Hiragana Pro

I probably wouldn't use this app to learn Hiragana, but for practice? It's excellent. When you are practicing: stare at the kana, practice saying it out loud, then move your thumb and press the answer. Or, try and get as fast at picking the answer accurately as you can. Definitely make sure you practice speaking. It will help solidify your memory, how you pronounce it, and also how to read it in your head. Don't rely only picking from the four given answers, and it's a good review tool!

Katakana Pro and Hiragana Pro are brilliant apps. I was pretty rusty but these brought me well up to speed. I feel like they'd be great for absolute beginners as well with the visual and verbal aspects as well as the repetition. Well worth the $1 upgrade I might add. My only wish is that there was a drawing option in addition to the multiple choice and keyboard, but maybe some day 😁

I've used so many other apps that assume you already know hiragana and I've spent so much time trying to just remember all of it with Quizlet. Not fun. This app seems to analyze how you answer and it picks good spots to throw in the characters you consistently miss so that you can learn from your failures. I came in knowing maybe 20% of hiragana and within half an hour I memorized all of it. Really nice job at matching the progression of difficulty to my progression of learning. It never felt difficult or frustrating, I would just miss some of the characters when I'd first see them, and the next time they'd come around, I'd usually remember them. Seriously, really good job with analyzing how I learn.
