Review summary

Users broadly praise the Hiragana app as the best, most straightforward tool for learning Hiragana, with a clean interface and strong memorization support. They value the stroke-order guidance, penmanship corrections, and the minimal use of romaji, plus multiple retention tests that suit beginners and quick daily practice. However, recurring drawbacks include the Katakana companion app being unavailable or crashing, handwriting/drawing practice bugs, and occasional sound-mapping errors for certain kana. Some users also request more exercises or engaging visuals.

Pros

Widely praised as the best, straightforward and clean way to learn Hiragana.
Strong stroke-order guidance and penmanship correction that improves writing.
Effective for memorization with multiple retention tests and minimal romaji.
Beginner-friendly and easy to start, supporting quick daily practice.
Part of a complementary learning suite with a Katakana app for cross-learning.

Cons

Katakana app is unavailable or crashes (redownload issues).
Handwriting/drawing practice bugs can mark correct strokes as wrong or be non-functional.
Sound mappings are occasionally incorrect for some kana (e.g., ra/ri/ru/..., etc.).

2022-07-24	Ma*****	I've used this app and the one for katakana for years and gotten so much out of them. I always come back to refresh. Though sadly recently the katakana app just crashes on opening and I can't find in in the play market for redownload. I really wish they would fix it.

2020-11-13	Br*****	This is the only app that corrects my "penmanship" when it's wrong. Also, because of how reasonably high its expectations are, I actually get enough practice that it makes the retention easier.
