Advantages ◆Users can view the words and listen to the recordings as they like, enabling them to study at their own pace. ◆By repeating a process of memorization and self-checking, learners can firmly master important beginning-level vocabulary. ◆Words already memorized are progressively removed from the study set, so users can concentrate on just the words that challenge them, making for a more efficient approach to learning. *This app will not play audio if your device is in Silent mode (Vibrate mode). To hear the audio, please turn Silent mode off. Study methods and functions This app has three main modes: Study, Check, and List. ◇ "Study" allows users to view the words, their meanings, and the example sentences over and over, so they can take their time learning. ・Audio recordings of all words and example sentences are provided with natural pronunciations by native speakers of Japanese. ・Fun illustrations help users to better retain the words studied. ・Users can bookmark the words they like. The bookmarked words are compiled in the Bookmark list in "List." ◇ “Check” helps learners to track their mastery. ・Users check their understanding of the vocabulary studied and sort the words into those mastered and those not yet retained. ・The words already mastered are taken out of the study set, leaving behind just those that still need to be worked on. ◇ “List” displays a list of all words covered by the app so that users can see their progress and review the vocabulary. ・The list can be arranged in any of three orderings: lesson order, a-i-u-e-o order, and alphabetical order. The words bookmarked in the Study mode are also listed in the Bookmark list. ・Checkmarks are automatically placed next to words that have been mastered. ・The Study view of words can be displayed from the list entries, enabling quick review. ○This app is based on the vocabulary from the third edition of GENKI. ○Ads: The app does not display any ads that might interfere with learning.

  Crashes constantly!

  I have no idea if this is worth it or not. I paid for it but it crashes every time I open it. Very frustrating. And these are not the words you find in the textbook. So I'm disappointed. Bad purchase on my part. Don't do this to yourself!

  Sound Doesn’t Work

  I have reinstalled the app repeatedly and the sound does not work. It only worked the first time I used it.

  Great app

  Great app that works well with the Genki text books. I did notice that the map of Germany for ドイツ shows the borders from before World War II though!!

  Volume does not work

  I thought this was just me…

  Audio

  Audio only works when ringer is on on iPhone (16). It should play back like any other app with sound. Pretty basic functionality. It should be included with the $50+ book set for what it is.

• ★★★★★Red Grin Grumbles

  Poor experience

  Overall the app is far below what any modern language app should be. I gave it a chance because it aligns with the Genki textbook. Additionally, it seemed simple which I appreciate. Bugs are present every time you use the app. Sometimes no big deal, but often it prevents major functionality. The test portion isn’t really a test at all. It just asks if you know the word with no sort of verification but rather a trust system. An app with this scope should be so easy to make. No real excuse why this app would be this bad given how simple the functionality is.

  Sound

  Can’t hear it!

  A lot can be improved

  Make the app free with textbook purchase or at the very least 99 cents. Has sound problems. I understand you have to use headphones but sometimes I have to toggle the app to get it to work. Fix the sound problems and add phone speakers to sound please! Good things: I don’t have to make flashcards and it seems like a alright study tool. Just fix the problems above and it’s a good study app.
