User reviews

Migaku is praised for its powerful language learning tools, intuitive design, and effective immersion-based approach, enhanced by responsive developers. However, users report frequent bugs, missing key features present in the legacy version, audio and screenshot problems, and difficulties with login and pricing. Despite these issues, many find it a valuable, evolving tool for serious language study, especially for using multimedia sources to build vocabulary and comprehension.

Pros

Intuitive and well-designed user interface with helpful tutorial resources.
Integration of dictionary lookups and flashcard creation with reinforcement learning features.
Responsive developer support and regular updates improving the tool.
Facilitates active immersion learning through popular media platforms like Netflix and YouTube.

Cons

Multiple bugs causing crashes, freezing, and inconsistent functionality across platforms such as YouTube and Animelon.
Missing or reduced features compared to the legacy version, including video playback and word count updates.
Audio and screenshot issues during flashcard creation, with some users experiencing entire video audio recording unintentionally.
High subscription price without regional pricing options, making it less affordable for users in weaker economies.
Login difficulties within the extension despite successful web account login, limiting accessibility.

Very buggy on my side

Sophie A, 2025-04-03

I had been used to just using rikai-kun for who knows how long, but it has a really annoying UX. I tried out migaku as my preferred method of studying is to look at japanese websites and somewhat laboriously go through each kanji and translate it and learn more. Migaku is well suited for my style of learning, essentially it increases the speed at which I can digest and learn new kanji.
