It's the best Japanese learning app I've used so far! The graphics are cute, and it shows you how to write kanji, listen to what words sound like, and create mnemonics to remember them. the only thing that I would suggest to improve is the explanations for some of the Japanese lessons in resources. Some of them kind of confused me, so maybe better word some of the short lessons to be more understandable. other than that, すごい！

One of the greatest apps for learning Japanese I've found. Not only is it mostly community ran, but the creators are supportive and reasonable. I haven't gotten any ads yet, and the pro version isn't needed at all to learn! There are forums to ask questions, a dictionary, and much more. I don't know if there are any other apps that can top this one. Having it scale on knowledge is super useful and awesome too. The mastery system is so nice to have.

Absolutely love this app!! so far it's incredible! one suggestion if it's not added already, please add the columns so it's not just mashed together! I seen a chart and it seems this is all mixed up. Other than that, the art is super cute too!! the app is amazing and free no ads at all!

love this app!!!!!! I'm using it to learn vocabulary. I turned notifications on just now, I'm unsure if there are reminder notifications, but it would be great if there were maybe a widget with kao-chan and maybe the daily challenges so that you can remember to learn? would be a cool feature, but it's not something THAT needed!!! :D small glitch where I can only see the definition of a word if I use my stylus. unsure what caused this issue.

I've been using Renshuu for over a year and it's one of my key apps that I use for learning Japanese. it's highly customizable so I have settings that are perfect for my learning goals. when I'm really busy or struggling with motivation, I can at least do some of my vocab or kanji study really easily and do at least something Japanese every day. highly recommend you give this a try!

This app has been genuinely すごい and has been a great help for memorizing the letters. My favorite part has been some of the games they have, most apps have games, but you can't really play them because they demand kanji knowledge, and I'm just not at that level yet, but this one gives you space for just hirigana and katakana, without necessary kanji, so 10/10.

I have spent a while on Duolingo, contemplating whether to spend money to improve my learning experience. Not only is this app far superior in knowledge, community, resources, and learning techniques. But it's basically completely free, and even so the pro version has a far better price scale and even a lifetime one time fee. I highly recommend it if you are a broke college student like me, who wants to learn Japanese.

One of the best free pieces of software available anywhere. The tools provided and customization available for them make progressing with learning Japanese fun, easier, and more convenient. The amount of effort put by the two owners into the art, user interface, and quality of life for users is stellar and has contributed to so many people including myself developing a love for learning language. Average rating of 4.9/5 is well deserved and I'd give 100 stars if I had the chance.

This is a must-have if you're learning Japanese. It has a mix of serious "get down to business" learning and GAMES. LOTS AND LOTS OF GAMIFIED CONTENT. In the span of 1 day, I've greatly improved my typing skills because I got addicted to Shiritori Cat (you play against the content library... speed is of the essence), or the actual multi-player Shiritori games. And there's a chill garden waiting for me at the end. Def saving for premium. :)

I have been using this app for a few months now. I have found this to be by far the best app for learning, and I really appreciate how customizable it is to what I want to focus on. It is so easy to look up a word or kanji in the dictionary without interrupting your quizzing. I cannot express how much I recommend this app to anyone learning Japanese. I do prefer WaniKani for focusing on kanji as it feels simpler, but renshuu does a good job quizzing and building on those blocks to reinforce it.
