About this app
Learning Japanese language? "Kana" will make you memorize, read and write the 2 Japanese alphabets: Hiragana & Katakana, and even track your progress! The most popular Kana app on the AppStore.
Features: • Kana tables (customizable) • Drawing practice • Quiz (multiple choice, keyboard and handwriting recognition) • Progress tracking and statistics • Lists • Optional study reminders • Study mode • NO ad / NO in-app purchase!
Bonus: configure the quizzes to your preferences and desired scope, consult your training history, progress or individual kana statistics and rankings.
Learn Japanese with ease once you master all the hiragana and katakana. Kana is simple yet powerful, people love it and you will too.
Give it a try, and let me know what additional feature you want to see. I am continuously improving the app.

Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.
