Japanese Grammar : Coban 4+

Great for review as well!

I studied Japanese while in college and only had classes for beginners to the lower intermediate level. Now that I’ve graduated and I’m busy with work, I don’t have as much time to study formally like I did before. This app has been great for me. I use it for about 20 minutes a day to review the basics. I’m familiar with everything on the app, but it never hurts to strengthen your foundations. If I had to make a complaint, is that there isn’t more content! I know this is material for N5 learners but I would LOVE to see more for levels N4-N1. I also use their official website (which is how I found out about this app to begin with). I seriously enjoy the content you have to offer and hope that you’ll be expanding it all soon in the future. I wish that I had found you all sooner! <3

Almost great with glaring problems

While this app does appear to be one of the best sources for learning the grammar of N5 specifically, and I plan on using it for that, I think it has tons of issues that hopefully can be hammered out with future updates. There are tons of performance issues/glitches when navigating the menus particularly when exiting a lesson. I think vocabulary could be made all around better for learning by not making it multiple choice, or at least having the option to do that. Also it seems reviewing vocabulary is likely a huge pain since you have to manually add words to create your own review list, and without doing that you don’t really have any options. For grammar stuff it’s hands down the best resource I’ve found, but again, the UI doesn’t work well. I hope these issues can be fixed at some point, especially the UI problems because that’s just really bad.

Amazing start looking forward to updates

Anyone around JlptN5 level and learning N4 kanji should get this app, basically absolute beginners. I wish I found this app earlier, so now I’m just waiting for it to update with N4 grammar breakdowns, and N3 hopefully. Other than that very pretty app, but I do have some suggestions. First of, it isn’t working completely fluidly and does get finicky with drag and drop, and occasionally freezes stutters—I am using iPhone 12 for reference. Anyway aside from that, I think for new learners, it’s good to have an immediate learn/review button. Learn the term, and practice immediately—although I don’t mind the way it’s laid out now. Anyway great app really looking forward to an N3 update, and to really use it 🙆‍♂️ great great start.

Hi Smealek-san,
Thank you for your feedback.
I'm planning to add some N4 grammar content, vocabulary, and some N3 kanji around next month or September at the latest.
I'm trying to fix bugs and make the app as user-friendly as possible.
If you have any requests or problems, please feel free to contact me. =)
