Japanese Flash

A beautiful Flash Card app for beginning to advanced students of Japanese.

What our customers are saying about jFlash:

“Best app I’ve found for reviewing vocabulary…Best money I have ever spent on my Japanese studies.”

“These guys knew what they were doing when they made this for sure!”

“What I find most useful…is that the creators designed this app with the ‘on the ground’ feel. There are sets that are specifically tuned into what one may encounter in Japan…”

“I wish I had had this 10 years ago when I first came to Japan.”

- all quotes come from reviews on the App Store.
