Good but could use some expansion

I used this while learning the basics of Japanese while I was in college. The rhythm in which the voices speak hiragana has always stuck with me. That’s said, this app could use some improvement Teaching sentence structure would be very useful for any user of any age.

The voices are driving me crazy.

The voices are annoying, I feel like I’m three and trying to learn Japanese without slowly going insane. It’s also way too fast, and I don’t know how to go back because everything’s written in Japanese, the language I’m trying to learn. It’s just hard to use, I don’t recommend using this if you don’t already know a lot of Japanese.

Why this game is truly useless.

This game is just straight to the point, and supposedly teaches you Japanese but ends up teaching you absolutely nothing! It has no instructions and just goes straight to the point without any feedback in the end. It gives you no advice and you barely understand what the words mean besides simple visual clues. Therefore you should either delete it immediately or don’t download it whatsoever.

Could have been good, but...

At first I liked the app. As someone trying to get into the language I wanted something to help me write out and sound the characters without having to get out the old fashioned pen and paper. Unfortunately this does not allow me to avoid that fate, and it's frustrating because this app is almost perfect. The problem is they expect you to drudge through writing out several characters before even attempting to having you draw one from memory. The problem with this means you won't; unless, you get out a sheet of paper and hand draw the same character several times and basically throw the app away at this point because it no logger s raves a purpose. To summarize, if they would pop quiz you I. Smaller chunks this app would have been useful, but they didn't. Don't waste your time. This will be more useful after you can recognize the letters by site and just need to hear them.

Difficult to navigate & irritating

Immersion. At this stage, that doesn't work for me and I find the app frustrating and difficult. I like app "Hiragana & Katakana "--very good but wanted something to help me practice writing. This app does this. But showing Romaji (as an on/off option) would help a lot.

Creative Concept and Musical

Two main elements are used in this app: tracing characters and memorizing sounds. Using the touch-screen interface you trace the Hiragana characters using your finger. While learning how to draw the characters you also get to memorize their sound by listening to the background music which consists of basic beats and singing of the character sound. There is also a simple 'snap' card game included as well. Highly original but limited by its simplicity, those who are new to Japanese will find this a fun way to learn the basics. Note: the entire app is in Japanese as it is aimed at young Japanese children.

The new update is great but...

I installed this new update thinking it was a dictation test as my App Store described it but it's not. The update added a stroke order memory test instead. Don't get me wrong the stroke order is memory test is great and just what I needed to keep my skills sharp but it's not what I thought it was. Just saying. A dictation test that records your voice to test your pronunciation sounds like a great idea! Hope it comes up in the future. I love this app. It's helped me a lot too. Also the review where I said there was a bug where the app crashes is only occasional. It maybe a good idea if someone checked it out though. Thanks

Good but needs update

It's helpful how it shows the stroke order of the characters and also how to incorporate them in other Japanese words. But it would be more helpful if it had the English definition and if it could pronounce it. There were a few hiragana characters when it did, but not all of them. Most of it was jus background music.

Sound and motion

I have just started to learn Japanese and this was one of the fist apps I downloaded. I really like this app for a few reasons: 1) it has constant audio of words - helping with pronunciation. 2) practicing writing the kana and learning stoke order - very helpful. 3) the mini games (match the cards and spell the word) are great for understanding how words are forms. They also offer three levels of difficulty. The only issue I have with this app is that sometimes the pronunciation is to quick and is not clear enough, making it difficult to understand. I would recommend this app for along with other Japanese learning apps found on the App Store.

This seems to be a series of games and exercises to write and interpret hiragana characters - there isn't any translation of the exercises into English so you just have to wade in and guess what is happening - I like the soundtrack !
