Pros and cons of Learn Japanese - Free WordPower app for iPhone and iPad

Learn Japanese - Free WordPower app good for

Images could be displayed with the words. It would make the learning process more efficient.

Brilliant app! Works great, and is unique. Great learning tool! Heres a hint I found. The words are random every day, but they are all stored in the app. If you change the date, you can get a new word to add to the library. Just takes a bit... :(

Couldve been perfect but it kept crashing since the latest update! I cant even check my word of the day anymore. :(

Near perfect. Only thing they couldve added is a choice between 2 or 3 words instead of the one random word they give a day.

Would give it ***** stars but it keeps crashing! Fix it please!

Great vocabulary builder. Nicely designed. Cant beat the price.

Some bad moments

Only people who have never learned a language in their life can imagine that you will learn japonese that way! Utterly ridiculous!

plenty of interesting lists, but they cannot be viewed or tested in sequence, whats the point of clicking right or wrong. useless until fixed, with measurable scores and efficient flow

Limited to only one word a day- even a casual learner has time for more than that! I suppose for free its worth it - but; you get what you pay for. Also, often my words and audio files did not match- it seems that there is no reload funtion either... I was thinking about shelling out for the full program- but 10 bucks? Just not worth it when there is such a fatal flaw in the system! Good luck and god bless you if you waste your money on this horrible version of the program!

So, my whole wordbank dissapeared when I got the update.... Thanks, now I cant look at the words I had.

I havent really done much with it yet but Im sure Ill learn something from it if I take the time to try. It seems like a pretty good app.

Was a good app before, but has become annoying and bloated since the last update. Constant crashes, a persistent badge notification that wont go away, words linked to the wrong audio files (the "handicaped seating" entry, for example), etc. I tried reinstalling it (and lost my word bank in the process), but no improvement. So I can only assume the app is just plain buggy now. I liked this app before. Very convenient for doing a little vocabulary building every day. But the bugs outweigh the usefulness at the moment.
