out, never mind inputting the answer, and then sometimes the timer will run out and you will inadvertently fill out the answer for the next question by accident…. Why there is a timer in the first place is beyond me… Every lesson has to be downloaded prior, even though they are small, maybe 6mb you can still be waiting anywhere from 30 secs to over 2 mins per lesson, super annoying, most other apps incl everything in the app to begin with.
App forces you to sign up to keep track of progress…. Im getting increasingly sick of apps doing this and pretending it’s the only way to “save progress” when the reality is they could save it locally but they want that precious email of yours…. When you consider all the ads crammed in this app do you think anyone should trust these app makers with your email???
I get the feeling this app was made by non native English speakers, and I highly doubt any Japanese speakers were involved in this app and if they were they have a bad grasp on english. All in all this seems like a bit of a cash grab style app and I can see why no one else has rated it. Avoid this one, particularly if your a beginner, instead try find an app which teaches you with mnemonics together with an SRS.
