I really liked this app, I liked how it approached, actually helped me memorize sounds and I also loved the character, until I finished the first 7 character and it hit me with the only option to pay. I was very disappointed because it doesn't even have a choice for free with less content. I get that you need to make money, it just saddened me since it was so sudden and I really thought it'd be life changing using this. I'm learning Japanese fro fun, so I don't have the money to pay, sadly.

Helped me learn hiragana and katakana along with Duolingo - but this taught me to write much better than Duo did. I wish there were practice options in between "learn" and "test", though. People tend to learn best through spaced repetition, and in order to do that, I had to manually repeat lessons. Even just an option to repeat each unit as a full chunk instead of selecting each individual letter would make a big difference.

It's alright. I expected more for that price tag though, like different modes for testing, maybe having to write some words. It's all hiragana/katakana and then there's a small explanation for the extra sounds and that's it. There are enough free apps and websites that do the same or even better. It's also way too forgiving when you test yourself. You can draw sloppily or completely different kana than asked and it just accepts it without the option to redraw it, very easy to develop bad habits.
