This could easily become one of the best vocabulary apps for Japanese thanks to the custom lists users can create! Big request: please allow to quiz for Japanese audio -> kanji/JPN writing and JPN audio -> English meaning. Also, please allow fast exclusion of word aspects (e.g. just meaning) when terms popup during learning & SRS. Would be also great if "Easy" and "Difficult" selection would actually give +2 and - 2 points for word status. Now if 1 aspect is known, users still need to repeat all

I haven't used it for long, and I might change this review when I have used it for longer but this app seems really good for helping learn Japanese
★★★★★Simon K· Dec 1, 2023
This app is amazing. It literally covers from MY two N1 all-inclusive with extensive word by word, sentence by sentence and voice/sound by sound examples. It has extensive reference on almost all popular Japanese learning books. It is worth every penny I paid for the app. Recommend for all levels of learning in Japanese.

Even the most basic features like n5 words, kanji is locked behind a monthly subscription. Don't even bother.
