User reviews
Super Smart, Easy and CLEAN. I paid for the premium version within TEN seconds. You'd think that there would be PLENTY of "great" Katakana apps available in the Play Store..right? RIGHT? WRONG! I mean we're talking ABC's here...it shouldn't be difficult to make Flash ABC's...how bad? From ZERO settings (only ON/OFF), to crazy bad eye killing colors, to being overly complicated, (I just want to learn ABC's!!) to bad interface/controls. This is the ONLY App that got EVERYTHING right. The ONLY ONE.

DD, 2024-09-23One thing I think this app can include are the other combinations such ヴ (v), テイ, etc that aren't included. Lots of katakana apps don't include these (and all the other forms) so I think you can get ahead by including them. I've found it hard to learn them more since I can't find a good source to study them as well as this app; it would be helpful! I know the v sounds are said as like b sounds, but being able to practice reading them would be so much help. Thanks for this wonderful app!

Golden_Hephaestus, 2023-08-27I'm glad to see it's working again! For the past couple weeks I wasn't using it because it wouldn't let me hit the back button in the upper right hand corner so my progress never got saved. Now that it works again I will happily use it! In terms of design, I like both versions you made. The original colorful one and the black edition. Very cool!
