Helped me learn hiragana and katakana along with Duolingo - but this taught me to write much better than Duo did. I wish there were practice options in between "learn" and "test", though. People tend to learn best through spaced repetition, and in order to do that, I had to manually repeat lessons. Even just an option to repeat each unit as a full chunk instead of selecting each individual letter would make a big difference.

It's alright. I expected more for that price tag though, like different modes for testing, maybe having to write some words. It's all hiragana/katakana and then there's a small explanation for the extra sounds and that's it. There are enough free apps and websites that do the same or even better. It's also way too forgiving when you test yourself. You can draw sloppily or completely different kana than asked and it just accepts it without the option to redraw it, very easy to develop bad habits.

Very easy to use. Memorized all the hiragana and katakana characters using this app. Although some characters have a different way of being written here, versus some Japanese scripts I see everywhere. However, the differences aren't major. Some examples I've spotted so far are the "a" in katakana and "ki" in hiragana. But as I said, it's not a major deviation.
