| 2025-01-18 |  | | This is a really good app, lots of content and few, if any, errors. I wish the quiz timer was a little longer since I'm not very fast at tapping, but otherwise I am happy with the design. It might be nice to add an option for the duration of the quiz timer. |
| 2024-10-29 |  | | Edit: 10/28/24. Okay, had to come back later to add more... Fantastic app, enormous amount of content and highly customizable according to your needs/wants. But get this... I emailed the developer a question (content appeared not available even though I had paid for premium), and he responded in 11 MINUTES with a simple fix for my issue. Absolutely worth it, pay for premium 👍 |
| 2024-07-29 |  | | Bought lifetime membership. Then bought new phone. now membership unavailable. Caution. don't switch phones or you lose it. update due to developer response: I didn't change the email address. I just won't recognize me. Update: it took a bit to get my profile profress as it wouldn't allow my profile password to work even though I had it written down. Fortunately, the request via my email worked an now I can use the app. Restart was the last step in the app. Thank you! |
| 2024-07-05 |  | | I can tell, right off the bat, that this app is going to be my go-to for learning and practicing Japanese. I feel like I'm going to get lost in all of the ways I can learn with this app! From listening, speaking, reading and writing to practicing all of those things at once with flashcards or go to the grammar section or read up on cultural blunders one might make, unawares. There is so much to explore. This is the way language learning software should be made! |
| 2024-06-12 |  | | I use multiple different apps to help with my Japanese studies and when I don't understand something fully JA Sensei gets the job done! I love the quizzes it's perfect as a progress tracker it really gives me a sense of accomplishment. I just wish all features were available without having to purchase premium |
| 2024-05-13 |  | | Incredibly useful and has nearly everything. Can't find much reason to use anything else (This is by far better, and cheaper, than Duolingo). A suggestion, or two, I have is adding a quiz function, similar to verbs, to adjectives. Although its not the biggest thing it does help cement adjectives/verbs into memory if you are repeatedly conjugating them in a quiz. 2nd is for vocab I am quizzing to display only the kanji I have learned thus far. Makes it easier to learn in parts. |
| 2023-11-09 |  | | JA Sensei is one of the most detailed and helpful applications to help you learn Japanese. Mostly beginner friendly. If you struggle with any sort of learning disadvantages, the layout may not always be friendly as it can be both over and under stimulating. JA is especially helpful for anyone with strong self-motivation. There are numerous resources in one place, and if you do purchase the upgrade, it has a more than fair price for lifetime access. |
| 2023-05-10 |  | | I've been using this app for maybe 3 years. It's thorough and worth buying premium. I do wish there was more sentence making practice. I also would like to be able to mark my own answers wrong if they're accidentally marked correct. I often suggest this app to other people learning Japanese. One small thing is there have been some cultural changes that are not yet reflected here. I think a memes section would be helpful to explain it. |
| 2023-03-14 |  | | Wow, I wish I'd downloaded this first when I started learning Japanese! All the grammar and syntax and such are laid out where I can easily read them and take a quick quiz, instead of having to listen to someone explain things or watch a video. That really helps me to process at my own pace! Still a little fuzzy about what to do with "points," and a little overwhelmed by the sheer number of things to explore, but overall, I'm impressed! |
| 2023-02-21 |  | | Awesome really. Content wise, it took me 2 years on an average of 1h/day to catch up the lessons. Got my JLPT N4 in the meantime. I had just completed the Kanji to the N3 List. I could not go through all the articles to read, vocab, listening comprehension, and grammar. I completed the verb list on present, past tense plain polite and negative form. Quality wise, explication are far above the 20+ different apps I already tested. It's a great companion on Japanese learning journey. |
