User Reviews

Review consensus: Pastel Daily Kana Quiz is visually appealing and effective for beginners to drill Hiragana and Katakana, with a robust set of characters and solid customization. Users praise its fast-paced, game-like feel that helps memorize characters and move away from translating. The biggest drawbacks are the overly strict timer (lacking adjustable or no-timer options) and sometimes unclear audio cues, plus a desire for a study/review mode to practice mistakes. Some report paid features not delivering as expected. Overall, a strong learning tool with room for accessibility and feature improvements.

Pros

Fast-paced kana drill that helps you memorize characters quickly and stop translating in your head.
Beautiful pastel UI and clean, well-designed interface.
Comprehensive coverage of Hiragana and Katakana with a reference chart and full character set.
High customization: choose which characters to practice, switch between kana-to-sound and sound-to-kana, and adjust settings.
Beginner-friendly and effective learning tool; both free and paid versions offer value.

Cons

Overly strict timer with little to no ability to extend or disable it.
Audio cues can be indistinct or confusing, with some characters sounding too similar.
No built-in study or review mode to go over mistakes or slow down the drill.
Some users feel paid upgrades do not unlock promised features or are overpriced.

I’ve been using this app on and off for a few years and purchased the extension for more characters. It’s fast paced so you have to keep up with the characters! The only thing that I would recommend is that you can hide the romanji and only show the character so you’re not forced to second guess yourself. I also noticed that when I use headphones a lot of the characters SOUND the same. I thought I was crazy getting the characters wrong when I HEARD it but turns out that wasn’t my hearing problem. Hope y’all can fix this!
