Gengo Grammar - Japanese

I bought this app to help prepare me for the JLPT level 1 I enjoyed JapanesePod101 podcasts in the past and I assumed theyd make a great program To their credit grammatical points are easy to search for and the explanations and examples are clear The main problem is lack of content There are at least 100 grammar points tested in level 1 Only 21 are included here For level 2 about 190 points are tested This app lists 72 The audio seemed like a great feature except that it doesnt work Normally I would contact the producers before posting a negative review but the support pages linked to here do not go anywhere Given the lack of content this app might be valuable to beginners but for may 2 or 3 max At 999 this is ripoff And without any way to contact them about the broken audio it borders on a scam Hold off until these problems are addressed UPDATE The audio in the app does work        Has Potential Many Flaws

App is updated and works but it is still costs 50 more than it should There arent a lot of good Japanese grammar apps and this one does have a good deal of info Not the easiest to use for studying but it is good for reference If I had the choice to buy this again I wouldnt for 999           Works now but

I wanted to choose one Japanese learning app from among the many put out by ILL and I thought this would be best for my weak point grammar The app was a really good effort However there are still a noticeable number of missing audio files I would strongly suggest a redesign of the layout as well For example make the top part of the scrollable screen or allow it to be minimized This would give a lot more room for the example sentences Also the touchable audio icon for each example should really be alongside its respective written example As it is if you want to hear and read an example at the same time youve got to do a lot of quick backandforth scrolling It feels tedious and isnt so fun for the eyes           Not the easiest to study with

I found this app to be very useful and i find myself lucky that i was able to download it last friday while browsing for free apps even tho its certainly not free anymore if you do buy it it will prove worthy of your money i just think its slightly overpriced All in all its pretty good 4              Its useful

Too bad it wont work anymore Since updating to iOS 4 on my 3GS iPhone the app no longer works This is a great app for practicing Japanese There are tons of real audio clips with native speakers only It has a great search feature that you can use like a phrase dictionary Not nearly as nice as the 400 electronic dictionaries everyone carries around here in Japan but for 10 its worth the money Please fix the app I really want to use it again              Used to be great

This program would probably be a great tool for beginners but even so theres not much material on here for the pricealthough I will say that the material they do have is really great If they added more advanced material this program would be worth its price        Overpriced

When an app hasnt been updated for as of today a year and a half thats a pretty reliable indication that you should avoid this app Granted the grammar points are useful But no retina display its slow searching is tedious Largely overpriced for what it does     Avoid

There is some good information here but the app is poorly designed For US2 it would be acceptable but certainly not at this price Would not buy I again        Honestly not so good
