This app is awesome! I've used dozens of these kinds of apps trying to memorize this stuff, but they're usually just very dry flash cards. This is still basically just flash cards, but it's really well designed and organized. The little pictures make it way easier to remember and it gives you a reminder of the answer if you guess wrong, which is something that's strangely hard to find.

The app is really well done. It is functional and well designed. It is easy to use and it fulfills the purpose of helping and simplifying the process of remembering the hiragana alphabet with simple and fun mnemonics. The use of color as transition between letters is useful and pleasant. It gives also options to choose from for learning and quizzes, so it is not monotone. As a beginner in learning Japanese language I like the app and find it helpful. Thank you for your effort.

This app alone has allowed me to identify characters through mnemonics, but you must remember the images are based on the Japanese pronunciation of English, which is confusing at first but you get used to it. For example: Look is actually Ruuk phonetically in Japanese spoken English. L does not exist in Japanese. My only gripe is that it does not cover variants, combinations or being able to increase the quiz beyond 10 characters. It's also from the Japan Foundation so no annoying ads!
