Japanese Flashcards – Manabi

This app is the perfect partner to the Manabi Reader app. They work seamlessly together, allowing for quick flash card building without disrupting the reading experience. There’s also an ever growing database of pre-made & user-made decks for a quick & clean mobile SRS experience.

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.

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.

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!

I really like using this app to learn kanji I encounter while reading and the flash cards.

👍

I primarily do my studying on my iPad. Hope to see native support in a future release.

Focuses you on the cards you need to practice most.
