This is seriously the best app to learn all of the Kana. This app made me learn it faster than writing it down to try to learn it by repetition. You can choose which Kana you want to be drilled on. Either just hiragana, just katakana, or half hiragana/ half katakana. Or whatever you want! It's really great.

I've used Rosetta Stone and taken a real Japanese class, but THIS is what I used to learn the characters. This app may be simple, but that's exactly why it works so well.

Best app out there for quickly learning to recognize hiragana and katakana. Great for practicing when you have a few spare minutes. Please release an iPad version too!

I work for a Japanese bank and have been learning Japanese. I have tried all the books, a couple of software packages, and several iPhone apps. This was the app that actually helped me to learn both Hiragana and Katakana, in less than two weeks no less.

The best innovation here is the different writing styles. When you are first learning, you can use a clean, easily recognizable style. Once you feel more confident, you can add more difficult styles, forcing you to recognize even chicken scratch writing. I feel confident now that I can read even a coworker's hand written notes.

Looking forward to Real Kanji!!

I love this app. It's great for drilling sound-symbol relationships, but there are a few simple improvements I'd like to see .

1. It would be useful to be able to select (or deselect) individual characters rather than just series. Sometimes I want to target a half-dozen symbols (in different series) with which I'm experiencing difficulty, and that's impossible to do. It could be done without complicating the UI (the simplicity of which I love) by something like having a series become grayed out when it's selected, and then touching individual symbols to deselect them, or the other way around.

2. In order to be able to work with new symbols (or series) more intensively while still being exposed to ones I've already learned, I wish that there were a way to designate the frequency with which particular characters appear. Even something as simple as being able to select high, medium, or low frequency would be helpful in terms of user customization. Could be done without complicating the UI by combining the idea about graying out selected series with using a light, medium, and dark shade of gray.

By far, the best Japanese alphabet learning system out there. Simple! I learned Katakana in LESS than a week!!!!!!! No fancy shmancy stuff here, straight to the point.

Loved the website, so I bought the app. Perfect translation. Two requests: add a "# right" indicator (really important), and possibly a drawing practice of the kana. Had to get a second app for the latter, and the former I did manually.

Great app!

Minimalist app that focuses squarely on drilling the hiragana and katakana into your head. No bamboo backgrounds or cutesie manga characters to distract you from the task at hand. Gets the job done!

If you want efficient practice of Hiragana and Katakana in a simple, clean environment, then this app is for you. Its usabilty is remarkable and its interface is both practical and simple. This is great practice!
