Features & Capabilities

169,000+ words offline, JLPT N5–N1 grammar & kanji, graded reading with furigana, and flashcards that resurface words before you forget. Your whole Japanese toolkit.

Tangoo is the all-in-one app to learn Japanese — a powerful dictionary, spaced-repetition flashcards, JLPT grammar, graded reading and 6,700 kanji, all in one place. It's built around a Japanese dictionary that actually teaches: look up any word, then remember it for good. Most of Tangoo works completely offline, with no ads, ever.

Whether you're learning your first hiragana or grinding toward N1, Tangoo replaces the five different apps you've been juggling.

FLASHCARDS THAT READ YOUR MEMORY • Spaced-repetition review (SM-2) resurfaces each word the moment you're about to forget it • Auto-built "Recent Mistakes" and "Critical Condition" decks drill exactly what you keep getting wrong • Build custom decks for any JLPT level, topic, or your own favorites • Quick Quiz for a fast five-minute session
