The look and feel of native apps is generally much better than web apps. Personally, I don’t even consider buying a service if there isn’t a native app associated with it. With Wanikani I made an exception because there are many third party apps that satisfy this requirement.
Anyway if you feel so strongly about it it’s definitely worth dropping them a line. They’re usually very responsive and happy to discuss with customers.
Thanks for sharing. Is there a way to see all grammar points or do you need to complete a page?
BTW, BunPro has a beta app which is fully functional and works great but obviously not released (I am sure you can get it if you ask)
Trying it out because it looks interesting…
Here’s a tip for other new (Android) users: although you’re not required to create a profile in order to start lessons, you do have to have a profile in order to save your progress or mark lessons as completed.
Another tip is that if you click on the monkey emoji you can hide/show furigana
I meant this part here:
That’s how many categories you completed for a given JLPT level, but you can check any category of any level without having to complete any lesson, and you can access any lesson in any order.
I see now, I think their lists might be bit short then (counted ~55 for N3) but I haven’t compared all points fully. Thx!
Looks interesting. When I tried Bunpro I wasn’t a huge fan so if this is similar it’s probably not for me either, but still cool to have options.
Give it a try, it’s quite different from Bunpro. I prefer this, actually… but of course different people like different things. Give it a go and decide by yourself 
I am also a big fan of Bunpo, it’s a great way to knock off a grammar lesson anywhere. I can then add the grammar points I just did to my Bunpro queue.
I’m also in the ‘everything should have an app’ camp. I pretty much use my smartphone for everything now and could probably get away with a tablet and not a laptop if I didn’t have to use Illustrator and a few other things for some of my work.
The vast array of Japanese language learning apps and Japanese apps themselves mean I can knock of a bit of study anywhere and anytime I get a free moment.
I’m in the, ‘everything should have a website’ camp, since I don’t have a smartphone and love Japanese sites.
Well, I can’t get the app to work on my phone (on the screen with level selection, it freezes for a while then forcefully close)
So, I guess that’s it.
Ya unfortunately I’ll be moving to a phone that’s outside of the Android/iOS ecosystem so I can’t rely on a service that’s app based. But this seems like a solid app! You should see if tofugu will take a look and review and maybe get it promoted on the blog!
I don’t see any place to sign up for a subscription/membership either on their website or from within the app.
Also, i tried the first lesson and the test/quiz at the end just says “type ‘abc’”. So i typed that and got it correct. The next question was “type ‘I like apple’”. Typed that and got it correct. The audio that was played back was one of the Japanese sentences studied.
The lessons seem nice though.
i will definitely check this out, thanks so much
was a little worried about the fact that im doing wanikani and nothing else, it felt like i was only learning half of the language, but perhaps now having grammar to study as well will allow me to really actually be able to start reading owo
I tried this app, but it doesn’t work on compact phones. The words get cut off which makes it impossible. This isn’t the first app I’ve had this issue with but it’s always really disappointing to realize a developer hasn’t taken all phones into consideration. My phone is only a year old so it’s not like it’s ancient tech.
I counted 132 grammar points in 日本語総まとめ, BunPro has 191 (and growing), not sure about Kanzen. So I certainly wouldn’t trust this as a primary resource for grammar. But there is definitely a fun factor in the way they mix it up so I will explore it more just as a supplement. For anyone that pays the full expense, I’d be curious on their experience.
I am very glad so many of you found this interesting and decided to give it a try.
I don’t experience many of the bugs you guys mentioned, I use it on iPhone. Do you guys have an Android phone by any chance? I think they released the Android version only very recently, so this would explain why there are still many bugs on that. On iPhone the one annoying bug I have is that sometimes when I am required to type something the keyboard doesn’t come up, and the only way to show it is to enable and then disable again furigana.
That being said, sadly I am not a developer of this app and I do not know them, so maybe you should try reporting them the bugs you found, as I doubt they read this forum (or ar even aware of its existence).
About the “number of points” I am not sure about how much grammar this actually covers, but I wouldn’t make a comparison based on that. A “grammar point” is a very arbitrary unit and different apps can group concepts in a different way. For example this app introduced the informal copula in the same “point” where it was talking about something else (maybe the polite negative copula, I am not sure).
Someone asked about the membership: I was asked if I wanted to become a premium member after a while, when I tried to use the “review” feature.
I tried a few lessons (on Android) and it seems simple but fun, will probably continue using it every once in a while Thanks for sharing!
