The accent sounds like a korean...

No English except on the sound settings screen. Two menu options but no way to tell what they do. Hitting back button pops up ads and doesn't go back. Words are written in kanji with no furigana, and audio is unclear and hard to understand. Good concept, poor execution.

The speaker is not Japanese native speaker so the accent sound very very bad for me, and add furigana for those who cannot read kanji..

I like the conceptof the app but for children who are english first speakers first and trying to learn another language it may help to have the romanji available to enhance learning opprotunities.

I love that this app is pure kana/kanji characters. Too many people get spoiled in learning Japanese with romaji that they sacrifice reading skills. Keep up the good work!
