★★★★★

Johanna Nowik

Truly incredible language learning journey so far! I have been wanting to improve my very weak and limited Japanese for awhile, but never found a routine that was comfortable or consistent. After playing around 15-30 minutes of Wagotabi every day for a month, I'm amazed at how fast my reading/comprehension has become, and I've memorized over 100 more kanji since I started playing. Ingenious idea for language learning, I can't wait to see how far this game goes.

★★★★

Duo Mauldin

I would absolutely love to give this five stars. it's definitely worth it. unfortunately I just upgraded my phone and now I don't have the app anymore. I'm not a fan of it being tied to the device and not the account other than that it's an amazing app

★★★

This game does have potential as it's fun, the art style is good, and the dictionary is very helpful. However I've found that the battles can be very frustrating for a semi-beginner like me. Specifically the fact that they are timed makes it so that you make more mistakes and are less careful with your answers so I wish that there was a setting to choose whether battles are timed. Aside from the battles I really enjoy the game but the battles have made me frustrated enough to not play it.

★★

Onz Brau

Does not focus on the most commonly used words and conversations. Does not provide feedback or hints when you make mistakes or get stuck. Music is verrrry repetitive.
