1/5Kinda Bogus
I really liked the idea of the app and as soon as i saw it i downloaded it but nowhere did it say you would have to pay to use the actual app, i seen where you have a subscription plan at the very bottom of your page and i still figured there would be an actual free version which i shoulda guessed their isnt one cause nothing is free but i thought this was the app you know, and not only can i not use the app i cant even delete my account information cause i cant enter the home page because everytime i sign in it take me to the stupid subscription plan why would i want my info floating around on a app i cant even use.👎 Please add a free version or something, atleast let me delete my info off your app.

5/5The app has been a lifesaver
Speaking Japanese used to feel overwhelming whenever I needed to include specific details like dates, times, or numbers in a sentence. I’d get stuck halfway through and wasn’t sure how to connect everything properly. For instance, I wanted to say, ‘I’d like to make a dinner reservation for 2 people on Saturday at 6 pm,’ but I couldn’t figure out how to piece it all together. Thanks to Sakuraspeak, I was able to cọmplete the sentence effortlessly. The app has been a lifesaver for those moments when I know part of what to say but need help to finish it confidently.

5/5The app not only points out my mistakes but also explains them clearly
Before using Sakuraspeak, I struggled with speaking Japanese confidently because I wasn’t sure if I was making mistakes or using the right grammar. It was frustrating not knowing how to improve. With Sakuraspeak’s correction and explanation features, everything changed. The app not only points out my mistakes but also explains them clearly, so I can learn and avoid repeating them. Thanks to Sakuraspeak, I’m building confidence in speaking Japanese and making real progress every day!

3/5Good For Beginners, Bad for Advanced Speakers
As an advanced speaker who lived in Japan for a long time, this app is almost useless. Flash cards don’t generate very difficult vocabulary. JLPT N4 at best. It uses archaic words and even has a notice that says “this word is not really used anymore.” Okay? So why are you prompting archaic phrases and words that have better and more modern variations? Audio recognition has trouble with vowel elongation and misrecognizes words like 木 for キー. The app also teaches too many loan words when more common variations are more often used, such as 鍵. Conversations are also irritating and pointless. You’re talking to a wall that asks you one question before repeating back your answer and asking you more simple, surface level stuff. Great for beginners to practice intonation, bad for advanced speakers who are looking for a challenge. Better than Duolingo, but still no true resources for advanced learners to level up.

2/5Doesnt give good feed back
I tried this out and I know my pronunciation is bad and it was saying I was doing by great every time. I feel like it was just trying to get me to keep using it by making me feel good about my self. Also there isn’t a decent free use version of this app. I feel like I should at least be able to do the daily tasks it gives me before forcing me to stop. All and all it is a good concept but it isn’t honest enough to be a good teach and forcibly makes to pay to use. Other app are much better at this time
