Best one we have tried! (VPP paid version is worth it)

We have tried many kana apps, and this one is hands down, the best. It’s fun for my kids (keeps their attention with pictures), has variety in the games, instructs in Japanese (which you can read in either English, Thai, or Japanese), and spells out words.I like that it repeats each kana in different ways after learning how to write them. It’s fantastic that it constantly says the pronunciation of each kana as you’re writing it.The only thing that I would update would be to say the entire word after it is spelled out, such as うさぎ instead of just saying each kana. It’s not clear to little ones what the word is since they write slowly.Please make more apps! I would LOVE a Japanese version of “Endless Words” (Endless ABC series) that includes longer sentences, sentence structure, and kanji for kids!

Good but Sound doesn’t work.

This app is simple, cute and easy to use. The concept is great and the lessons are simple for a child. I downloaded this because my children (5years old and 1 year old) are both half Japanese and we want them to learn Japanese. I am also learning Japanese and thought I could use this app to start off with. But I cannot get the sound to work on this app. It is obvious that there should be sound to this app and I have made sure that the volume on my phone is on high but the app is still silent. If there is a simple fix for this, please let me know! I would really like for my 5 year old to practice but if he can’t hear the sound the characters make then it’s pointless. Thank you!

My five year old loves this APP. I have tried many other ones to learn hiragana but this is the best as she asks to play everyday. You get twenty characters for free so you can try out all the features for free.My daughter played the free version for over a month. I just purchased the app to get all the characters.

My 2 and half year old loves everything about this app! Especially when she is trying to catch the runaway character and when she can dress up the character in the funny glasses or hat after successfully and adorably writing it out.
