Reviews for Bunpo: Learn Japanese

Been working on learning Japanese for a while. But I was having some difficulty finding an app that was free and easy to use. I have been diagnosed with dyslexia, and because of my dyslexia even my native language can be difficult. Let alone learning another language by myself. This apps approach is friendly to […]

Bunpo used to be so good before, I used it all the time before I got busy with school. The lessons used to be all free but now there’s a paywall, I don’t mind that there is one but I just think with the amount of lessons for free use, its too limiting for free […]

Great help. I managed to learn Hiragana in less than a week, and even picked up a few basic words and phrases. Learning languages has never been easy for me, but this (and some help from my girlfriend) has been a huge boon. Only complaint is that they use a few words that aren’t quite […]

So far, nearly no complaints. Leagues better than Duolingo for Japanese. The one bug I’ve come across so far is not nearly enough of an issue to make me take off any ratings. Only issue so far is that sometimes the voice demos won’t load… that’s basically it. Will edit this review as I progress […]

Actually teaches you how to speak Japanese opposed to just words or phrases! It gives you a lesson with great explanations, easy to understand! Then it gives you examples and the best practice i’ve seen! Very interactive. It also throws in new vocab tht if your not familar with you can click on for definition. […]

I’m using this app to learn intermediate Japanese (N3 level). It has grammar lessons beyond what I learned in four years of college courses. The explanations are clear and concise, and the exercises are well-structured so that they seem easy but also help you get a good initial feel for each grammar point. I strongly […]

I like that this app teaches grammar, not just a unch of vocab words that you then hope you can string together. I do wish the developers would include a “dark mode” option. Also the hiragana above the kanji is hella small and it would be cool if we could adjust the size of all […]

I really love this app. It’s really easy to learn the main parts of japanese. I also love how it’s programmed to look. It has a cute design which makes it easier to learn and follow along. However, I think you still need to practice more on your own time to fully comprehend the lessons […]

Best I’ve ever tried, can learn the basics quite easily and easy to follow. Plus, the way they explain how to pronounce every character with English words as examples is extremely helpful. Not to mention the review test to help you remember the few things you may forget over time. Would much recommend this over […]

Retention? It’s one of the better apps out there for introducing information to you. I appreciate how they graft the alphabet to your memory and have you “reading” right from the beginning, and that makes the whole “learning Japanese” thing more conceivable, but they dont appear to have anything for long term practice or retention.

Great information. I like the way the word association is used so that you learn specific letters with a reference. The artwork is adorable also. My only complaint is about the user-friendliness of this app. The arrows on the bottom are awkwardly small and in the corners. I tried to swipe the cards instead but […]

I love this app, and I can tell that it’s going to be a great way to learn; however, the constant freezing is honestly getting irritating. I plan on going through all the lessons several times, but the fact that it takes forever to even complete a lesson because of having to start over from […]

The app is great… But I installed the app on my phone and on my tablet; if I login into one, logs off from the other. Any other language apps that I have let you stay logged in on your devices for convenience; Sometimes I study on my phone, sometimes on my tablet. If I […]

I enjoyed the introductory lessons so I went ahead and paid for a lifetime membership. I soon discovered that everything is still locked behind a paywall. I have yet to figure out what the membership actually gets me. I reached out for support in case something was broken on my app and I got a […]

definitely grateful that I had spent some time in Duolingo before starting this. however, it is the perfect addition to what I had started there. this app is challenging and stretching me, but because of the great grammar explanations and the short bites of information, it’s easy to learn and practice. recently contacted customer support […]

I had to refund because I can’t afford atm, but what little I’ve used so far seems amazing. So far, it seems to let you practice freehand at times during lessons and uses AI to point out any potential errors you made and gives advice on how it’s wrong and how to do it correctly. […]

The app forces you to either leave a review or skip repeatedly until you get to the pay wall, which happens a third of the way through the most very basic intro. I felt tricked into leaving a 5☆ review, so I came back to edit. When learning Korean, you can’t even get through the […]

So far I’ve really enjoyed the app and I think that it does work really well to learn from. However I think there are some quality of life improvements that it could benefit from, like having a list of vocab learned for example. My main reason for 3 stars though is that the app will […]

This app is amazing, but I’m currently trying to sync my account to my laptop for ease of use, and I can’t do it because I mistakenly put a “c” at the end of my email’s domain, and I also can’t remember my password. Trying to reset either is impossible, and customer support has done […]

While I really like this app, I cannot give it full stars because of a BAFFLING choice to not have a section-by-section way to review vocab. A list of vocab or flash cards would be great, but you will need to make those yourself, unfortunately. EDIT: This is an especially big deal for those not […]
