I love this app so much, I even have a lifetime membership. But, the quizzes for the hiragana and katakana are complete BS. Not the lessons for each character, the quizzes at the end. Because I will draw a character one way in the lessons and it's FINE, but if I draw it the same way in the quiz, it's wrong, so I feel like you miss out a lot there, especially having to pay for it. I really wanted to learn how to write Japanese too, so beware.

I wish there was more guidance on when to do lessons from each of the learning, writing, and speaking sections, but once I found an order that is working for me, it's working well. The exception is the writing section. You will fail letters unless you hit the strokes in the order and method that it expects. And, especially with long strokes, it becomes very frustrating watching the game give you the "failure ding" because your "thumb handwriting" doesn't meet some arbitrary unstated criteria.

pretty fun so far (day 2) however some features don't work such as when I'm trying to trace the Japanese letter for "o" I swear I'm doing it correctly but the system doesn't register it. Also, the UI is cute but takes some getting used to- I am using Duolingo at the same time and it has been easier to start on there. However this app has a 1-time purchase for lifetime access, which seems more worth it.
