* WHAT OUR (SUPER AWESOME) FANS HAVE TO SAY *

“I have no Japanese experience, so I was curious what would happen if I gave it a shot. I was immediately hooked and found myself learning the basics without even knowing it.”

“I’ve been studying Japanese for 2 years and this is the first time I’ve come across a program I can’t wait to use everyday.”

* THE SCIENCE BEHIND MINDSNACKS *

At MindSnacks we like to keep it fun, but we’re serious about learning. That’s why our Japanese app includes 8 challenging games designed by education experts. Each game teaches a specific skill and helps create a well-rounded learning experience for both kids and adults that goes well beyond basic flashcards.

Of course studying is only worth it if it works, so our unique algorithm reinforces the learning process using proven methods from the field of memory studies. Over time, the games adapt to your individual performance, selectively repeating Japanese words, phrases and grammatical points with which you’ve previously struggled. In other words, as you learn Japanese, the app learns about you for a more effective learning experience.

Whether you’re traveling to Japan for pleasure or learning Japanese for business, MindSnacks will help with your grammar and vocab so you can become less reliant on a dictionary or translator. Great for beginning and intermediate learners of Japanese, MindSnacks is like a helpful Japanese teacher that goes where you go and teaches on your terms.

Useless now
Whatttthehelll

I paid $20 for this app a few years ago. Wanted to pick up some language skills and it says I can’t download it because the app hasn’t been updated to be compatible with IOS 11. What happened?


Update!!
omgR8

I love this app I just need an update so continue using it


Disappointed
Add jjjj

This app was amazing. I learned so much by using this app but suddenly the developers stopped updating and I can’t use it at all anymore :( I paid for the full language package for nothing. I was half way done with Spanish and starting Japanese. Wish they would continue to update I can’t find any app that compares


I loved this app please update it so I can use it again
Odd fangirl

I got this app a while ago and used it to learn numerous words in Japanese in a colorful and fun way. Today I tried to redownload the app because I am now taking actual Japanese classes and found that I could not download it because it doesn’t work with the latest version of IOS. So please update it! I love this app!


App don’t work

Does not work

This was my favorite language app until it stopped working after an update. I saw another app that has very similar looking features. I’m wondering, or assuming, this company just changed names to get us to pay them again. I bought it in Japanese and Italian. They were the most expensive of all the language apps, but at the time seemed to be worth the buck. But after this debacle, I wish I never gave them my money. I think we should get refunds for this company so they wouldn’t be so willing to walk away from their clients only to pull some scam with a new name.


Please come back!

Mindsnacks has changed and moved on, not enough money to make vs the time to fix the app. They can’t even spare one engineer to slowly go through all the games @ElevateLabs. The demand is here! The money has been spent and a great learning game has been lost to the void of small developers. @ElevateLabs, if you cannot do it, give up on the IP and let someone else do the minimal updates to make it work through iOS and Android updates. It’s true your company is small and going through each language to make them work is a time consuming event! This app is not like most models, I do not pay a dollar for a few hours of extra gameplay, no, I pay an upfront fee to get the game forever. Now I cannot play a game I have paid for. I am more disappointed in the fact that you have just given up and left it to rot. Many people worked on this! They spent their time working for you to help others learn! And how do treat them? By giving up on their work, Just terribly disappointing. I’m sure many still work with you, on your new adventure, Elevate. What do they say when they hear you’ve left their work to rot? As an artist and worker bee myself, I’d be insulted, and you should be ashamed of yourself of not taking responsibility of your work and more importantly others people hard earned money. Disappointing.


Update to iOS 11 please
Quique11

I love this app but please update This is my favorite learning app it's the easiest way to learn Japanese (for me atleast ) the games really help with the learning process please do a update for iOS 11 soon


PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP
iCazgal

I was going to pay money to unlock extra content, because only the numbers part is free, but the developer just abandoned this app and now I can’t open it anymore because it needs an update for iOS11. ???


Apples fault?
yussef

You pay for software for a system and you think that means you can use that software. The company stops updating and it doesnt run on the newer os. No wonder people say open source is better! I gave 5 star because i think apple is more at fault than the developers.
