GENKI Conjugation Cards App Reviews

Extremely basic functionality and constantly quits

Whoever wrote this didnt really seem interested in making it useful. There is no way to select cards for your review based on your current progress in Genki. Instead, one picks sets that cuts across material in more than one chapter. Also, when it comes time to check your answer, it gives you the verb ending, which is half the answer. My feeling about this app is that currently it is not of any use at all and when it might be usable I wont need it anymore.

Like many people studying Japanese, I’ve bought a ton of apps. This one has surprised me. It’s quite good, excellent for what it is advertised for. Well done.

I am really impressed with this app, if you are using an Iphone/Ipad and studying Japanese this is really a help. If you are using the Genki book series, this is a MUST HAVE app. Unless you are a savant at studying Japanese...and I know Im not...you know that one of the big hurdles of becoming proficient at Japanese is mastery of verb (and adjective) conjugation. I wish I had this app a year ago when I started with Genki, but even with a year into Genki Im already thrilled with the app. Looks great on both iPhone (Im using the 6) and iPad. Hats off to the UX design group, its an easy to use app. Essentially following the verb/adjective conjugation order as presented in the Genki 1 and 2 texts, you have these main ways to use the app: 1) "Menu" option gives you two main ways to use flashcards. It also lets you create you own set of flashcards. This is huge IMHO. Ive used several other flashcard programs, and unless you manually edit the deck youre often stuck with the total collection of flashcards to study with. This app allows you to choose verbs/adjectives from each chapter. Choose one, choose many, choose all...its up to you. Once you have selected your deck,you can either A) review it, or B) study it through a standard Question, you provide the answer. Each review card is well designed, has audio/example/rule description, and Kanji with furigana conjugated word. 2) Use an alphabetical LIST of the verbs/adjectives to study 3) Review the RULES of the conjugations Other items of note: Audio pronuciation, example sentences and translation, and you enter in your answers in Japanese! This last feature is great, they show you the easy way to add in a Japanese keyboard into your iphone/ipad (dead simple to do). You really should be using less and less Romajii, and this app helps you do this too. As you can tell, Im very impressed with this app. Id also recommend the Genki Vocab and Kanji apps too. I could have saved myself lots of $$s when I started with Genki had I know about these three apps by The Japan Times. Im not associated with these apps, just a delighted student of Nihongo. Well done!

App is okay but constantly freezes and has to be restarted. Some of the tutorial images are missing or intentionally left blank. Cant add new words or turn off kanji readings above words. Would like to be able to turn off hints when checking also, makes testing pointless when they give you the answer above the question -.-

Good extension to learn on the go if you have/use a Genki Textbook from school. App sometimes crashes, but other than that, I actually understand some convenient grammar usage from this!

Seem like an old app. Useful with Genki textbook, because verbs are introduced in the same order. But it seems there is no way to work with multiple forms of one verb at a time — it’s only one tense at a time. I want to hear “taberu, tabimasu, tabete, tabemashita, tabeta” but this app doesn’t do that. Also, there’s no audio for the example sentences. I’m looking for a better conjugation drill app, this one isn’t working for me.

At least couple verbs taught in the Genki 3rd edition are missing in this app, including はいる、のる。

basically useless it tells you the answer to the question

1. Wish the sentences had audio 2. Every time you close the app, you start from the beginning 3. Wish there was a better way to organize the very s & the adjectives - chapter, conjugation type, tense, etc

Needs option to hide English!

I don’t understand why it’s different from the Vocab app, this one u have to spell each word out

Cannot see the present long form for verbs or adjectives

The English and Japanese infinitives are both shown on the front, making it impossible to check if you really know the word. There is no way to mark a card as learned or mark where in a deck you are when you take a break. Every time you open the app it takes you to the beginning. And the sound doesn’t work (although it does on my phone on other Genki apps).

great app but can’t access the present long form for neither verbs nor adjectives.

An app that quizzes me on conjugation is just what I was looking for.

Conjugations were something I always struggled with so this is amazing to have! The Check feature is my favorite!

Easy to use and love the indexes and examples as well as sound and the illustrations in the flash cards from the list, as it helps a lot if you are a visual learner like myself. Overall I would recommend if you enjoy all of the above and are looking for repetition in your studies.
