What's New

We have worked hard to bring new features and fixes directly to your wrist.

– Do you have an older iDevice version? As for 2.1 you can use Kana practice on iOS 9 and WatchOS 3.
– Now, when failing a symbol, it informs you about the symbol that you confused. Hopefully it will help you to differentiate between the two symbols to reduce the error rate.
– The smart practice feature is now smarter. But fear not! We will keep it dummy enough so it won't dominate the world (hopefully).
– Did you find the same symbol symbol repeated twice in a row two frequently? Now we try to not show the same symbol twice in a row.
– Now you can see a combined table of hiragana a katakana directly on the Apple Watch for convenience.
– Do you think only a new table is not enough? Why about another one? Like one with the monograms, digraphs and diacritics together? Wish granted.

But wait, there's more...

Did you notice that sometimes, when resuming the application, strange things happened? We too. And now it should be fixed.
