StickyStudy Japanese App Reviews

The red-to-green color progression as you learn is instant gratification and very good indication of where you stand at a certain point. This app is very well polished and thorough for anyone looking to learn kanji.

This is the best kanji study app you can buy. The algorithm is perfect, and the progress graphs give you good feedback and motivation. The only downside is that it is difficult to sync between iPhone and iPad because you can only backup one grade at a time. That said, if you want to learn kanji, this app is worth every penny.

Ive been using this app for more than a year and it has definitely helped me in learning new kanji. I use this app as a supplement to my study, and have been working from first grade level and up. My only complaint is that sometimes when studying a kanji, it doesnt match what i know. Like 屋 is defined as Premise, but in midori is roof, house, shop, dealer, seller. When i search for 部屋 though, 屋 shows up as roof, house, shop, dealer, seller. Maybe the study version of the kanji could reflect better with common usages. Otherwise an excellent app!

Best flash card app for Kanji and Japanese!!

Great app! Easy to use. Built in decks covering JLPT Kanji N1 - N5 JLPT Vocab N1 - N5 School Grades 1 - 9 You can easily create your own decks as well.

Elegant and effective study aid. Only flaw I noticed is that the flashcards get progressively slower to display the answers as more are viewed. Go through 200+ cards and the slowdown is clearly noticeable. Killing the app and restarting "solves" it. A basic text viewer (perhaps using iTunes file sharing for file import) would be a nice addition. Maybe also the ability to scan an imported text file and construct a flashcard set from the contents automatically. This app is obviously a labor of love. Many thanks to the author for such a useful tool.

Great and absolutely one of the best apps to learn japanese definitely worth the full price only one thing to complain about it which is some annoying glitch where it wont fully scroll down even though its obvious that you can continue scrolling since I see half a kanji letter that wont fully show but I still use it all the time and it now seems so much easier to have a fully kanji/dictionary in the palm of your hand.

Awesome app, I am enjoying study times with that :D

I had just written a 1000 character review that cried out to the heavens the numerous virtues that this app poses, but alas, as I clicked send, the App Store declined my previously selected name and unceremoniously deleted my love letter of adoration. Thus I shall reduce my simmering pot of love for this app into a thick viscous syrupy dollop of praise. This app is amazing, I learnt TONS in relatively little time, and the interface is a dream, it so cheap and so convenient, youre cheating yourself by not downloading it. Get it, I promise you wont regret it.

Purchasing this app is the best decision Ive ever made. I bought it two weeks ago and have been studying like crazy and have learned about 300 kanji. I speak pretty fluent Japanese but I am illiterate because I cant read kanji. (I can read hiragana and katakana just fine). This app is the best purchase Ive ever made in the App Store. The dictionary is genius, I love how you can save words you looked up to what you Are currently studying so you can learn it, and I love how you set a goal to learn a set of kanji by and it tells you how many you need to check off every day in order to reach that goal. Seriously genius. Buy it. Its worth the money. One suggestion I might have is that it took me a while to tinker through the app in order to figure out how it worked and everything. Consider a simple tutorial to help people get started and familiar with the app. Other than that, perfect.

This app helped me pass N1. Super handy.

This app has everything on my "perfect kanji/vocab study tool" wish list, no compromises. Its probably the most used app on my phone. On top of that, the app creator is incredibly responsive, and often has a fix out for any issues reported within days.

This is the best japanese flash card app out there. Easy to use, clean interface, and a flash card algorithm that works. With built in flash card libraries and the ability to easily create your own, this is absolutely my go to app for studying.

This is the first app I have ever bought. Ive been trying to study Japanese by myself for a long time, but only since I started using this app I felt like actually learning the language. Its a really complete app that allows you to learn pretty advanced vocabulary. 8 dollars is just too cheap!

I cant get the audio for n4-n1 in the settings. It says cant connect to app store. Please fix it. Best app anyway

This app is a great tool in learning the kanji, well worth it! Support for it is fast and responsive too! Get this app!

This app has helped me tremendously! I am learning to read Japanese so quickly. I definitely recommend it.

This app has been one of the greatest learning tools Ive come across. I absolutely love it, and the new speech function makes this app a million times better. Definitely recommend this to anybody whos serious about studying Japanese.

I wish I had bought this app years ago. Practicing my Japanese vocab has never been more efficient. Its essentially smart flash cards, with audio for the words, it remembers if you get them right or wrong and retests you appropriately. It also provides a very useful Japanese-English Dictionary, and shows the stroke order for Kanji. It even came preloaded with the Kanji/vocab lists for JLPT N5-N1 and Grade 1-9. I can link it to drop box directly to make my own lists or make them on my iPod/iPhone directly too. The only way Id be more satisfied with this app is if it could just transmit the info directly into my brain.

I looked at every kanji app there is, and installed and tested most of the more promising ones. Stickystudy is easily the hands down winner, for all the great features so many others have already mentioned: the similar characters section, the scheduler, the progress visualization, the drilling down to explore anything that interests you, the built in dictionary saving to a learning deck, just the right amount of customization ability. Kanji felt like an insurmountable obstacle and now I feel like I am cruising on autopilot. The only suggestion for improvement I would hope for is a more robust sync functionality so I can more easily switch between my iPad and iPod
