The main issues with this app that I have noticed after using it for 3 years are the following two things: 1. Spelling errors. English and Japanese spelling errors occur in JLPT vocabulary flashcards as well as the Essentials lesson flashcards. I would say that about 1 in 75 flashcards have an error. These have all existed for years and are still here which is very disappointing. For people who don’t know better, these dozens of errors may become ingrained into their knowledge and could take them a long time to weed out. 2. Discrepancies in definitions between flashcards/lack of consolidation. This issue is everywhere in the vocab flashcards. For example(and i could give 100+ examples), if you type the present tense conjugation of the japanese verb 出す(dasu), 出します(dashimasu), into the search bar, 4 individual flashcards will pop up for that verb, but all 4 have different definitions which are: 1. Send. 2. Take out/withdraw. 3. Hand in. 4. Run. If you get a japanese to english question for one of these flashcards, you wont know which of the 4 english definitions to type, so you get the question wrong unless you are lucky or you already know all 4 definitions. This needs to be simplified or streamlined or consolidated in some way, or else it makes learning a lot harder.
Other than these two significant issues that hold it back a lot, the app is great.

Great for learning kanji, only problem with the app is that you can’t mass add kanji to a list, you have to go and individually select
