JLPT N5 for Android
Decent questions, but oh boy couldn't you have included some English in the menu and explanations? It'd be much easier to refer to a light-grey text to the side of the Japanese text (or touch to translate), but instead you assumed we'd know all the kanjis you throw our way? We're not that fluent yet and a helping hand would be nice : / The UI could use a little polish as well.
Please fix
Only one test, which is on jlpt website already. And it's all in Japanese, which makes it easier to do on jlpt website.
Yes, it's all in Japanese but that's how the real papers are. I did it for a day before the exam to familiarise to the format. There's a few questions with wrong answers though!
First question said ふじ山 and wanted the hiragana for 山. The correct answer is さん, but app wanted やま, which is not the correct reading when used as a suffix after the name of a mountain.
Good
If you are studying for the JLPT than this is very useful along with the n4,n3 et cetera. I found myself learning a slew of useful words simply as a result of their frequency. My one problem is that the questions get reptitive after a bit and you are never marked on the total amount of correct or incorrect answers.
As for the question "きのう、日本語の 辞書を 買いに 行きました、" the app chose the answer "nihongo no" which is absolutely incorrect. Do not download this app if you don't want to learn the wrong stuff. You better stick to the official test guide in the JLPT website instead.
I found the app changes the question when orientation changes or switching between apps, and popups can also interfere, and navigation back and forward seems a bit off also - all leading to a poor experience. I'm not sure about the answer quality - an answer made no sense, but might be a one-off.
It helps me in my study. I am really thankful to n5 apps.
Useful app, but author should spend time to review questions/answers carefully, or user will confuse and waste time on it.
Its ALL in Japanese. People who are at level n5 aren't fluent so it would be difficult to use this app. It really seems like it could help with the jlpt n5 but it seems like its targeted to people who are way passed that level because NOTHING is in English. Its like they just assumed n5 people already know a lot of Japanese.
Adds keep on popping how can we use this if the adds keep on popping the hell.
some question have wrong answer. and some audio not match with question. thank for your job. please fix it.
素晴らしい アプリケーションだ、ども。
Mi nivel de japones es basico pero me di cuenta que tiene errores
The app wont respond. Please help me out. No matter how much I click on the buttons, nothing happens!
The adverts are too intrusive. You dismiss one and another pops up right away. Then another! One advert at any one time should be enough.
nice one
Please fix
Some questions have incorrect answers. Ads are disruptive, appearing multiple times in quick succession, and questions change if you switch apps or if ads appear. Very frustrating and incondusive for learning.
What's wrong?? Why can't I downloaded it on my phone
good
Woouuuuuu...............................
This app is a solid study tool for all five JLPT levels, however, it treats all five levels as if the users are fluent in Japanese. I would give it five stars, but it needs hiragana and English for N5 and N4, then hiragana and kanji for N3, and then N2 and N1 can keep the kanji. As new learners, N5 and N4 will be only guesswork and not very helpful for learning without instruction. Even the tests use furigana on difficult kanji not used within that level. Perhaps provide a N-Primer app as an introduction?
I will be doing my first JLPT test, so this will be great practice for me, however since I'm just starting off, maybe for this app only, you could add a setting were you can change the questions to romaji. This way for u beginners we can see what language is in the test and start to learn it.
The app doesn't have English because it's a practice app for the JLPT test, which is 100% Japanese. Educate yourselves.
I don't know how to use this app.
this is a fabulous apps..... 勉強にとても 必要です。
uum very interesting app......like it...
Can you please give the instruction in English?

For people complaining that there is no English, it might come to a shock but that is how the real test is. So I recommend you screen shot the page, put the image into the Google translate app, and learn the questions! This is definitely N5 level, no doubt. Maybe for learning purposes, the developer can add a separate category for learning the questions, but I don't think it's necessary. My only complaint is that it seems like the questions go on forever, no end, or score. It's good practice though.
