Missing 1⭐ because the app performs like cold molasses. But the interactive lessons are effective. Speech recognition is pretty good. I'm a near-beginner with a learn-as-you-go, make mistakes to learn approach. Ex: early on it suddenly asked me to translate an English word straight into hiragana & I was momentarily like, "Wait, it didn't warn me I needed to add Japanese to my keyboard!" That's a feature, IMO. Being challenged outside of my comfort zone works for my learning style. A useful tool!

Definitely not bad, you can learn Japanese in a really fun way! However, it's missing a star because the app runs a little slow at times, and about 90% of the learning is locked behind a subscription. I would love to see a one-time-purchase price, and/or a way to watch ads in order to unlock further training.

This is the most fun I've ever had learning Japanese. It feels like a visual novel game with funny scenarios and characters, I love this so much. I could totally do this every day. It feels like playing a fun game instead of a learning app. Very anime style, very gamified, very much like a visual novel with fun references, too. I might go premium just to support the hard work, art style, and creativity.
