About

Everything you need for the JLPT in one app. The dictionary and the questions are inside the app, so it works with no internet — and there is no account and no server. ■ What's inside · 21,931 vocabulary items (N5 800 · N4 700 · N3 2,250 · N2 2,250 · N1 15,931) · 2,230 kanji, with on/kun readings and stroke-order animation · 595 grammar points, with what they attach to and how they are used · 152 sentence-ordering questions (bunpou 2 format) · 37 reading passages, 88 questions, with explanations and translations · Mock exams with the same sections and timing as the real test ■ It works out when to review Every card you see is scheduled by spaced repetition (SM-2). Rather than raw accuracy, it estimates the probability that you actually know an item (BKT), so lucky guesses are told apart from real knowledge. Your weak list therefore holds what you do not yet know, not merely what you got wrong. ■ It works backwards from your exam date Set the date and it calculates how many cards a day you need from the time left, the items remaining and what you have mastered. If there isn't enough time, it says so. It will not call an impossible plan achievable. ■ No internet needed The dictionary and the questions come with the app when you install it. It works on a plane and on the underground. Your study history stays on this device and is sent nowhere. ■ Free tier · Vocabulary: all of N5 plus a preview of higher levels, 30 cards a day · Kanji: all of N5 and N4 · 20 grammar points, 10 ordering questions and 2 reading passages per level · 1 mock exam · 10 pronunciation playbacks a day Premium removes every one of those limits and opens weak-item diagnosis and the exam planner. ■ Data sources Vocabulary and kanji are derived from JMdict / KANJIDIC2 (EDRDG, CC BY-SA 4.0), example sentences from the Tanaka Corpus (CC BY 2.0 FR), and stroke orders from KanjiVG (© Ulrich Apel, CC BY-SA 3.0). Grammar, reading passages, ordering questions and all glosses are original works. No JLPT past papers are used. This app is not affiliated with JEES or the Japan Foundation. Level assignments are estimated from kanji grade and usage frequency, as the official lists are not published, and are a guide only.
