Write It! Japanese

It's a great app and very helpful but the order that you learn the hiragana is a little weird. It would be nice if you could learn five at a time so you could learn all the Ks or the Gs at once instead of mixing them with all together and making it confusing. Besides that, the app is great! It has good grafics and runs smoothly on my phone. I definitely recommend it.

Easy and simple! Really helps you learn the proper strokes for the characters and, paired with other language learning apps like duolingo and memrise, it really helps you nail the similar looking characters with different sounds like gi ぎ and ki き or sa さ and ki き (those three are my most difficult). While the audio quality is kinda very bad, I already knew the characters from duolingo and memrise. That's why I say to pair this app with those apps and others since the audio quality is eons better than this app has.

New update sucks! The custom test was really useful, but now I have to pay to use it!! I can't even use the old feature anymore to review characters randomly because it was replaced by the custom test. Next time you want to add a paid feature, don't give it out for free first!!!

The custom test was probably the most important and useful thing for this app. Since the upgrade, they have locked it and require customers to pay $5. It's a hefty and very sudden fee relative to the previous price of $0.

I like the app but every time I use it I keep getting pop up ads every 5 sec and I don't know if it's your app or some other app in my phone. If it is pleases fix that, thank you.

This would have been 5 stars if it weren't for the latest update. The custom test was probably my most used feature on the app, and now you have to pay for the full version to access it. I'm definitely not doing that, especially for a full $5. There are other apps I can download instead.

I'm already learning well from the free lessons without the custom test, and if I really want it, I'll pay the $5. People should stop whining and pay the people who developed the app the measly $5 for their hard work or enjoy the awesome free lessons that are available to them.

I have never saw such good looking app ever, ever I mean ever. its just that I find it quick and easy to learn, with all the practices and test well I never expected that much. INSANE APP MUST INSTALL

Would give 5 stars but new update took away features such as custom test and is now demanding $4.99 for us to get it back. Bad form.

It was great as I was using the custom test up til yesterday but now they have locked it for a price. That is very unfortunate and I anticipate many more users will be quite unhappy as well after using it for quite some time. They also keep on responding to the feedback with the same response without consideration of the individual customers. As someone who works on building customer experiences on a daily basis, this could have been handled differently. As an option, bring back the previous unlocked features such as the custom test and require payment for future content and features. Hopefully you will do the right thing.

Its perfect! The only thing is that sometimes I want to use it and there is people around me and I cant turn off the Volume :'0 even if my phone is in silent mode

Im so disappointed in this app because you have to pay for the custom test ..... And I know that customer is always right but I think that won't happen

Fantastic. I can recognize the characters when seeing the character itself but when I'm told to write it on it'd own it I take too long to think because I sometimes get confused between hiragana and katakana so this helps me practice a lot!

Custom test was the most beneficial part of this app and now they're requiring users to pay for what was previously a free feature in this app. This sucks. Add new features for users to pay to support development, but don't lock up existing features that everyone was already used to.

HOW COULD YOU?! $5 for the custom test?! I used that daily. I kept you on my homepage as my go-to app for *writing* Japanese. Was even gonna refer the Russian version to my friend. I deleted my 5-star rating. Rather have ads everywhere than pay that much. I see others agree, too.

This is a great app! However, there is no comprehensive test. Once you pass a level it does not include that character again.

The free features are now paid. Have to scroll down every time I complete a katakana section. Even if I make a mistake during the test I get full marks.

I had been using this app with some regularity, but suddenly some features are 'locked' and being charged $5.

Was good until custom test features were removed, and it started giving hints when I didn't want any, before I could just press a button if I needed a hint.

App has been great learning tool. Would give it more stars, but a recent update locked the review mode behind the paid version.

I heard the new update was bad. So I don't update it. I use the old one and it was fun! I have remember a lot!

Great app ! I love the practice/test system. My only big issue is how slow and laggy the app gets.

It was one of the best apps in the store, but the new updated removed the testing features and required us to pay 4.99 to get it back.

Very good method of teaching each character: you hear it, you see how it it written, then you write it without the guide. The tests are random writing of the characters from that lesson, with a verbal cue telling you which character to write. I like it very much!

This was a great app until the recent update where they took away the tests. Practically useless now

A great app for learning to write and works offline. The order of the characters is a little weird and I wish I could choose specific characters to test on. Overall a very good learning app.

It's been years since I've practiced my Japanese. This simple app is really helping me remember.

I like it it's a great learning tool but the resent up date sucks I would like to review all the words I learned without paying I understand when I have to pay money to unlock more letters/words to learn.

At first I thought it would be a fluke, just something to keep me occupied that night but when I went to school the next day I had actually learnt all of the ones I did the previous night. The best part is I'm dyslexic so this is one good app.

I really loved this app but I prefer the previous version it was more slik , with less errors and you didn't have to pay to take a test

This is a pretty good app and free, except for the custom tests ofcourse. If only the custom test had a feature to select which alphabets we want to take a test on or an option to select just hiragana or katakana for the test. If I want to take a test for all katakana characters I have studied, I can't do it currently. Give that option and u get 5 stars.

I think better if you add more rest and provide points to remember but so far all in all its awesome apps to study Japanese

It was cool. But, it now costs 6.49 to unlock the test feature. Not worth it. 0/10 would not use again.

Used to be great until the latest update. Removed the cumulative tests. Very disappointing.

I was using the custom tests every day until today; the new update took that away. Being a minor, I can't pay for the new update and it sucks!! Five dollars is a steep price for something I ised to get for free

I purchased the custom test thinking it would let me pick specific characters but it doesn't. It only let's me practice all the characters I've already practiced together. I hope this gets updated soon.

I was planning to go to Japan this month, I already know how to speak it but don't know how to write it. But this help me.

This is almost exactly what I needed, an app that tested both visual recall and ability to write kana from memory. Perhaps in the future the app could include reading and writing whole words? That would be fantastic. Thank you!

Custom test becoming paid killed some of my love for this app, it's still great though. Very nice looking and simple, but the custom test really brought another level that's missing now

Freaking update made some features only available at 5$. Huge disappointment considering it was free before.
