We’ve been rolling out updates on our main iPhone app (Japanese Phrases and Lessons) quite often over the past few months. I think it is shaping up to be a quality product (with a lot more to come!). Auto play, enhanced favorites, more display preference options, and more phrases are just a few of the recent additions.
Looking through our recent reviews, I noticed we have 15 Five Star reviews in a row! But #16 is a one star review. The app description said, “For Beginners Up.” Apparently, he is an advanced student and was not thrilled the app was mostly geared for beginners. (We are working on an advanced app!) The description has since been changed to, “For Beginners and Upper Beginners.”
A few recent comments:

I have never written a review before, but this app is so comprehensive, I felt I needed to voice my satisfaction
This is an outstanding application that gets better and better with each update…
If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, please try our free version. It isn’t nearly as good as our paid one (I need to go back and add some of the new features to it!), but it will give you an idea.

This pack contains about 90 common giongo (onomatopoeia) and gitaigo (mimetic words) sound words. Each sound word has an example sentence.
