Worth it, a few crashes here and there but it saves progress. Its engaging for being so simple and has you speaking very early. I'd like to see a writing practice feature and some reading, but I might not be far enough yet.

I really liked it and was consistent with the free trial. I liked the silliness of the story and it was teaching me things I didn't know before. But in practice sessions they'd randomly spring new words or phrases on me that I haven't practiced. I liked practicing speaking though.. It's not beginner friendly - you must have some idea of hiragana/katakana going into it. The subscription is too expensive and once the trial ran out I couldn't learn new things. I could only do the daily practice.

Wth, the music is SO LOUD. it completely drowns out the dialogue, and you can't turn it off without muting both. There's a setting , but it doesn't affect the stories segments/ tests, it's just blasting like before. and the sound effects are super loud & distracting, too. Which is a shame, because what little I was able to get through was good instruction & practice, and I like the focus on real world speaking & listening. I want to live this, but I can't even use it.
