Description

I started developing this app in 2010, to get me through JLPT, and it has been updated ever since. If I needed a feature, I added it. If it bugged, I unbugged. Most of my Japanese was probably learnt (on rush-hour, Tokyo trains) using this very app. Made by a learner for learners. Thanks for your support!

I'm Justin. I moved to Japan in 2002 and I'm married to my Japanese wife (lovingly called "Spellchecker"). I've taken the JLPT tests up to N1 (yes, I was there) using this app. I speak, read and write Japanese fluently and I'm an overactive developer (nearly 40 years) who just can't turn his computer off and lead a normal life.

StickyStudy Japanese Reviews

Love love love it

Akanapocalypse on

United States

I have tried many apps for JLPT study and this is hands down the best app. The only thing I would add is vocal recordings for every single vocab word but otherwise it’s perfect for studying as WELL as goal setting. You can set a date that you want a certain deck memorized by and it will give you a certain amount of items to review for each day so if you keep up with it, then you will reach your goal by the date you set. Love it :)

Best Kanji App Ever! However…

CPRox123 on

United States

This is truly a great app. However, I would LOVE IT if you fixed the kanji 叱. The correct Joyo form is 𠮟. Please fix the infobox, and stroke order according to Jisho.org. Also, I would LOVE IT if you added a note deck for the grade 10, Kanken level 2 kanji. I would adore it if you add these features, please! Go, Justin! You rock! I know you can do it!

Really, really, really love this.

@tiaelster on

United States

This is a prime example of why people who are learning languages should also be the ones who develop apps and programs to learn said languages! Highly recommend for anyone studying Japanese. I particularly like how now next time I need to look up a word, I can also have a mini study session and practice it. I’m also looking forward to trying out the newsfeed feature so I can practice reading more!

Bad app to choose if you want to sync

Talkinaway on

United States

Can’t get the app to sync between my iPad and iPhone, and lost over a week of progress. Can’t seem to delete the files to start from the beginning. The app is not useful to me; I think I’ll try Anki.

Good but some mistakes

Mickey1223434 on

United States

I’ve had the app for half an hour and I’ve found a few mistakes already. Eg the reading for 缶 and 空間. Is there some way to report these?

Love this app!

Squattinglizard on

United States

I’ve been studying Japanese for over 30 years. When I first started, we had to create our own flip cards and run through them - very analog approach. This app is intuitive, shows you the brushstrokes, common uses of the word, everything, in an engaging package. Highly recommend.

Best Kanji app

Koki. Y on

United States

This has all the kanji you can think of and easy to study with! But this is targeted for intermediate level Japanese learners since you need to know hiragana and katakana at least to know the translation readings.

For stroke order practice, this is the best app I've found.

And I've tried a lot of apps. Great job, guys.

App is great, but iOS 12.1 seems to have crashed it

Sottaku on

United States

It will not work on iOS 12.1 or 12.01 on iPhone. IPad running iOS 12.01 seems ok. Please can you offer a fix? Thank you!

Tried several, this is the best

Give Life Back 2 Music on

United States

The fact that the developer keeps updating and improving this app really tips the scale in favor of this app. I see some negative reviews. In my experience the developer responds to direct inquiries about the app, so write him rather than leave a negative review.
