Latest reviews of Japanese with Trickster Tanuki: Learn a new word every day! app for iPhone and iPad

Fun for casual learning
I like the aesthetic of the app and hearing the pronunciation of the words. As a Japanese language novice, I also appreciated the simple descriptions of the alphabets.
Love this app!
Ive increased my Japanese vocabulary steadily since using this app. Thanks so much!
Good, but with a grain of salt
Ive had this app for three days and greatly enjoy it but Ive already noticed a mistake. I recommend the app, and most of the time it is correct, but Id double check. The example Im talking about specifically, for those who are curious, is: tree, き, which is supposed to have the kanji 木 but is listed with the kanji 樹. 樹 is correct is specific tree-related words 大樹 (big tree, and the example) is correct, but when just taking about "Look at those trees over there," its wrong.
Love this!!
Such a great and easy to use, fun app! Im hooked
Great but glitchy?
I like how the app shows the kanji and the general look of it. Its a great way to learn "daily" vocab. My only issue is that I dont get a word every day, but every two days...
