Comments on HelloStory: Japanese Stories for Android

★★★★★ Bruno Messias · May 13, 2026

It's been amazing to read stories in this app. It's very handy and useful to learn japanese :)

★★★★★ Jana “Julie” Almasri · Jul 26, 2025

This app is literally the reason I feel amazing about supporting this company. Their language learning app YuSpeak is rosewood user-friendly and so intuitive it actually helped me learn so much in terms of grammar structure and vocabulary, and this app is actually 100% fully free with immense quality!! The moment I have proper free time and start learning Japanese at my uni, I'm getting the subscription for their other app again because they seriously deserve the love and support.

★★★★★ Xianne Jaimee Pagcaliwagan · Mar 22, 2026

Holy cow, this app was AMAZING. I totally recommend this for beginners since I use this, and wow, my reading skills became much better under 3 days. Though, I wish there was an option to only hear the audio instead of reading it, even without the Hiragana + Kanji, so I really know if I understand most words of that level and to know that I'm upgrading even more, so not only I can READ, but also hear, like hearing conversations lol.
