App is buggy and needs developer attention
I was an early user of this app, was very promising and useful at first. But recently the developer seems to be neglecting the bugs that are coming up. I’m unable to create new flash cards beyond the ones i’ve already created. I’ve flagged this to the developer via an inbuilt message system but am being ignored now. Hard to give this app a good rating when it’s only half working.
United StatesWorks great again!
OLD: Before the update, the app was running more or less okay, although it took a while for each new set of reviews to load. Now, it’s disconnecting and not saving any of my progress. I can only get one review in per day. I really liked this app and its connection to Manabi Reader; I hope it can be fixed soon! EDIT: the latest update fixed everything! It’s back to working very well again. Great flashcard app, especially with the reader integration.

United StatesExcellent! But...
This app is wonderful and easy to use. I like that I can edit definitions on the card so I can learn the meanings in a way that sticks for me. One thing I wish, though, is that one could see the English first and then flip to the kanji. I understand this is a kanji learning app, but after a few months use I see that I know what these kanji mean, but not how to pronounce them. I've turned off furigana to try and help this, but honestly I've just started making physical flash cards to supplement.
United StatesNo Support
The app had been great up until recently. My subscription just stopped working. Apple told me to contact the developer but I have gotten zero support thus far so I am paying for a service that I’m not even getting. I will probably have to request a refund directly from Apple but it’s a shame because the app was really great for learning Japanese vocabulary =( There is however another Japanese reader called Japanese.io and I confirmed with them that they will be adding in a built in flash card system. From the looks of it, it should be as good if not better than Manabi.

United StatesGreat Study App but....
Edit 7/16: apparently there seems to be a bug where large phrases in flashcards become shaky and hard to read, dropping a star in hopes the dev can fix this This is a fantastic app for reading and practicing Japanese along with Manabi reader but I feel as if some things feel missing. For one thing, it’s really weird when the app links you to the App Store download of Manabi reader when you’re told to read something in Japanese despite the fact that I already have it downloaded. That really is just a general fix but along with that, I use Anki alongside this app (just for General vocab, not for this I pick up in news articles) and the deck I use their provides audio for when reviewing cards. This may just be a personal preference but I would really appreciate a voice option during study to hear how the words sound and reinforce it. Otherwise, I feel that this app has a lot of potential. I have some notes for Manabi reader as well but I’ll have that over there. Keep up the good work!
