2017-05-23	Us*****	This app has a great set of features - it has voice clips, breaks down vocab into Kanji meanings, and the space repetition works well. I'm currently wrapping up the N3 vocab list ~200 words left. Adding some of the following features would easily give this 5 stars: - Fix the "Allow phone rotation" setting. Currently the app rotates regardless of the setting. - Allow you open the Kanji in the Kanji/Hanzi app by clicking on the Kanji for each vocab word. - Allow you to add notes to the front side of the notecard. Currently it's hard to distinguish between different meanings of an English word. For example, the English word "company" could be looking for kaisha, kousei, or nakama. Allowing us to add a secondary English meaning or word would help clue me into which word is desired.

2017-01-21	Ho*****	Learned 90 vocabulary words in 5 days! In those, some used kanji, and I've memorized those two. It's addicting to use this app. It uses list of words such as from the JLPT or the way Japanese schools learn words. I wish that there was a list that supported the Genki I and II textbooks. Would have made it even easier.

2016-07-31	Fe*****	I have tried many different methods before I came across this app, none of them worked for me. I don't like mind numbing repetition. This app makes it fun to learn. After you get a hand full of words memorized you start learning new ones but then it throws you one you've already memorized and I'm like wait I know this... Oh yea that's it! It defiantly commits words to long term memory. The only setting I changed was that I didn't want to see the pronunciation before I click get answer, all the other settings work well the way they are!👍👍

2016-05-09	Ne*****	I read a lot of reviews before purchasing the full version, and I noticed that most people have a very positive opinion about this app. I can't agree. They seem to have ripped off KanjiBox's quiz style but improved on the appearance. I like that they added an おばちゃん voice that speaks the words as a means of multimodal input, and I like the kanji breakdown by radical. On the other hand, no matter how much I tweak the settings, I can't seem to get to a point where I get true spaced repetition. Every time I start, the app gives me the same 4-5 あ words (炙る, 暴れる, あいまい, 相変わらず, etc) before moving on to a ton of words I've never seen and will never see again. I'd love to see an update that improves the SRS functionality, and I'll happily raise my star rating at that point! Lots of potential with this app.
