Hiragana Lite 4+

(Update: since posting this the error has been fixed. 5 stars)

I tried a few hiragana apps and I think this is the best one for learning from scratch like I am.

4 stars because of an error I found: the flash card for ri displays the katakana character instead of hiragana (リ instead of り).

That's the only error I've found so far and I love the interface so I plan on sticking with this app.

Sleek interface, easy to use reasonable pricing for full version and lite version doesn't skimp you. Thank you hiragana app. You've saved my midterms.

I have been starting to learn Japanese for a couple months now, and needed a convenient way to memorize the Hiragana. I've downloaded 4-5 apps from iTunes and was disappointed...until now.

This is a nice straight forward app with a great user interface. I had skipped over the full version of this app in the past because it didn't look like what I wanted. However, the screenshots don't do it's functionality justice. I highly recommend downloading this free version to see how it works. I like the fact that you can check the answer and change cards with a flick of the thumb. Also, that I can select a limited set of cards that I want to review. It is hard to learn with the other apps throwing all 100+ hiragana at you all at once. Here you can select the 5 to 10 cards you want to review and hit them over and over until you get them memorized.

If you are looking for a clean straight forward app to replace a paper set of note cards, give this a try.
