Practice makes perfect, Benkyō provides 3 kind of quizzes

• FLEX SRS
An exclusive AI powered algorithm that brings the right quiz questions at the right time to optimize your memory performances and the retention of what you learn

• SMART QUIZ
A quick and easy way to focus on specific flashcards: those you struggle the most with, or that you should review a bit more

• CUSTOM QUIZ
Maximum flexibility for advanced users, choose entries to be quizzed on (by applying filters, and optionally refine selection manually), choose the kind of flashcards (reading, writing, speaking and understanding) for each entry family, and input mode

Plus:
- 3 different quiz inputs: multiple choice (4 propositions), keyboard (type the answer, better to recall the information from your memory), and drawing (draw the kanji or kana with your finger or pencil) with automatic recognition (feels like magic, and you can adjust it's sensitivity)
- If you get a question wrong or pass: you have the opportunity to pause the quiz and review the entry details so you memorize it for the next time. Here you go, learned something new!
- Optionally set quiz reminders at times of your choosing

can’t sync acc over devices

Zu geile app on

my stats and lists dont match over my devices. i would also love to translate whole scentences from english to japanese and not justs words. besides that the app is a massive success!

more vocab please

FullMoon95 on

I hope that much more vocab will be included. To learn the Quartet (2) Kanji I need certain combinations which aren‘t available. For example in the first (7.1) Chapter there are simple words such as 厚さ and 選択肢 which aren‘t in the dictionary. I haven‘t even looked further than that… Also you can only practice single kanji writing?? How is that efficient? Learning every single kanji by itself is not useful. There needs to be an option to be able to write out whole words that consist of more than one single kanji. I hope there will be a notes feature to make a note for kanji or vocab (they often don‘t show all important meanings etc.) Edit: I think it would be beneficial for most people being able to choose a different font, a natural font that looks similar to handwriting. It‘s better to remember them this way.

Incredible learning tool for Japanese!

LooseRabbit29 on

I really love using the app. The interface looks great and a extremely wide range of Kanji and Vocab is available, but what I like most is the Flex SRS AI. I have it as a widget on my Home Screen and I think it’s the best Spaced Repetition Flashcards tool I’ve ever used and I’d even go that far to say it’s better than Anki. If the developer sees my Review I really hope you develop a general Flashcards app based on the FlexSRS. Thank you!

Great app with room for improvement

Bazille70 on

I have been using the app for two years now, and I think it‘s probably the best basic 暗記 app for vocabulary and kanji alike. That said, I think there are some features that I would really (I mean seriously) want to see. Here‘s my list of feature requests 😄. Yep, it‘s a long post but I‘ve given a lot of thought into it, and I‘d be really happy to see this great app become greater still in the future! After all, I‘m (happily) paying for a subscription here 😉 What: Filter for cards according to FlexSRS streak (for targeted study) Why: In FlexSRS I always have to go through ~80 cards with a streak of 5-15 before I see the first 0-streak card. This is kind of annoying, especially on days where I don‘t have much time. Yes, there is ‚study lowest streak‘ quiz-type, but this one also includes cards that are not even in FlexSRS. In general, I would like to filter for cards that have a high/low streak when selecting cards, just like I can filter for the JLPT level or frequency. Suggested Implementation: add ‚streak‘ as another filter category in the selection menu. This would allow users to selectively study weak cards or remove strong cards from FlexSRS more easily. Of course, another quiz type such as ‚study by streak‘ as an addition to ‚lowest streak‘ could also be a nice option. What: study all-cards mode Why: currently, when selecting all available card types the cards presented will still be drawn randomly from the database. However, I would like to have a mode that would make sure to add all selected card types from the same word or kanji to the same quiz. To make an example, let‘s say we select from vocab both ‚english->japanese‘ and ‚japanese->english‘ and we say we want to study 20 cards from the entire JLPT 5-1 set. If for instance the「勉強->study」(jap.->eng.) card is included by the system, the reverse card (eng->jap) should also be included, to make sure we think about the term 勉強 twice in the same quiz round. And similarly for kanji as well, except there we have 4 possible card types. Suggested Implementation: either a new quiz type or an option for the existing custom quiz, whichever is easier to implement. What: related terms quiz Why: In many cases there are terms that are similar but different (just think of the many verbs that use 「生」, e.g.「生きる」, 「生かす」,「生じる」…). Currently, there is no way of studying such related terms together. Being able to study terms that use the same kanji would be a nice feature that would not even require a content-b

just bought it

Top App!

Ecounti7 on

Ich hoffe nur, für den Preis das die App auch anständig und langlebig aktualisiert wird. Vielen Dank für diese tolle App! Ich lerne gerade, weil ich in einem halben Jahr nach Japan reise 🫵🏻😎🇯🇵

Streak always shows „0“ in the flashcards

Grateful this App exists 🙏

caro.knaack on

This modern approach to learn Japanese (with a clear overview of all the alphabets, basic vocabulary and kanjis in different levels) with such a great design and not missing a thing is just perfect for me.
