The iOS version of Real Kana, the popular website for learning hiragana and katakana. • keyboard, slideshow and swipe modes • repeat problem characters • native pronunciation • basic scoring • nine typefaces • four backgrounds • horizontal and vertical text … and a simple, distraction-free interface. Made in Japan.
Is there audio for this app?
On the description, it stated native pronunciation and silly me for thinking there’s audio pronunciation instead of just romaji. Not sure how that’s gonna help with pronunciation when there’s no audio help. Or am I missing something? Waste of money.
Will be much more useful if it supported iPad and had an onboarding
Was very disappointed when I was recommended this app and had to consult YouTube for instructions. Onboarding should be in an app, or the app should be designed such that it’s self explanatory and no documentation needs to be consulted; especially one that is iOS-only. Then I found that the app doesn’t support iPad which is where I do much of my Japanese study. It runs, but only in portrait mode. One star for being iOS only, and one star for being useful on the iPhone after consulting documentation. I almost asked for a refund but decided communicating what would make this app worthy of more stars would be more helpful. Right now, this hasn’t replaced my flash cards yet.
An amazing tool for learning
I don’t go anywhere without this tool. It is a MUST have for learning or remembering the alphabet. This tool single-handedly taught me how to read (phonetically) Japanese. The developers are a gift to us. Thank you for making this. The interface is focused and beautiful. The settings are so customizable. It’s simple and powerful. Thank you.
Great app, pulled a quick one tho
This app is great and very much preferred to its online counterpart, however the backgrounds shown in the pictures of the app are not accurate, as there are only 4, this however, is mentioned in the description
Some incorrect combination hiragana
In usage, the dzyo, dzya, etc were incorrectly labeled as jo, ja, etc. I will return for refund towards correct resource
Love the app such a great and fast way to learn the alphabet
Here are some suggestions because I have a hard time changing the stuff there really isn’t a button for “settings” but other than that it’s super simple and it just works
