Real Kana App Reviews

Good to practice!!!

This app is very useful and a must have app for Japanese learning. If you want to acquire fast reading on Japanese you need do use an app like that. IMHO the only thing they could improve this app would be putting the sounds for each Kana. It would be perfect!

Wheres the keyboard?!

Easy to use, straight to the point.

Hello, Need to support iPhone 5. Screen is too small. Will change to 5 star once screen is adjusted. Thanks! Jed

Great app! I love the user friendly interface and the simple design! Would highly recommend!

Great interface and feature set. This app is a pleasure to learn with!

This app is fantastic! Its perfect for helping me learn and memorize kana during my commute. I love that I can select different sets of characters to work on, so I can target the ones I have trouble remembering.

Minimalist app thats really useful if you are just starting out with Japanese. Helped me to memorize hiragana. Three modes so you can also study quickly w/o having to type to advance.

Ive been using this app for years. Its great for drilling you on your hiragana and katakana when youre on the train, or during commercial breaks on TV. Easy to use, simple UI

It had been a while since I had used my Japanese and this application was a great and fun way to get me back up to speed.

Where are the directions? All I see are 3 hiragana letters that I can swipe around.

Tip: swipe at the top to see Settings button that contains Help with directions. Intuitive with beautiful, clean, crisp interface. Excellent aid to the study of the Japanese language. Look no further. Highly recommended.

I just started learning Japanese this year and it was my brother who showed me the PC version of Real Kana. I used it multiple times a week, using it maybe for 15 minutes a day. I knew every character faster than I ever thought I could, took maybe a week. I always hated flashcards so this was the perfect alternative. When I found this to be on the Iphone, I could not wait, I still have Katakana to learn :D. Pros: User Friendly Interface Simple yet effective Great Price Good for the on the go person Cons: None that I have found, will update if i do though

This app does exactly what it promises and does it VERY well. I have never once had it crash or freeze up. It includes exhaustive lists of Hiragana and Katakana and is a steal for how cheap it is. I have zero complaints, but rather a few kind suggestions for the developers of this application and the free website associated with it. They are as follows: 1. Allow selection of individual characters for study instead of just a row. This would allow users to cherry pick specific kana they are having trouble with so they can be drilled in a concentrated manner. 2. Add some options for color changes. I will sometimes use this before bed in a dark room and the white background is too much of a contrast. The same goes for the website. I suggest making an option for a black or dark grey background so its easier on the eyes. Thanks for making a portable version of this great website!!

This app is just like the website, thats exactly what I was looking for! I recommend this app to anyone wanting to learn Japanese

Bought this app and learned over half the hirigana within 1 week!

If youve ever used and enjoyed their website, this app will not disappoint. So far Im halfway done learning Hiragana and this app hels a lot, especially during my morning commute. Get it.

Helps me practice when Ive got five minutes of downtime. If you dont know a character, just click on it.

You pick which sets of kana you want included and as they flash you enter the romaji. Gets you actively involved. Great memory tool! Simple and to the point. Beats the multiple choice type and flip card programs. Best yet!
