Let me say that it is quite clear that the market for apps have developed a lot since the time I was looking for something to put on my iPod a few years back. Even if I only picked free apps I ended up with close to sixty apps. So I’ve quickly gone through them to see if all looks worth testing. A couple of the “lite” versions of payed apps have been dropped
But there are still around fifty free iOS apps left that might help you learn hiragana and/or katakana. My first idea was to try to categorize them based on what type of study method they use but since the majority focusses on teaching you to recognise the kana characters I think think any categorisation will have to wait until I’ve tested the majority of the apps.because they provided no testable functions in the free edition. A couple of other apps was also dropped because they were entirely in Japanese and at the time when one is learning kana that is simply to hard to handle. Lastly there were some apps that were more for kanji studies so they will have to wait a while before I test them.So now it’s time to get testing…
