Features & Capabilities

Turn your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch into your favorite teacher of Japanese. The app provides essential words and phrases with native audio, a Speech Studio to perfect your pronunciation, and offline access so you can practice anywhere, even in airplane mode. Nemo is designed to be picked up and put down throughout the day—no fixed lessons, just real conversation foundations.

Nemo personalizes your learning, tracks progress, and lets you choose what to practice. It immerses you in Japanese sounds, offers review mode to boost memory, flashcard-style English descriptions, and quick quizzes to test mastery. It targets the most common words for everyday use—directions, travel, food, and shopping—and helps you build sentence-building blocks to speak confidently in real conversations. Everything runs on-device for privacy and offline use.

User Reviews

Users praise Nemo for practical, travel-focused phrases, adjustable pace, and an easy-to-use, engaging learning experience with helpful audio. Repeated drawbacks include download/purchase glitches blocking full content, occasional crashes, audio voice issues, and content gaps (missing Hiragana, basic vocabulary like numbers/body parts). Some note difficulties with language settings. Overall, strong value for travel Japanese, but reliability and content breadth could be improved.
Pros
  • Practical travel-focused phrases that are easy to learn and retain
  • Flexible learning pace with daily goals and progress tracking
  • User-friendly interface and engaging, enjoyable learning experience
  • Helpful audio features for listening and pronunciation with adjustable speed
  • Broad language library and long-term value across languages
Cons
  • Download/purchase issues preventing full content from being accessible after buying
  • App reliability problems such as crashes (e.g., dies after ~20 minutes)
  • Audio/voice quality concerns (low volume or changed default voice) in playback
  • Content gaps and limitations (missing Hiragana, numbers, body parts; desire for more vocabulary/variety)
  • Language setting usability issues (needing system-level changes to switch language)

This was my first app and after getting another app to learn Japanese, I found that my new app leaves the easy of everyday phrases and conversation out of the mix. Therefore, I am purchasing the full version something I should have done from the start! Highly recommend!

When I went to Türkiye I I used this app to learn a few words in Turkish, which were so much fun to trot out and made myself and Turkish people giggle. Now I’m going to Japan and I hope to accomplish the same thing. The most common and useful words for a traveler only wanting to know a few phrases are presented, and the user can select how many words to learn each day. There is such a wealth of ways to practice the words as well. I am very grateful to the creators of this app.
