Beginner Japanese learners (JLPT N5) can start with basic greetings, and gradually move to more complex sentences, with lots of repetition to help you retain what you learn throughout the course. Start off with furigana and hide it when you’re ready.
Intermediate Japanese learners (JLPT N4 and N3) can begin reading more elaborate stories while learning to use Japanese grammar in context. Hide furigana or use difficult words only to gain confidence with reading kanji.
Advanced Japanese learners (JLPT N2 and N1) will enjoy our classic Japanese story adaptations and our original stories. Our app also covers topics like everyday life in Japan, funny stories, business Japanese, latest trends in Japan, and Japanese history.

User reviews
Very nice, clean, understandable, UI friendly app! ありがとうございます🎐
The amount of content that the free version of this app has access to is insane. There's tons of reading levels, with options to get translations for each sentence and mark words you don't know. The marked words will then automatically be put into flash cards to study. It's really amazing!
this is a wonderful app. thank you for making this.
This app is incredible. You have to study conversation, vocabulary, kanji, and with all that, all you want afterwards is to not bang your head against a wall in a reading app. I know other reading apps that are very good(poro kanji study, JA Audiobook), but this one isn't 'work' and the price isn't stressful.
Best way to read in japanese
I really love the app so far. I like to learn languages by reading as much as possible. Japanese is a hard language to read. This app does an excellent job at having content that gets progressively harder as you learn. The stories are interesting and keep you interested.
