iKnow!

Прекрасная методика для запоминания! Супер! Но для человека, изучающего язык для себя просто так- безумно дорого. Изучил несколько слов и все- плати!

Looks good but: - no gmail openid support - no native app animations - tapping keyboard button is a horrible UX - all text output was gone in a middle of a session, can't continue it Just use a website for now.

Contents itself is very good. Sqa for the app is another terrific point. Furthermore it continuously improves!

This is a simple and effective way to learn new vocabulary... when it works. Unfortunately, the last few versions have introduced features that are of dubious value (e.g. answering using numbers), along with many bugs and annoyances. I used to be able to enter answers using romaji or hiragana, and had always wished I could use kanji too. Now, all answers must be entered using romaji. If I try to enter hiragana, very strange things happen (e.g. typing KA inputs あ, and when i hit 'delete' to correct, I end up with ああ). Also, for no apparent reason, the app will now just crash in the middle of a review. I also wish there were more example sentences to go with each vocabulary word - some have 2 sentences, but most only have 1. Some of the sentences are unique and interesting, while others are quite generic. I feel each word should have at least 5 interesting sentences so that the user can see the word in more contexts, quizzes are more difficult, and learning more active. Having said all this negative stuff, I have to say that this is one of the few apps I find myself using every day, and that's what makes it so effective. The choice of vocabulary is also generally quite good. I find myself running into these words repeatedly in the real world. I also like that there are different types of quizes.

I started using this app to learn japanese, but when i started the lesson, the lesson froze on the first word. No matter where i tapped, i could not move to the next word or leave the screen

I’ve been using this app daily for almost 7 years, and I’ve never before felt prompted to write a review, despite always loving the app. Thank you SO MUCH for dark mode!! You have made my user experience so much better. I really love this app, it has been such a great vocabulary builder for me for Japanese, and I’d definitely recommend it to others. If there was one thing that concerned me it would be pitch accents though. I’m trying to learn Japanese, and because I don’t know them myself, I can’t really tell if the pitch accents are correct, or there at all. I repeat the sentences to learn them, but if the pitch accents are not correct it means I’ve learned them all incorrectly.

I finished my first 1000 Japanese words! I had not been able to make vocabulary learning a routine until now. The difficulty of example sentences and the automatically played pronunciation are perfect for me. As a visual learner, I also found the pictures for each sentences fun and helpful. That said, I think the app would benefit from having a dark mode theme. It would be lovely to spend my sleepless nights learning some new words. :)

I don’t even memorize anything

I came back to this app wondering why didn’t continue to pay for this app. So I took a test trial again today and remembered. You have option of studying without being quizzed on Kanji. I needed those early wins to keep me paying for it. I have no interest in writing Kanji and assimilating deep into the culture. I just want to speak it. even some japanese don’t know how to read and write kanji. Make it an option so causal learners can enjoy your app too.

I love this app. I finally found a fun way of learning kanji while learning basic expressions!
