About Kanapeek: Japanese Lock Screen
Learn Japanese without opening an app. Kanapeek puts one Japanese character or word on your iPhone Lock Screen and changes it about every hour, so you learn a little every time you check the time. FREE, FOREVER: HIRAGANA AND KATAKANA All 92 kana (46 hiragana and 46 katakana), each with its romaji and an example word. No trial, no time limit, no sign-up. KANAPEEK PLUS: JLPT N5 TO N1 More than 8,000 words grouped by JLPT level, each with its written form, reading, romaji and English meaning. Pick a level and your Lock Screen shows words from it. HOW IT WORKS - Lock Screen widgets: a line above the clock, or a rectangle or circle below it. There is also a small Home Screen widget. - A new word about every hour. You can change it to every 3, 6 or 24 hours. - Tap the widget to open that word: reading, romaji, meaning and a Listen button. - Short reviews bring back the words you have seen, spaced out over days. Words you forget come back to your Lock Screen. - Mark a word as known and it leaves the rotation. - Turn romaji off when you no longer need it. GOOD TO KNOW - Pronunciation uses the Japanese voice built into iOS. Its pitch accent may differ from natural speech. - JLPT levels are community estimates. The JLPT organisers do not publish official word lists. - No account, no ads, no tracking. Your progress stays on your iPhone. SUBSCRIPTION Kanapeek Plus unlocks JLPT N5 to N1: $19.99 per year with a 7-day free trial, or $3.99 per month. Prices are in US dollars; the App Store shows the price for your country. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Kana stay free whether or not you subscribe.
