Pastel Daily Kana Quiz (Hiragana & Katakana Test) Reviews

Really nice, but one major issue

This app is well done, but they really need to allow me to control the amount of time each character is displayed. Two seconds is not long enough for a beginner. I upgraded to the paid version with the hopes that this option would be available, but I was disappointed to find it still missing. You should allow me to control the number of seconds and even allow for no timer at all. Please consider adding this. Thanks!

Lovely Minimalist Kana App

Finally found what I was looking for in this app after trying a few others. Just pure kana drilling with a brutally short timer and audio cues. A bit expensive for what it is, but the free version is sufficient to get a good base if you know the rules already. My only request would be to please add audio only cues. Thatd be interesting. Also it'd be cool if there was a drawing mode but I understand thats a hard engineering problem to solve

Paid for unlock feature but didn't received it

I was so happy with the app that I even paid for the extra feature. But I didn't get the features even though it took my $4.99.

really cute and helpful

??sofia??

the colors of this app are really cute! i also think it's super helpful for reviewing, although i've only gotten about halfway through the hiragana so far. the only suggestion i have is to add the diacritics and their sounds to the "revise the kana" page.

Excellent practice for beginners, great design too.

Fantastic app!

This app is good looking, fun, and customizable. I was compelled to buy the full version after just a couple of rounds! This is worth every penny! It transforms the learning experience into a fun game! You can choose between matching the kana to the sound or sound to the kana. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

I really want to use it

This is a beautiful app. It focuses on learning hiragana and katakana. It avoids fluff and is well designed. I would use this exclusively and have no problem paying to unlock the rest of the features if it weren’t for one thing. Each character is only displayed for two to three seconds. Once that time is up, the character is gone. You can’t study where you went wrong, which is a problem for many similar characters. Consider these three characters: われね. You have no hope of learning them when they just flash for a couple seconds. If this app gave the ability to extend the time that each character is shown it would make all the difference. For beginners it would be nice to disable it entirely, only moving on once you’ve made a choice. Unfortunately with the app how it is, I can only see this being helpful for people who know these characters fairly well. I’m also discouraged to see other reviews mentioning the same problem and yet the app hasn’t been updated in 7 months. I hope the developer takes note and fixes this. I will then gladly pay for the upgrade.

Useful app for beginners

I definitely recommend this app for beginners who are trying to learn the first steps of the Japanese language, especially for those who are looking for free apps to practice with. App is simple and easy to understand. I love that I can control my quizzes. In the settings menu, I can select the line of new characters I’d like to practice on or practice just with the characters I have most difficulty remembering. App also provides a chart of Hiragana and Katakana characters as a reference. The only down fall most people would probably dislike is the 60sec time limit with each character during the quizzes. Sometimes I wish there was an option for a longer time limit but that’s where purchasing upgrades of this app traps you. In a way, the limited time limit is helpful because it challenges your memory. In that case, I give it 5 stars. Overall, it’s a great app. Moving forward, I might just purchase the full version in the future.

Very effective

The design makes you want to play more and its great to challenge yourself. One suggestion though, it would be really good if you could have a mode where you tap on the hiragana or katakana with only sound.

Great Interface, great for beginners!!

I’ve had a fun time practicing hiragana and katakana with this app! I don’t really understand the revise the kana section. What is its purpose?? Besides that though, this has been a beautiful way to reinforce my memory of the characters. So grateful for aesthetically pleasing apps like this one!
