I'm enjoying the app's "gamification" for learning Japanese as a total beginner starting from zero. For me this app works well when paired with many other study materials, including flash cards that helped me memorize hiragana by associating the symbols with imagery + physical texts (e.g. a book on particles, a textbook called genki etc.). Giving this three stars because there are some very distracting app issues that need attention for us loyal paying subscribers :). For example on my iPad some of the vocab flash cards within lessons do not display the picture properly after clicking on the card to turn it over. There are also sync issues across devices. The notebook feature, for example, is available on iPad but is not on either iPhone nor computer web browser (particularly annoying when I want to open the notebook on my computer browser or iPhone so that I can review grammar previously learned via iPad. Also, even in iPad the notebook shows blank entries that when you click on them pop open a message telling you to alert the devs. Which brings me to the last gripe I have...there is no way to contact support through the app (or at least, no user friendly/easy way to do so)
Hello, I am sorry for the bad experience with the syncing of notebook and flashcards. Please send me the details of the problem you met at my email: heyjapan@eupgroup.net or our fanpage: https://m.me/heyjapan.eup. I will check and contact you. Please update your rating after the problem is solved. Thank you.
