Lirer: Learn Japanese

I first tried this app about a year ago, and mentioned to the developer then about a couple of suggestions but still these minor niggles are present: During post-introduction review when typing the meaning of a word in English, the precise spelling is required e.g. 一言, if you type anything but “single word” (like ‘one word’, or ‘few words’, which are correct) it’s wrong. I question the need for this quiz, when Japanese is the main memorisation requirement and multi choice English is already there. The vibration during kana entry is incredibly distracting and annoying. Those 2 things should be a setting to disable. I also found settings area froze for me on occasions. Also during new word introduction, it should be possible to see the first card again, but it’s not possible unless you move to the next card and then back again. I feel this could be a great app, and would like to use it, but currently feels a bit rough and not a smooth experience for the intermediate or advanced student, so I’ll pass for now at least until the above is fixed.

While I think the concept is great and I am learning, the app is undercooked and needs a lot more work. All the imagery is only for the beginner section. There’s a lot of bugs and errors. Some of the English translations are a bit odd. A bit more work needs to go into the functionality. Overall the app has potential but needs work.

Super easy to use! It’s also very straightforward and cute💕

This is a great app but I’m surprised to see errors periodically. I’m wondering if users are not bringing them to the developer’s attention, or the developer is not as interested in quality control as perhaps they should be. Overall it’s a fantastic app for learning Japanese but the occasional mistakes do not inspire 100% confidence.

Helps a ton with the basics if you wanna get off the ground for learning basic Japanese writing.

It’s educational at best

I was early adopter of the Bunpo app and had high hopes for this app, it’s okay but there’s a lot to be fixed, the app crashes during review, I wish there was an option to reset progress as well because I feel like having the kana in my reviews at this point is just a waste of time. The app has huge potential with just a few fixes. I don’t know if they’ll ever fix them , it doesn’t seem like they update this app much anymore

I have been learning Japanese for about half a year and gotten almost nowhere, but this app makes it so much easier. I find the review cards and the helpful memorizing tips helpful and always always being able to go back and review the flash cards. The section for basics is actually beginner friendly with katakana,hirigana, and even some kanji at the very beginning. Something that is mostly avoided by apps like dualingo until several units in making it seem like a challenge instead of a tool. But even with apps to help you if you don’t actually learn the culture and look deeper into meanings than real life practice will be a crash course.

I love how the words are organized by categories. I also love the interactive memorization system. Simple and effective.
