JA Sensei: Learn Japanese JLPT users say on Google Play
I installed tons of Japanase learning apps and I can say this one is one of the best I've had. It lacks certain part of listening and reading section, but the grammar section is just heaven-sent. It just perfect. And the verb conjugator is tremendously helpful, like I can see the list of verb in every kind of tense. For lifetime membership, it is really cheap. Worth every penny.
This app is very good! I think it would be perfect if they could add spaced review system for grammar and the possibility to reset your study progress! Everything else works really well!
There are JLPT N3 grammar items that do not exist, and I've downloaded everything. Things like this are missing: あまりにも、に関して、に加えて.... There should be about 180 JLPT N3 grammar items.. So I wonder where all the missing grammar items are. I have JA Sensei Premium. I need the app to help me study specifically JLPT N3 Grammar/Vocab/Kanji, and test me on these, and allow me to practice these. But a full list of JLPT N3 grammar items should exist AT LEAST. Some future AI integration may be nice too
Great explanations! Love it. The modules take too long to install and cannot login if you forget username, no easy way to recover it
I could not login after creating an account. The UI is not user friendly and the email instructions are not helpful
