In my opinion it's a great app for learning for beginners, or just newbies in general. it's engaging, cute and most importantly effective. There are some complaints, such as the English translations being questionable at times, and the interface not always working correctly, but all and all, I am glad to have gotten the premium version. It's great :3

it's really good, but the "buy this" stuff it's a bit of an eyesore and it keeps crashing when I finish a unit, I have to close the app and enter once again so it allows me to keep going because otherwise it just keeps the next unit locked with the "you have to finish the previous unit" warning... if it weren't for this things the app would be practically perfect, it's so good to learn new words fast, some grammar rules and the writing order

Great app! It has so many useful features, and well thought out course structure. The way you learn the katakana and hiragana is also really fun and productive. There are fun games to play, clips to watch, and quizzes to take. I learned so much already! Definitely worth every penny, fantastic value for money. The only thing I miss is one comprehensive list of all the vocabulary you hear during the alphabet practise (where they use the letter in different words). But that's minor, A++ overall
