Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
Version 2.0 is a large update, built on a month of hands-on testing. WHAT'S NEW • Kana blending is now a full section: 116 combinations covering dakuon (か+゛=が), handakuon (は+゜=ぱ) and youon (き+ゃ=きゃ), for both hiragana and katakana. • The dakuten and small-kana rules are shown as diagrams instead of described in text. • Writing rules, blending rules and pronunciation rules are separate sections, so every rule sits under the right heading. LEARNING • Sleep Mode: play letters, example words and pronunciation tips while falling asleep. Choose what plays, and skip what you have already mastered. • Example words now read "word /reading/ — meaning", translated into every interface language. PRACTICE • A noticeably bigger writing pad on the listening practice screen. • The celebration animation is no longer hidden behind the canvas. • Clearer quiz feedback, with the empty brackets in error analysis removed. INTERFACE • Contact Us is now an in-app form instead of opening a mail app. • A teaching-style font in the alphabet chart, evenly filled rows, and a calmer learning-state highlight. • Many wording fixes, so no screen shows the wrong language.
