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 [...]

A great review for our flagship iPhone app: Japanese Phrases & Lessons

The Dojo Kun are five succinct guidelines for becoming the [...]

For a limited time (meaning, Clay hasn’t decided yet!), we are discounting our popular Beginners Vocabulary Download to less than a buck! (well, ok, one penny less than a buck)

I just added a new section to theJapanesePage.com’s online audio phrasebook: Family Words
A few days ago, I got an email from a user of our Japanese Phrases & Lessons iPhone app.  He was very complimentary;  I had to press him for suggestions for improvements.

An iPhone user with digital cash in hand hunting for the next killer app to impress his iPhone-less friends, views a category in the iTunes App Store.  He is instantly greeted by twenty apps filling up the better part of the iTunes real estate.  These are the “new releases.”
