Promotional text “One memorable image for every Japanese word, plus a quick check to find your level. Reviews come in daily portions, not hundreds at once. Free to start, JLPT N5 to N1.”

New version 3.3.0 → 3.4.0

CLEARER PICTURES FOR OVER 1,100 WORDS Every picture is now easier to match to its word at a glance—no more guessing what it is meant to show. CARDS SCROLL PROPERLY AT LARGER TEXT SIZES At larger text sizes, word cards could extend past the bottom of the screen, leaving some content out of reach. Cards now scroll properly at every text size. A CLEARER START FOR NEW LEARNERS The quick level check now comes first, so your starting level fits you from the very first set. Choosing your own level is still one tap away. Also in this update: • Look up any word in a definition or example sentence while you are still trying to recall the answer — words that would give the answer away stay closed until you reveal it. • Readings are spoken correctly again for words listed with a suffix, such as 練習 (renshuu). • The level check no longer shows a fixed number of questions — it ends as soon as it has enough information to place you. • New learners now start at N5 by default, instead of N4. • A small number of words that a single image can't reliably represent — counters, dates, and bare numerals — have been removed.

About

Learn every Japanese word through a memorable image. Pictango pairs each of its 6,700+ words with an image designed to make it memorable. Words are ordered from JLPT N5 to N1 across 66 finely graded levels. LEARN IN SETS OF 20 Each session is one focused set. You learn the words, test yourself on them, then review the ones coming due — and finish with a clear stopping point instead of an endless feed. FIND YOUR STARTING LEVEL Not sure where to begin? Take the quick level check: read a few words, say whether you knew them, and Pictango suggests a level that fits. You can change it any time. READ IT YOUR WAY Show furigana above kanji, or switch to kana or romaji whenever you like. Definitions and example sentences can be shown in Japanese or English, so you can start before you can read kanji. TAP ANY WORD YOU DON'T KNOW Stuck on a word inside a definition? Tap it, and that word's own image card opens right there. No dictionary, no losing your place. COMES BACK BEFORE YOU FORGET Spaced repetition returns each word at the moment it's about to fade, and tells you when your next review is due. Words you've truly learned graduate out of the queue. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY No account. No ads. Your learning stays on your device, and the cards keep working offline after you open the app once. WHAT'S FREE Learn your first 150 words at no cost — enough to know whether Pictango fits how you study. Premium unlocks all 6,700+ words. Note on levels: Pictango's N5–N1 ordering is its own study path, not an official JLPT syllabus. Images, definitions and example sentences are produced with AI and quality-checked; for exam preparation, confirm against official materials.
