Author here. Even though I wasn’t thrilled from a user perspective about Apple adding a second ad slot to App Store search, I was generally optimistic it would help my indie app bu…

I'm going to add some ability to display things in romaji in the future, so users can start on some of the actual sentences before completing hiragana/katakana. Agree that getting …

Planning on at least adding "this is approximately JLPT N4" kind of tags on the levels in the future.

Awesome! Let me know if you have any feedback after playing around with it.

Thanks for that feedback. The drawing system was originally developed for writing kanji, used in my other app Nihongo. Kanji doesn't have the same kind of long strokes that change …

You should check out my other app, Nihongo ( https://nihongo-app.com ), it has functionality like this, and is one of the reasons I developed it in the first place. I take DRM free…

Thanks, this is really useful. I've got some of those in my app, but this gives me a good set of features to aim for as well.

This is really really interesting. I wonder if the data from FrameNet would be enough to reliably generate this kind of information in a Japanese dictionary, and if the license sup…

You can check out my other app Nihongo for this too ( https://nihongo-app.com ). :)

Individual courses are $120, unlocking all seven is $300 (USD).

Whoops! Japanese-learning app then.

Kanji lessons coming soon. :)

This is great feedback, thanks. I’ll definitely be putting pricing information on the website.

Been thinking about adding EPWING dictionary support to Nihongo for a long time, maybe it’s time to make that happen. It seems to be the only way to get good J-J definitions in par…

I'm also a fan of learning kanji only in the context of words, and not on their own in a vacuum. I made the kanji decks in my other app Nihongo ( https://nihongo-app.com ) based on…

Also if you're into videogames there's an amazing resource here if you haven't seen it before: https://sites.google.com/view/jo-mako/home?pli=1 Among many other things, it has a hu…

For me, a big breakthrough around that level was using books (or videogames) that I've already read in English so I know the story and don't get lost when there are chunks I don't …

If you haven't checked it out, my other app Nihongo ( https://nihongo-app.com ) is good for native content reading and making flashcards automatically from words you don't know. :)…

Would love to hear more about what makes Pleco stand out for you. I make a dictionary app as well ( https://nihongo-app.com ) and am always trying to improve it.

Glad to hear you've had such a good experience! And you've actually given me some good ideas about how I can improve my marketing too!

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you like it!

Reading is one of the things I developed my other app, Nihongo, to help with. I take DRM free ebooks and copy them into the app one chapter at a time. It automatically creates flas…

Under the hood, it's actually using Google's Cloud OCR API. Not sure how well it handles 草書 or 隷書, but it does a pretty remarkable job with 行書. Also does surprisingly well with sup…

Yotsuba-to is a great one to start with, it's actually one of the ones that there are vocab decks for in the app. :)
