This app is on the right way, but the possibility to toggle between N5 and N4 difficulty would be much appreciated. I like the possibility to read up the lesson's grammar and do some exercises. There are not enough exercises though. The vocabular list for each section is helpful. Adding the bonus vocabulary would be great. The Kanji part is a test assuming you know them already. The audio lessons ("easy") are not for N5 beginner level. etc.

Great app for reviewing if you already know japanese a bit or went to school. It's not for beginners tho. I hope they keep updating specially the tiny errors and I hope it stays mostly free without content hidden behind a paywall. I'll be working in Japan next year and I'm gonna need a lot of words for vocabulary and this app helps me with it . I hope this app stays free and great

It's fine, it has the words from the book in the vocabulary, but when reviewing the vocabulary it doesn't shuffle the answer cards in the slightest, it gives you your answer plus the same 3 wrong answers almost every single round, it does make it very frustrating. The rest of the app isn't really relevant to learning from the start of the book.
