The simple, fun interface and great core features make this app a delight to use. The automatic spaced repetition of learned words is great, and I love being made to use / see them in context. That said there are some major bugs. If you accidentally navigate out of learning in Golden Time, it does not save your review progress and it automatically processes all remaining words as failures. Same goes if you restart the app or switch apps. Also sometimes it says you're incorrect, when you're not:

There's a lot of vocabulary and the reminders are helpful but there are a couple major flaws. 1st, the sentences they use to fill in the blank include kanji they haven't taught you yet so it becomes hard to figure out the answer from context. 2nd, and most importantly, the app does not appear to factor in the time of day at all, so loud reminders will go off at 3am. This desperately needs an update to keep it from going of in the middle of the night.

Very cute interface. The negatives are that I wish when you get an answer right/wrong they tell you the translation of the other options. Also, I don't think you get enough lessons to test if you like it, you only get 2 free lessons and then you have to sign up for a subscription, that's not enough to see if you like the app. Also don't like how it won't voice over the sample sentences when you get something right/wrong. The narrator's voice is authentic and not the typical western voice.

Would be nice to have a free version with ads. Also would be nice not to have to create an account just to use it. Could be 5 stars. But since I can not try it further, I can not rate it any higher. Edit: I appreciate the incentive of a discount (10%?). However I meant this for everyone as well. Ads would allow anyone to learn from it while you are constantly receiving profits from it. Provided you do not go over board with ads, everyone should win. And obviously people will still pay for no ad

I am sadly stopping using this app. I still have 2 year left of subscription but it have been frustrating to see that there is no maitenance to it. There are many errors in the app that I been reporting even providing screen shot but they are not taken care off. Also you can not prectice unless u are connected to internet and some times you can't even practice because the "prime time" clock just appear without any logic. The app it really expensive compare to others so I think they should fix it

I'm not really a big fan of this kind of flash card Style. Its limited and a cash cow... Yes I know the basics of Hirigana and Katakana alphabet but that is just the issue. You get a question wrong and it doesn't make you repeat it, it continues to go throughout the entire flashcard list without revisiting it again to progress, you're not going to retain information if you just move on to an easier question. If i didn't know certain words before coming to this app, this wouldn't help me...
