i did a couple of lessons, planning to leave it there after a story and come back later, but it cut the story i was doing off after like 5 sections, and asked me to pay. i get that youre gonna need money, but couldnt you make it more like how duolingo allows you to keep going with lessons, but to pay for the premium you get benefits like better stories or whatever. this has potential but i wish it was more accesible to people who dont wanna pay, i wanna learn but theres no alternatives i know of

This started off as a very fun and easy to use app, I love how it makes learning feel more like a game rather than a chore, though I'm currently stuck on a lesson because it's a speaking exercise and I'm mute so I'm unable to do it. For previous speaking exercises there was a clear option to skip but for some reason I can't for this one. I'm a bit disappointed since this app was so engaging....please let me progress!! 。・(つд`。)・。

Was intrigued by it's story telling potential to teach me Japanese but after a week or two, the app requires a paid subscription to continue any of the lessons. So I tried to keep along with the practice mode since it was still free, but I never felt like I memorize any of the kanji they kept throwing at me. Not to mention how picky some of the spoken sections are, you could be saying the same word over and over again without any direction as to how it should be said. Just get a different app.
