Pros and cons of Learn Japanese - WordPower app for iPhone and iPad

Learn Japanese - WordPower app good for

Great app to learn vocabulary in the train on the way to work

Exactly what I needed for improving my vocabulary and keep a motivated study path!

Such a great app for learning a ton of words. It is so helpful to learn a bunch of different words ALONG w/ studying how to read and write. I wouldnt use this as your only form of learning Japanese but it is a great tool and addition to anybodies study tools : )

Some bad moments

Ok - so I blasted the free app and then went ahead and bought this one anyway!(I know, what a hypocrite!)But this app IS decent and useful. Layout is easy to navigate and the program doesnt have any gliches. If you are just starting to learn Japanese then its great- because you can see the words then hear, then practice. However if you are intermediate - advanced dont waste your money. Sound quality is poor - and there is only a female voice. For those of you that live in Japan, youll know that men and women speak and pronounce words very differently. Overall 3 stars - decent but limited, over-priced and vocabulary choice is a little odd. Do I really need to know how to say/recognize obsolete words? I am looking forward to some updates and have been enjoying the review this program has provided.

I loved this app before but recently its stopped working...it just keeps loading forever with actually finishing loading. I got it working again by deleting and reinstalling it...but after a few days the exact same thing happened.

The structure of this software is fantastic, but the translations have lots of mistakes. Obviously the maker of this software application was only concerned about making money instead of making a quality problem. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!

After finishing quiz it stuck hang. Beside not much explanation. Not worth to have it.

This is a good study tool, I thin there could also be more features and words. Also having something that can make flashcards would be beyond amazing! But when it comes down to it this is a great application!

At the moment it is too difficult to manage the word bank we have to add or remove each word one by one. With that update, this would be 5 stars.
