Edit: 10/28/24. Okay, had to come back later to add more... Fantastic app, enormous amount of content and highly customizable according to your needs/wants. But get this... I emailed the developer a question (content appeared not available even though I had paid for premium), and he responded in 11 MINUTES with a simple fix for my issue. Absolutely worth it, pay for premium 👍

Bought lifetime membership. Then bought new phone. now membership unavailable. Caution. don't switch phones or you lose it. update due to developer response: I didn't change the email address. I just won't recognize me. Update: it took a bit to get my profile profress as it wouldn't allow my profile password to work even though I had it written down. Fortunately, the request via my email worked an now I can use the app. Restart was the last step in the app. Thank you!

Sorry about that issue. It's not exactly true. The license is linked to your email address you used when you purchased the app, and managed by Google. EDIT: start JA Sensei, log into your account (M...7) and press "KANA" for 2 seconds. It should reactivate the license. Contact me if it doesn't work.

I can tell, right off the bat, that this app is going to be my go-to for learning and practicing Japanese. I feel like I'm going to get lost in all of the ways I can learn with this app! From listening, speaking, reading and writing to practicing all of those things at once with flashcards or go to the grammar section or read up on cultural blunders one might make, unawares. There is so much to explore. This is the way language learning software should be made!
