User Reviews

Overall, users praise the app for Hiragana tracing and kid-friendly learning, with some appreciating privacy and value when paid. However, frequent concerns include an incomplete script set (no Katakana), boredom over time, and excessive ads in the free version. The paid model is divisive, with some finding the price fair while others feel it’s too high. A few users report level frustration and minor character drawing quirks. Despite drawbacks, many still view it as a useful tool for learning to write Japanese.

Recent reviews

its sort of fun, but update this game and add Katakana, the Japanese letters with circles and two small lines, support katakana and the letters with circles and strokes in word lists, more background colors, and a lot of Kanji, and then this is 5 stars.
