I’m using the app to review rather than to learn katakana for the first time and I’m really enjoying my experience with the app, I think it deserves a place much higher in the search list than where it is now!! The application explains what you’re learning in a much more thorough manner than a lot of others I’ve seen. I have only three negative thoughts — all related to the kotoba challenge. 1) the first kotoba challenge uses katakana that you haven’t yet learned in you’re just following the order the app gives you — like “ra” ラ so for beginners who are unfamiliar this could stump them, and there’s no way to give up and ask for the answer so you can improve ☹️2) I don’t see the number of questions/answers you need to complete on the kotoba challenge and it got really frustrating feeling like I’d cycled through the same words and it’d never end. 3) no fault of the app itself but the classes I take use “ti” for チ and a couple other spelling differences so I’m too concerned about messing up my spell habits to fully use the reading practice 😭

It’s a really great app and I loved it just like Hiragana Sensei. But this one still has a lot of mistakes (wrong translations in the kotoba challenges, and the middle challenges have kanas you haven’t learned yet). I hope they’ll be fixed soon. It would be great to have “kotoba study” feature just like Hiragana Sensei

It was a pretty good app up until the point where, during the reading sections where they want you to spell out the romaji, I was spelling it out perfectly to match the Katakana and yet was getting told my answer was wrong. I ended up looking some of these words up, and realized it was actually the app that was wrong. If those things were to be fixed, it could be very helpful, but unfortunately once you get to a certain point you just hit a wall due to the fact that the answers don’t match up with the drills properly.

I love this app for learning Katakana because it’s so simple and easy to use (and it’s absolutely free!) and it’s really cute app it makes all the Characters easy to memorize as well as the glides and diacritic modifiers an app like this isn’t easy to come by especially a completely free one so I highly recommend this app if your interested in learning Katakana! Big huge ありがとう to the Developers!
