Asks me to do my daily to keep up my streak for day 4...only done 3 lessons so far and you want money to try to do any more? Nope I'm done. You didn't even teach me anything more in depth, how do I know the money is worth it? I'm going back to Lingodeer.

★★★★ Kitty little 4/29/2026
I hate this app! I cannot even continue learning without being forced to purchase after the fourth lesson in hiragana. I don't want to spend money, I just want to learn!
★★★★ Lexi Holbrook 4/28/2026 v3.11.0
it looked like it would be good so I wanted to give it a try- but theres no way to see questions in English writing instead of Katakana/Kanji/ even if you choose the beginner level, and theres not a way to skip past something you already know, you have to manually click through all the slides and answer the questions you already know the answers too. Also basically everything besides the basic courses are locked behind a paywall.
★★★★ Ahad Ali 4/27/2026 v3.11.0
very worst app I hate this Duolingo is better than this useless app and worst app this are fully paid app in the start they teach you free and then they ask for money and if yiu buy plus or platinum is waste of money so so so useless I hate this app
★★★★ Jack Knight 4/24/2026 v3.10.0
Only 3 short lessons available before you have to pay. It looks like a good app but I can't test it out properly without paying
★★★★ Jefferson Barredo 4/22/2026

★★★★ Quincy Yasa 4/18/2026

★★★★★ Idan Daniels 5/7/2026 v3.12.0
has many bugs, says a mistake even though you wrote the correct answer. not that interactive as duolingo. Hard to follow every day. the content is very good but missing practicing.
★★★★★ Zaineb Ahmed 5/4/2026 v3.12.0
it's not useful until u buy the subscription.ot only allows you to learn a few letters after that it only unlocks the next column if u buy the subscription key ...
★★★★★ Michael Tumangday 4/24/2026 v3.10.0
it's good, but it being paywall heavy is a huge turn off for me. not to mention after finishing the first test it doesn't load and stuck on loading state. then nothing happens. I'm just at the Vowels test only.
★★★★★ Koyena Sarkar 4/19/2026 v3.9.0
it's good maybe but i don't like because I have to subscribe for it
