DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER JAPANESE LEARNING PROGRAMS:
• Completely offline, so you don't need to pay usage fees.
• Uses visuals, mnemonics, sound examples and quizzing to help you remember the characters through instead of just showing you the character and leaving you on your own to find a way to learn it.
• Includes a word reading test to put your new skills to use

Test yourself with the built in Katakana quiz to see which characters you have memorized and which need more practicing as well as what percentage of questions you got right.
