One review queue
Words, kanji and grammar share a single spaced-repetition queue (FSRS). Every wrong answer goes back in, so weak spots get fixed, not forgotten.

Inside the app
Made for short, daily sessions.
Features
Everything the exam asks for, nothing it doesn't.
Built around how the JLPT actually works, so your study time goes where the points are.
Mock tests that feel real
Timed sections in the official order, then an estimated score per section with a warning if you would miss a sectional pass mark.
Tap any word
Every Japanese word in a sentence or question is tappable for its reading, meaning and level. Furigana appears for kanji above your level.
Mistake notebook
Wrong answers are collected by section and grammar point. One tap turns them into a focused practice set.
Kana made fun
Learn hiragana and katakana with charts, quizzes, matching and word-building games, plus short stories that use only what you know.
Offline, and no ads in Premium
All content is in the app, so you can study on the train with no signal. Premium has zero ads, ever. No account needed.
How it works
Ten minutes a day adds up.
Pick your level and goal
Start at N5 or jump straight to the level you are aiming for. Set a daily goal of 5, 10 or 20 minutes.
Learn and review
Short lessons introduce new words, kanji and grammar. The review queue brings each one back right before you would forget it.
Test yourself
Practice by section, then take a timed mock test. See your estimated score and fix your weak spots.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Which levels does Kantan JLPT cover?
All five: N5, N4, N3, N2 and N1. Each level has vocabulary, kanji, grammar, practice questions and a mock test.
Is it free?
Yes. N5 is fully free, and every other level has its first units free so you can try it. You also get 15 practice questions a day and one mock test per level. Premium unlocks everything.
Are the questions copied from real JLPT exams?
No. Every meaning, example sentence and practice question is written for this app. The questions follow the JLPT format so you know what to expect on test day.
Can the app predict my real JLPT score?
It gives an estimate. The real JLPT uses scaled scoring, so the app shows a range per section and always labels it as an estimate.
Do I need an account?
No. Your progress is stored on your device. If you buy Premium, it is tied to your Apple or Google account and can be restored on a new phone.
When is it coming out?
Kantan JLPT is launching on the App Store and Google Play soon. The download buttons on this page will go live on launch day.
