There are other Japanese language learning apps/tech/tools out there. There are other flashcard apps. Most other apps try to cram in as many features as possible to make it a one-stop shop. When I searched "Katakana flashcards" I had one specific purpose in mind: finding a simple app to quiz me on memorizing these characters and nothing more. This app does what it says. It's very simple. Flashcards don't need to be complex. It serves its function well. Worth the $1 or $2.

I've been self studying Japanese for a while now and I've downloaded and used just about every Japanese learning app there is, but for learning kana this one was the best by far. It's easy to use, extensive with content and add free. If you are just starting to learn Japanese and you have zero knowledge about any of it, I've been there and it's daunting. My best tip is to first learn Hiragana and Katakana before diving into grammar and vocabulary, and this app is perfect for that first step in learning Japanese. Plus, once you've learned the kana this app also has 920 more vocabulary flash cards for you to practice your reading, and extend your knowledge, and they're all completely free which is very rare, you don't have to pay for a "deluxe version" or anything like that. So let me save you the time in looking for a better Japanese flash card app. This has by far been the best free Japanese app in all my days of searching.
