Good story, good game. May want to revise the drawing exercises. Checking what the player actually wrote is what I advise. Also putting a faint picture of the syllabe in the background. Make it more faint over time of even removing. Causing the player slowing drawing it good and understandable. I hope the devs take in my advice. Thanks in advance. Love your game, it helps me with learning Japanese

I will say I like how the videos teach grammar rules that most apps don't teach, and the flashcards are a nice touch and the mini games are fun. Unfortunately this app seems to have no support team for if you have issues. I wish they would fix the bug preventing discord authentication. Or at very least if the support team would respond to issue tickets. My ticket was ignored for several weeks and eventually closed without ever receiving a response from anyone.

In my opinion, this is an amazing app, you can easily learn Japanese using this app! I was happy because I was making a great progress already but then when I am in the Hiragana 4, I can't open it anymore, online or offline. It's annoying. I don't know if it's a bug or whatsoever, but if it's a bug, come on please fix it. Ty.
