I have been learning Japanese since 2022 and I downloaded this app and helped me memorize and learn new words each day which really gives my brain a workout. It’s also useful for learning to write and study JLPT levels. I’m currently in N4 almost N3 I think.

with all the study methods you have to pay for, this specifc study app is not only entirely free, but is one of the best tools I've been able to add to my studying tools. As someone who has jumped from study app to study app, this app has done wonders for my memorization of key components of japanese. NOTE: I'd still reccomend using other methods alongside this one, but don't underestimate this app, its heavily effective if used properly.

Love the capabilities offered here to learn kanji. Love the hyperlinks to drill down. Like the example sentences. Like the capability where you can switch on/off the furigana on the kanji. Also you can choose only kanji cards instead of the English/Kanji if you wish. I haven’t figured the import / export. Be great if we could import words learnt from Duolingo here as Duolingo doesn’t have a flashcard capability (wish they did). It’s hard to go through all the kanji and not be able to practice with Flashcards. Also would be nice if this was synced in iCloud so you could also use it on the Mac (the same lists).

No AI slop, Simple and effective. I think I paid $20 to get this years and years ago… And I still use it daily. Although it's not updated terribly regularly it's an amazing at that I wouldn't hesitate to pay for again.
