This app is pretty entertaing and helps to practice and learn new vocabulary. I think the mix of english instructions and japanese vocab works especially well for me. You do have to pay $4.99 if you want all of the levels (there's a lot) but it does give you a good ammount of them in the free version. My one wish is that there would be a way to search through or organize your vocab in the "words found" section. That way it's easier to review and look up vocabulary that you use in the game.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, I really appreciate it! I am not making any major changes to the app at the moment, but I will certainly keep your request in mind if I am able to make some changes of that size. Do let me know if you need anything else! I'm always available at [email protected].

Really like the app, but I'm not a fan of the controls. Pressing erase erases the rest of the word from whatever letter I'm on, and even erases letters for words that have already been marked correct so I have to input each one again. I'd really prefer to only erase one box at a time. And I wish I could select which individual box I want to put a letter into instead of selecting the whole word and inputting letter by letter in order. It's frustrating. Otherwise, I love the app.

Thank you so much for the candid feedback. I'll add a fix for the erasing issue (removing correct terms) in the next update. Regarding your other comments, I'd *love* to use them to make some updates, but I'd like to ask you a few questions about when those situations are coming up for you. Please drop me a line at [email protected]!

Great app. However, I've noticed when some words that use a mixture of katakana and hiragana, it can cause some confusion and more importantly it also seemed to confused the developer. One puzzle you need to spell out tonkatsu but the default options are in hiragana however, due to the mixed use of kana, the last character only has the option to use katakana. Ive only played a few puzzles and this could be a one off issue but something like this can be confusing especially for beginners.

Thanks for the feedback! I'd love to know which puzzle has this issue, as the ones I pulled up with とんカツ gave the correct character boxes. The system is designed to allow overlapping of katakana and hiragana. so having the double character on an overlapping box is expected. I'd love to hear from you, though! I'm always here at [email protected].

Small fix to text color in some popups in dark mode.
